Teaching reflection:
During the teaching of this lesson, I observed a few areas that could be improved. Firstly, I noticed that some students struggled to fully understand the video due to the language barrier. To improve comprehension, I could consider providing English subtitles or an accompanying transcript for the video. This way, students can read along while watching to enhance their understanding.
Additionally, while the video effectively provided information about tsunamis, it did not specifically address the effects or impacts of tsunamis. To further enhance the students' understanding of the topic, I could incorporate additional resources, such as images or real-life stories, that illustrate the devastating consequences of tsunamis. This would help students develop a deeper appreciation and empathy for those affected by such natural disasters.
Furthermore, I observed that some students struggled to recall and use the key vocabulary and grammar structures from the unit during the discussion and exercises. To address this issue, I could allocate more time for vocabulary and grammar revision activities before diving into the video content. This would help ensure that students have a solid foundation of the necessary language skills to effectively comprehend and discuss the video topic.
In conclusion, while the video served as a valuable resource for providing information about tsunamis, there are areas for improvement in terms of comprehension support and ensuring students can effectively apply the learned vocabulary and grammar. By incorporating these changes, I believe the lesson can be even more engaging and impactful for the students.
