Ellie Sims CO#3

Date: 8/22/18
Level: Level 4A
Location: CIES building Room 312
Instructor: Hunter Pelt

The class opened up with an exercise that asked students to read a row of similar sounding words and then they had to pick out the word that had a different pronunciation. The exercise was a good evaluation of the students' pronunciation skills and helped them see the difference in little words. I thought that it was a good activity and the students were really involved in it. The instructor corrected the students and helped them realize on the board what the pronunciation sounded like, allowing the students to visualize what so say. I thought it was a great way for the students to connect the written words with the way they speak. Next they went on to presentations. The instructor gave very helpful feedback to the students while helping them work on their fluidity as they presented. The students were really engaged in speaking English while they presented and actively asked questions to the other students. Each student had a PowerPoint they wrote and elaborated their topic. The class was a good experience to see the way that advanced students handled their English and the teaching styles that should be approached when teaching them, which is constant nit-picking and helping them with pronunciation and understanding how to fluidly speak English without stumbling too much. The class was very informative.
