The level of the students was high enough in the first video to handle fairly well the gruff attitude and poor instructions, explanations, and demonstrations of the teacher. Although the teacher through out difficult words at the beginning of the class, students were still willing to try. However, the teacher seemed to call on the same student again and again, and told students outright that their answers or pronunciation were bad. Their feelings appeared hurt by his heavy-handed, nearly cruel correction. During the Activate phase, which was neither demonstrated nor properly explained, there was too much teacher-talk-time and nearly no original use of the target language by students.
In the second video, the teacher steadily built the language from what students already knew to the new language. The transitions between each stage were fairly smooth and very well thought out. Students responded well to praise, showing a willingness to try and to please the teacher. Even when a student struggled to make a contribution, he kept giving the student another chance. The teacher clearly pointed out the differences between spoken and written language, making sure students understood. His demo of the interview BINGO game was a little long and not so clear for such a simple activity. He did wrap up the lesson well by having each student share something they learned about their classmates.
