The videos in this unit were helpful to see what a difference the teacher can make when they have the correct attitude and technique. The teachers mistakes that were made in the first video appeared to make the students very anxious and confused. I also felt the same way and was wondering "why?" when he engaged students in an example or activity that he had used. In that first video, there were lots of open ended questions with little structure or clear knowledge of what was being studied. Also, there were very few explanations presented in his lesson to help people stay with him in the lesson. This shows me how clear, concise and simple one must be in making a lesson understandable and easy to follow for any level language learner. In the second video, the positive attitude that the teacher conveyed, and props or examples to engage students helped students participate and learn while having fun. I feel it made their Activate stage of the lesson less intimidating. At the end of the class, students were able to use the language point with less stress involved, which to me is a great success.
