This section is based on my observation to the teacher in Mengrai School. I observed some classes, they are Matthayom 1, 2, and 4. Matthayom 1 equals to grade 7 Matthayom 2 equals to grade 8, and Matthayom 4 equals to grade 10. For Matthayom 1, I observed kru Am’s class and for Matthayom 2 and 4, I observed kru Took’s classes. Below are some points I summed up after observation.
- Teaching Media
Generally, teaching media used in the class I observed was like audio and the projector. The teacher did not use many medias but only focus on the activity itself. The teacher put more concern to the activity that was demanded students to practice more.
- Learning Materials
The teacher commonly used the projector to display the text or the material of the lesson and sometimes used the audio to play on the pronunciation of unfamiliar words. Therefore, the teacher used textbook for the learning. In order to enrich the learning, the teacher modified the textbook. Usually, the teacher print the material and modify it into several activities with not only one skill, but can be more than one skill. For example, the teacher used the passage in the textbook and then asked the students to read it and find new vocabularies and then practice to speak it later.
- Assessment
The teacher usually assessed the students right after she gave the students the material. By chance, I observed the students when they were on final exam, so that the teacher gave them the evaluation form where they need to fulfill all of the test for the last week and it can be done when they come to the class only. The teacher made the form into several tests which included their task during the lesson of that time and the task they were doing while I was observing them. In that assessment, the students were asked to read and practice their speaking in front of the teacher.
According to the curriculum, here I attached the assessment used in Mengrai School.
