Our Presentation of Teaching Grammar

I really appreciate the efforts and cooperation of our group members: Irene*2, Shirley, Iris, and me. ^_^ We met 3 times totally for discussing how we would like to present grammar instruction in the class. Our design of a grammar lesson involves the following consideration: an inductive way to present the grammar rules, integrating four skills of language, cooperation of learning environment, and meaningful practice of grammar rules. To be honest, our presentation is not bad in general. Both "presentors" are experienced teachers though they were quite nervous on the stage.

As Alice had mentioned in class, our presentation still had some parts needed to be improved. For example, the flow can be better if there's no grouping problem. Our design of sentence in the practice activity had better relate to the topic of our lesson, that is, frequency adverbs, and more meaningful to students as well. Students might become more interested in the lesson by asking some questions about their daily lives. As for summary part, Iris and me mentioned the key points of the reading because we thought it's not necessary to cover all of them. What surpriced me is that I didn't notice my hand, the one taking the handout, shaking seriously as I was talking in front of the class. I think I was too nervous to notice that! ^__________^
