Here Below you can check out the feedback (for one of our units) of one of the 16.000 students that last year took an online course with ITTT!
This unit showcased two video lessons that show the same teacher presenting a grammar lesson in an English language classroom, but are contrasting in some manner like the teacher’s attitude to the students, the student’s attitude towards the teacher, student participation, the teacher’s voice and the teacher’s instructions and explanations.
I can draw from the two demonstrations that the attitude that the teacher comes into class with has a profound effect on the success of the lesson. A teacher who has a positive and engaging attitude can motivate students to participate and boost their confidence. On the other hand, a teacher who is not would leave the students uninterested and inactive throughout the lesson. One way to build a better rapport with the students is to learn the students’ names and involving all of them in the lesson. How students comprehend the concept of the lesson depends on how the teacher uses his voice (clarity, complexity, speed etc.) and how he provides sufficient explanations and instructions. Giving prompts, using flashcards and demonstrating the activity are effective ways to boost the students’ understanding of the lesson.
