September 24th at 1pm, I entered Vicky Golen's Speaking class as an observer. Vicky explained to me that it was a Muslim holiday, so the class would be a little different. Kyle Kaminski's class joined up with Vicky's class. The topic of the day was eating etiquette at a restaurant in the United States. They devided the class into 3 groups, Kyle sat with one group, Vicky with the other and I sat with the 3rd group. Each group read from the book and then discussed different scenarios in. Kyle, Vicky and I helped with each one of our groups. Giving them different scenarios to think about and helping when they needed it. Afterwards, we discussed each groups answers as a class. Vicky gave feedback and had a very positive attitude. The class was lively and the materials used were the textbook and the board, for writing down vocabulary. I learned that group activities make for a great classroom ambiance and help students immensely with their communicative speaking skills!
