Section C: Overall ratings of the lesson <include summaries of the objectives and contents of the
lesson>
For this lesson teacher is using tape recorder. Students are listening and then repeating the
words. The teacher asks if they find unfamiliar words. Also the teacher is repeating some words that
are harder for pronunciation and she is asking them to do the same in order to pronounce them better.
The teacher is writing words from the book on the blackboard and she is translating the words
from English to Bulgarian. Now the students should read the text loud one bye one, sentence by
sentence and then they are translating the sentence into Bulgarian. When the students dont know the
answer to the asked question or reply incorrectly the teacher corrects them by repeating the right
answer. Sometimes if the mistake is more common she needs to repeat a phrase or a word several
times and get the children to repeat it themselves.
I can see on their faces enjoinment when they are reading.
Next thing they are learning is cardinal numbers and every student is writing one cardinal number
on the blackboard; they learn what these numbers mean, how to spell and pronounce them. Most of
the time they are speaking in their target language, but when they want to ask that they dont
understand they are speaking in Bulgarian.
Section D: Overall assessment of the quality of the lesson <is this a good lesson, why?>
I believe that this lesson can be said to be very good because all of the students were active.
The students as a whole are very enthusiastic to take part in the activities and each one of them wants
to stand out of the others So, it can be said that our presence in class contributed to their willingness to
listen carefully to the teacher and take parts in all of the activities done in class. The teacher stimulates
them with her patient and wants her students to learn everything which is said in class.
Section E: Recommendation <how can the efficacy of the lesson be improved?>
The efficacy of the lesson was on a very high level. Mrs. Petkova is a very experienced
teacher, her lessons are very organized and I learn lots of new things and
teaching techniques that I can use in my practice with my classes. This students
use the target language according to their level.
