Video Lessons
This lesson presented two videos of a teacher teaching the same material to the same class with different styles and techniques.
In the first video, the teacher generally displays a negative attitude--he doesn't smile, and seems to not want to be there. He starts the class by using vocabulary that is beyond the student's ability, and then disparages them for not responding. He is mostly unengaged with the students during the study activities, at on point reading a book while students do a worksheet. He does not introduce himself or learn the students' names, which makes him seem uninterested. Throughout, the students seem confused and intimidated.
In the second video, the teacher is friendly and enthusiastic. He employs several strategies to communicate the lesson content, including pictures, gestures, and miming. He introduces himself and learns the students' names. He uses pair work rather than individual work and encourages the students to correct and help one another. This seems to increase rapport between the students. In general, the students seem much more engaged and happy in the second video.
