TASK FOUR
FOCUS ON THE TEACHER´S LANGUAGE
INTRODUCTION
For this task, six aspects related to my language in the classroom will be analyzed according to the criteria related to the function of each. The aspects will be grammar, style, vocabulary, discourse analysis, and function which are equally important in communicating language in the classroom and each has a core impact on the way teaching is carried out. Video footage from the classroom lesson will be analyzed in full detail.
I. CLASSROOM BACKGROUND
For this task I will analyze a class of 26 sixth grade students in a public elementary school in Dolores Hidalgo who are between 11-12 years old. This is a beginner level class since English exposure has been limited and this is their second year with me. Students really like to learn English and have an active approach on their learning. During this observation I introduced them to the simple past, and the following are my observations related my speaking.
II. LANGUAGE CHARATERISTICS AND ANALYSIS
SUCCESSFUL POINTS

Vocabulary
Since I teach primary learners the word choice I make in my teaching is very challenging because their comprehension level is limited. In the PNEIB program we are instructed to use as much visual material as possible to make
