This unit is made by two video presentations of the same lesson in two very different stills. The first one is clearly made to showcase what a ‘bad’ lesson could be, the second one is a ‘good’ example of a lesson.
The first one is bad, due to some actions (or non actions) of the teacher: a moved a lot during the introduction (didn’t introduce himself nor asked the student’s names), seemed unsure (looking a lot through his papers ...), wasn’t prepared in some areas (he realizes that the class has an uneven number of students during the activate stage) and give a general negative feeling to the students by saying things like: "That’s wrong" and "No" all the time, but also by saying: "Nobody got me", "You’ve done nothing!", "Yeah, it’s fine, it’s fine", "It’s not important". He didn’t explain much (of the grammar point in question, nor the rules for the activities). This let the students to be uninterested, confused and didn’t answers his questions.
The second lesson is better, thanks to the teachers actions. He introduced him self, and made each student introduce themselves, a had prepared material on the board, tried to elicit the grammar points from the students themselves, explained more and gave examples, let the students have time to do the exercise (and made them do in pairs), made sure each student talked. He monitored well (without asking within the first 10 seconds if the students where finished yet nor looked at his phone) and kept track of how things where going. The students felt more ensured and participated a lot more than in the first example. He gave a much more positive vibe (encouraging the students, saying they’ve done well ...).
