It's time to change!

I am thinking about my teaching method this week.  How many times do I using turn taking, open display questions, and scaffolding etc.  I always think my class is pretty obstructive.  I am only one person talking to the students, they are just listening.  I know it is wrong way to teach...

I got some idea what is real interactivity even students don't understand English.  Tom's bottle activity and Connie's card game was very interesting to me.  Even Tom spoke different language, I got the meaning of what he was saying.  He said "Who's bottle is it?" I guess.
I think that they always curious about what I am saying, what is the best English lesson for them?

Direct answering is the best, but it is not correct way.  I am thinking of scaffolding.
To explain Octopus is that octo means 8, the sea animal has eight arms like that.

I am thinking about the way explain vocabularies, students don't have much schema in their mind.
It is very hard group than adult or University level student.
I believe that foundation is the most difficult level.

I am thinking more about interactivity using the most meaningful English vocabularies.

Yes, it's  time to change!!!

Week3: Module1 reflection

I started to think about TTT during my lesson.  What types of students' turn taking I'm using?
Constructive or obstructive? 
How can I answer student questions to avoid direct answers. 
Am I interrupt students' dialogue or chances to speak?
Right! Let's use scaffolding, this is right!
I usually corrected their errors as much as I can, sometime I feel like that I am a Human English dictionary.
My elementary students are usually asking me meanings of words, they don't know exactly how to use a dictionary, even they can't memorize the meanings of the words. Explain again.
This type of CI makes students very boring and no attention from students.  I can play a game all the time to make class interesting. 
This is my dilemma in my class.

week 2 warm-up

I am thinking about how can I improve my teaching more effectively using the terms learned from STG class.
It was quite difficult to apply the techniques, I realized that I am still using my own teaching habit.
I started to analyzed my lesson video to correct my own proficiency problems as well. I never think about the way.

My T talks are quite monologic and constructive. I attempted students are involved as much as they can, however CI is very limited because of their language proficiency. 
I usually asked many of closed, display, and eliciting types of questions.
I never tried high & lower level questions type in my class.

I am teaching my elementary kids traditional way some part of my lesson.
Reading comprehension and answering multiple questions, this is the most standard way to prepare a test/quiz.

I hope that my students get high score for a quiz / level test.  This way is very effective way to get the score, most parents or students are demanding the high score.

I feel like Korea has two types English.
Test English (reading, grammar, vocabulary) and Communicative English (essay writing, speaking, presentation). 
Students are stressed too much to follow two different types. 

I am still thinking how can I solve this matter?
