Practice Teaching Reflection

First of all, we decided how we teach "This(That) is a~.","Is this(that) a~?", "Yes, it is."or"No, it's not." We thought we want to get the students understand easily, so we were planned to use a ball and　a Ganchan(a doll).

Fast, we greet everyone. "Good afternoon everyone!" "How are you?"--- "Fine.","So-so.","Bad." Next, we review "This" and "That" by using a ball and a Ganchan.
And we explain ”This is a ball(a Ganchan)." "Is this a ball(a Ganchan)?"by using a ball and a Ganchan, and we get them to repeat after us. "That is a ball(a Ganchan)." "Is that a ball(a Ganchan)?"---We play the demonstration---A teacher throws a ball(a Ganchan) to other teacher, and the teacher catches it, the teacher who throw it says,"That", "Is that a ball(Ganchan)?". the teacher who catch it says"Yes, it is."or "No, it's not."
After that, we get the students to repeat after us. And they practice with partner.
Next, we learn the new words,"park", "school", and "hospital". We get them to repeat after us, and we put the pictures of these words on the blackboard. By the words, they practice with partner, "Is that a park(school, hospital)?"and "Yes, it is."or"No, it's not.". Finally, we get them to repeat after us, the sentences of "This" and "That".

I think introduction of new material part and practice part were the most successful. We tried to teach simple so that the people who haven't study English ever could understand easily. We
could almost achieve the aim by using a ball and a Ganchan, I think.

I didn't get the students to practice "pronunciation" so much. I should have taught them how to move the mouth and lips when they said words and sentences in the lesson, because some students didn't say words perfectly. I think they felt confused and worried. For students, negative feeling like those can prevent them from good learning language.

If I taught it again, I would teach how to pronounce words. I would also take in a game using "this" and "that". By the game, students could learn the new words and sentences
with fun.
