You don?t know?? without giving the students examples and further explanation what kind of an answer he is expecting to get because there are many types of modal auxiliary verbs and he is looking for a specific type - during the worksheet activities, the teacher is sitting (or reading a book) - after checking the answers the teacher crumples the paper (with answers) - the teacher does not provide enough examples - students appear to be uninterested 2nd demo class: - better structure of the lesson (engage: greeting, names, game; study: eliciting, activities of matching, pronunciation drills, worksheets; activate: drawing and repeating what they have learnt) - teacher uses gestures and miming, is smiling - teacher provides students with many examples, gives clear instructions - teacher uses drawings and pictures; demonstration method - teacher uses pair-work as well - students participate From these two demo classes I?ve learnt what to do and what to avoid in order to have a good class
