I agree that it sounds different from the lessons I have experienced in America and from what we are taught in our methods classes. I actually ran into a similar style of teaching when observing English lessons in Austria. What I found to be the reason for this style of teaching was that the teacher was not very confident or comfortable with English. Because the teacher themselves did not have much experience with English, they did not feel comfortable deviating from the book or creating creative lesson plans. Do you think this could have been a factor in your classroom? This is why I think we, as native English speakers, are so valuable to our schools. Having a native speaker teach English makes such a big difference in the classroom, especially when the teacher is not to confident with English themselves.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08132661101569341526noreply@blogger.com
