How are the teacher’s attire, body language and gestures affecting the students learning? What’s your
evidence?

The teachers attire had a positive impact to the students. They look so professional hence the
students really perceived them as someone whom they can learn something. In addition, their body
language and gestures are quite subtle yet commanding that’s why the students are more comfortable to
them.

Does the teacher establish empathetic or sympathetic rapport with students? How is it affecting students
learning?

The teachers especially teacher Faith projected less empathy to the students. I haven’t heard any
empathetic nor sympathetic words like “be careful” especially during the wrap up activity. Teacher Faith
has tendencies to lose patience every time the students can’t get the instruction.
