THE PRACTICE JOURNAL
Year 3 / Semester V Part I: The School and its Culture Semester V Teaching Practice was carried out in the Primary School number fifteen in Elbląg, the same school as in the previous semester.
Part II: Lessons Observed 1. Observation Task 1: Different Teaching Styles Summary of the lesson Subject: * The underground shopping mall Language points: * learning new vocabulary * information about Canada - population, capital, size, language Skills practiced: * listening * reading Stages of the lesson: * checking the homework * introduction to new topic * playing main text on the CD * exercises in connection with main text * summing up the lesson * giving the homework Questions The observation I made was during lesson with Class VI. There are 21 students (girls and boys), 2 were absent that day. They use the course book “New English Zone 3” written by Rob Nolasco and David Newbold. They have lessons three times a week which gives two hours and 15 minutes of English language a week. The teacher I was observing was the only teacher they have and he also taught them last year. With regard to class itself, the teacher underlined that they need extra attention because it is hard to keep discipline there and make them all focus on subject throughout the lesson. They use a course book and workbook “New English Zone 3” written by Rob Nolasco and David Newbold. They are now on the page 65 out of 90 which is according to the schedule. Although, in the teacher’s opinion the book has everything what necessary, he does use additional materials, e.g. projector which is connected to laptop with internet access (especially to support visualization during ‘cultural zone’ lessons – YouTube movies from the UK/USA). But the course book is the main source of material been used, it is written in
