Teaching Reflection
Today’s lesson aimed to help students master the “by + V-ing” structure and discuss learning methods. Here’s a reflection on its strengths, weaknesses, and improvements:
Strengths
1. Structured Procedure: The lesson followed a logical flow—discussion → role-play → grammar presentation → practice → production. This scaffolding helped students build knowledge step by step.
2. Engaging Role-Play: The 2d role-play, combined with video listening and repetition, enhanced students’ pronunciation and contextual understanding of “by” for talking about learning challenges and advice.
3. Clear Grammar Explanation: The multi-usage illustration of “by” (method, transportation, time, place, passive voice) was clear, with examples that students could easily relate to.
Weaknesses
1. Practice Gaps: Some students struggled to create “by + V-ing” sentences independently in 4a/4b. More guided practice (e.g., shared writing examples) was needed before independent work.
2. Time Management: The “Grammar Presentation” segment ran longer than planned, reducing time for the “Production” stage (4c survey). Many pairs couldn’t fully finish or share their work.
3. Uneven Participation: Active students dominated discussions, while quieter students had fewer opportunities to speak.
Improvements for Future Lessons
1. Enhance Guided Practice: Add more controlled exercises (e.g., fill-in-the-blanks with “by + V-ing”) to ensure all students grasp the structure before independent tasks.
2. Refine Time Allocation: Set stricter time limits for each section. Simplify less essential explanations to reserve more time for speaking practice.
3. Boost Inclusive Participation: Use structured pair/group tasks (e.g., assigned roles: “interviewer” vs. “respondent” in 4c) to encourage quieter students to contribute.
Overall, the lesson met most objectives but requires adjustments in pacing and student engagement to be more effective.
