Observation Form 2
For the things you observed, place a check. Please explain further about the checked item
directly below the particular section. Provide overall comments and reflections at the end.
Explain: This was a Turkish language class and there were middle school students in the
classroom. Most of the students were actively engaged and participated throughout the class
activities. But I saw that to teach Turkish in America is a little bit hard, especially to motivate the
students for a foreign language like Turkish that they cannot use in their daily life. So some of
the students were off task.
Explain: Lecturing was the first part of the class. After then the teacher asked questions about
what he lectured, while he was monitoring the groups. And to make it fun he added some
games and made a competition with Kahoot.
Explain: The teacher, while lecturing and making the class fun he especially used computer and
projector. He was ready for the class with his audio-visual educational materials.
TYPE OF STUDENT GROUPING:
Explain: During the lecture time the students were in a whole group. But when they were making
dialogues and playing Kahoot, small groups were done.
Explain: All the materials were ready before the class. During the lecturing teacher used some
audio, powerpoint and books. The teacher also used technology like playing Kahoot. They wrote
the words, phrases and sentences on their journal. Worksheet part was for the assessment.
MANAGEMENT/DISCIPLINE:
Explain: Since this was not a major subject, to keep the students on task was a little bit hard.
Especially positive reinforcement and encouragement of students worked better.
This was a Turkish language class for 7th graders. There were a teacher, twenty-two students and me in the
classroom. Only the teacher was conducting the class. I saw that education is all motivation. To teach
another language beside English is very difficult in America. After that if they are not using it and do not
need it in their daily life, to concentrate the students is getting harder.
But in this class mostly the students were engaged by the topic and the class activities. Because the topic
and the class activities were made rich and fun by Mr. Puskulluoglu. The Turkish candy was the most
motivational part for the students.
After all, the lesson was effective and productive. Making dialogues and performing them was the good
part: Hear, See and Do. These all three steps were done to make the learn a language. Most of the
students participated. I liked the class and learn how to manage a class. I appreciate Mr. Puskulluoglu
about his help and acceptance me to the class.
