Today’s class went pretty well. Last class, Alex pointed out that Sarah had less time on teaching grammar rules. So, Sarah offered to teach grammar rules more this time. I am glad to switch the position because I would like to improve on giving instructions to students. In this class, we did some adjustments compared we used to do. For example, I turned off the camera and muted myself when Sarah was teaching instead of both talking and interrupting each other. Sarah handled it pretty well, and I am so proud of her.

During the process of teaching in 60 minutes, we provide two videos of the conditional sentence related to zero and first conditional according to the rate of the whole class. For your information, we offered conditionals based on students’ requests. Sarah gave a clear explanation and assigned students to work as groups for practice. Students became more engaged under the instruction that we asked them to type into the chat box and call on them directly rather than ask for volunteers. Then, I lead students to review the adjective clause and how the relative pronouns work in the sentence.  It’s very nice I got students to ask questions, such as is it formal to use adjective clause in academic writing and what is the difference of the use between “which” and “that”. That is a good sign to show that students listened to me carefully. I felt extremely fantastic. After that, we played Kahoot. Students loved it, and some of them asked for having it again next class. As to closure activity, I asked students to create a sentence that we learned for today and provided examples. Students were actively trying their sentences into the chat box and went through altogether and assisted some corrections.

Overall, I feel that our adjustment is successful, and we know our students better. I think responding to students in the chat box while another teacher was teaching can help us to build a good rapport with our students. It’s significant to divide up our teaching part and role when delivering a class to students.
