The teacher started class by writing the day’s tasks on the board. I could see how telling students what the plan is for the class could be helpful. The teacher can reference the list and try to stay on pace with completing the lesson as planned, and the students can reference the list and know what to anticipate during the lesson. Allowing students to see the tasks for the class before class starts could help them feel involved in the progression of the classroom activities. By being transparent with students about the lesson plan, students can potentially more actively engage with the lesson. After writing the tasks on the board, the teacher asked the students about their weekend. She asked, “How many students spoke English over the weekend?” The class then talked about their weekends and who they spoke English with. Some of the students said they talked to sales people while shopping and another student said he talked to his American roommate. He said his roommate was complaining about school, which lead the class to discuss making small talk with people. This discussion transitioned well into the next fluency activity. I think spending time asking students about their weekends and how they used English outside of class engages students in a personal way.
