Half-way through this course I was given a great opportunity to observe an example of effective and ineffective teaching. The first lesson was obviously and example of how NOT to do. For example this lesson missed the engage phase, students felt confused with the instructions as they were too complex to understand, the teacher didn't support his speech with gestures or visual aids to help students understand the vocabulary, he didn't make attempts to understand students’ questions or answer them, there were no instructions provided on how to complete the worksheets, the teacher didn't praise students for correct answers, discouraged them with his strict “no” answers and therefore failed to build a good rapport with his them. On the other hand during the second lesson teacher started with introducing himself and asking students names, he gave them clear instructions and motivated them with praise, he used a lot of visual aids and gestures and he looked friendly and very enthusiastic about his lesson.All above said supports the idea that I have learned from the very first unit that teachers attitude, manner and teaching style has the greatest impact on the effectiveness of the lesson.
