Reflection about my lesson

I met group members to discuss how we would teach students "What do you have for ~?". We decided to focused on "Warm-up" and "Practice".

In our lesson, first we played the word game as warm-up. In this game one said favorite food and tossed ChokiChoki to someone...... Next we asked the question "Do you like~?" as review. And then, we wrote "Do you have for ~?" and "I have ~" on the blackboad. We read the textbook and got students to repeat it. We demonstrated that "What do you have~?" is useful phrase by the short play. We taught "breakfast, lunch and dinner" before we asked some students "What do you have for~?". After that, we played the game as practice. The pair asked the question about meals and answered it each other. Finally, we repeated the phrases.

I think the most successful parts of the lesson are "Practice", because students seemed to enjoy asking the question. However we should improve how to teach new words, because some sudents didn't seem to understand them. For example, we should have demonstrated them with colorful picture. And we should improve the way of repeating, because some students could not pronounce the phrases and understand them well. For example, we should have got students to repeat rhythmic as Mr.Hall did or used music. So I think that was the least successful parts of the lesson.

I want to try this lesson once again! If I can do, I would focus repeating and how to teach new words.

I had many improvement, but Ｉ enjoyed teaching this lesson. Mr.Hall, thank you so much for giving me a good chance.

An analysis of my language learning experience

1) My most enjoyable language learning experience has been Conversation. Conversation is very fun for me. When I talk to someone, my brain works actively. Then I try to talk about something. I'm very glad to talk words.
Now I go to English conversation school. I know the fun of conversation in it.

2) My least enjoyable language learning experience has been Reading Silently. I usually translate from English into Japanese when I do so. When I read aloud, I can translate and understand more speedy than reading silently.

3) My most valuable language learning activity has been Rading Aloud and Repetition. I can memorize the sentences and understand the structure of sentence when I read aloud again and again. I think that Reading Aloud is very important, because reading aloud stimulates own ears and brain.

4) My least valuable language learning activity has been Translating. I think translating is good, but I have to have two way of thinking to improve my English skill. If it is possible, I have to have English thinking when I read English.

5) In general my language learning experience has been speaking, reading and listening. To improve my English skill I speak to many people and read aloud and listen English seriously. I want to touch at English as many times as possible.

6) What kind of influence do you think your language learning experience will have on your teaching?
　 If I teach students English, I use enjoyable activities. I think enjoyable activities are lively. I give them the chances of speaking. I have them repeat with gesture not to be boring.
