Today I observed a level 3 speaking course taught by Derrick Pollock. His class began with having each student introducing themselves to me to help build their skills. They said their name, where they are from and what their major is. His next exercise built upon past lessons. The students were given a question where they were meant to use the 2nd conditional. After this, the class focused on what it takes to make a presentation. One of the main questions was how to create a presentation and what types of tools should be used. Some of the main ideas were creating an outline, adding creativity, and adding personality. A majority of this class was student lead and Derrick would walk around the class and monitor how they were doing. I enjoyed this level of English, it really felt like there was good back and forth discussion between the students and the teacher. Something that I did think about however, is how to deal with students who misbehave or who affect the class as a whole by cracking jokes.
