In this unit I was shown two videos of sample classes. In the first video the teacher makes a number of mistakes, which makes the lesson confusing, boring and the atmosphere of the lesson intimidating. The teacher's mistakes include: the teacher doesn't smile; he fails to involve the students equally; he explains the structure using grammar terms beyond students' comprehension and doesn't use different language to explain the structure even when the students don't respond; the teacher points at the students and doesn't learn all their names; he keeps saying that the language point of the leson is very easy which intimidates the students;and most importantly, his teacher talk time is way too high. In the second lesson the teacher's positive attitude, professionalism and resourcefulness creat a good atmosphere for learning and contribute to the hihg level of students' involvement.
