· Teacher talk and student interaction
2. Write a “field note” observation account of the topic as it can be observed in the videos:
_ Teachers allow students to participle.
_ Students are able to talk in the class.
_ Teachers ask students open questions which means they can express what the feel, see or interpret.
_ Teachers and students are able to interact easily with the same opportunities to talk into the classroom.
4. Interpret your field notes into an academic analysis of the observations.
According to what we can see in the video, “Teacher talk and students interaction” it is totally presented in this group. First of all, we can see classroom management in there which helps teachers to give instructions and students can understand at the same time. Therefore, teachers can allow students to participate in the class in order to practice speaking.
As a consequence, we can see that meanwhile we have interaction and a mutual participation into the class “teachers and students”, there is valuable lesson in which students can learn and understand in a interesting and entertaining way.
5. Formulate conclusions based on your observations and your analysis. Were you able to arrive at empirically valid and robust conclusions based on your observations? Explain why or why not?
What I can conclude with my observations and analysis already written. I can say that I meanwhile there is interaction into the classroom. Students participate more and they don’t get bored in the class. If we prepare interesting classes, in which you can play and even let students to think. They easily get interested in the class helping us as a teacher to have a better development on students learning. That is why I chose this micro-teaching because although the English level was a little advanced, students get very interested in the activity, example that can help us a lot working at school.

Assignment:
· Initiation – response – evaluation lesson sequences
3. Write a “field note” observation account of the topic as it can be observed in the videos:
_ Before the “micro teaching” They present the key words and the topic of the class.
_ During their lesson, they give the instruction in order to play and practice the vocabulary in a enthusiastic way.
_ Teacher invites students to come in front of the class.
_ Teacher gives example of the game.
_ Students play and get interesting on the game.
4. Interpret your field notes into an academic analysis of the observations.
In relation with what we can observe in the video, there is a step by step in order to do the activity in the class. First of all teachers give instruction, they give an example of how to play it and later students start working on that. Meanwhile teacher intrinsically can see and evaluate students’ knowledge.
5. Formulate conclusions based on your observations and your analysis. Were you able to arrive at empirically valid and robust conclusions based on your observations? Explain why or why not?
I totally valid and affirm that in this group there was Initiation, response and evaluation during their lesson because they follow and apply “step by step” in their lesson plan. Helping them to have an organized class that can work out well, and in which you can see the structure of a lesson because as we have been taught, you must have an initiation “introduction”, response or go to practice to finish with a closure or evaluation of the class with an activity, game, etc.
