Flexible Learning
I had attended two classes for teaching observation's on 29th and 30th april of Foundation studies. These classes were Time Management and ESOL
.
Methods and by the Teacher.Strateby Used
In the Time Management class, there were 24 students. The room was appropriate for study.and the sitting arrangement was according to the situation. All the students were sit in the three groups. Lighting and heating system was good. First of all teacher wrote the topic of stress on the whiteboard. She asks some questions to related to the stress topic. Then she gave the topic Effect of Stress to the students. Students discuss the topic with each other in their groups. In the mean time teacher asks the questions regarding the topic from the students to envolve them into the study. There was diversity of age, gender, language and even nationality among the students. She understood the diversity and taught them according to their level. She used whiteboard to write everything. She even tried to attract the attention of that students also, who were not taking interest in the study.She asking the students to gave examples from their real life and then wrote all the key points on the whiteboard to encourage the students for more answers.
In the ESOL class, there was 17 students in the class.The sitting arrangement was in U-shape and lighting and heating was proper. The teacher used different methods of teaching according to the topics.She uses whiteboard to write the topic and then she gave sheets for taking test. In her class, there was very diversity among the students. there was diversity of age, languages, nationality also because students were from different countries and english was second language for them. But even she taught them all basics things very well so that they could understand every things. She used powerpoints, slides,whiteboard, worksheets according to topics. In this way she used different flexible methods of teaching according to the situation. She gave stress to teach the difficult words meaning and even if there was any problem to the student she gave examples from the real- life. She encourages the students to read the paragraphs to check their vocabulary.
In different classes, I saw teachers were very flexible during their teaching and they used different styles and methods according to the topics. So that students can easily understand and remember the topics.
Why the Methods were flexible?
These teacher used different methods according to their topics so that students can easy understand the topic. There was a lot of diversity among the students. There was diversity in age, gender, languages, nationality , culture and even countries also. But the teacher was fully prepared to teach them according to their levels. So that students took interest in the topics and their teaching methods. Different methods like whiteboard, powerpoint, slides, worksheets were used to teach them. Teacher used the flexible VARK methods means audio,video,reading and kinesthetic to teach them in a better way.
What I Learnt from them?
I learnt how i can use different methods while teaching different subjects and topics. Teacher should prepare before going to the classroom, about the topic and even the diversity of the students. I observed two different classes, in these classes different teacher's were teach different topics, even in the different ways.There was flexibility in teaching methods and even teaching styles. In the first class, teacher used more whiteboard and discussion method. But in the second class, teacher was flexible and she used powerpoint, slides, whiteboard, worksheets and she gave the homework also according to their topics and subjects.I learnt that i will also use flexible methods and strategies in my future teaching and even in teaching pratice.

Randeep this is a comprehensive description of the class you observed. The teachers were being flexible, as you say, by using a number of different strategies to teach the students. The groups of students were diverse as you say.
Can you think of any other strategies the teachers could have used to capture the interest of the students in the topic?
I saw some students in the Time Management Class was very careless and even they were not giving their proper attention towards the study and in the mean time they were doing chat on the facebook. Nodought teacher was asking the questions from them. She can use these ipod to gave the example of advance technology which is the one cause of increasing stress day by day.As stress is the main topic of that class. In this way, she can attract the attention of the students in the topics.The other way is to give them some homework related to the topic which was teach in the classroom. so that they become more attentive in the classroom.
