Reflection 3:

Chose one of the following:

A. Why is talk important? For teachers? For learners? (Think about the What and How)

Teachers have long understood the importance of using language to transmit ideas,
when teacher talk with student is built the correct sentence for student. At school l
observe that many student have mistaken but it teachers fix sentence so that student
know that he have to fix his sentence, she focus to let student talk and answer the
questions in front of students to improve the child English that is Enhance self-
confidence of the student. In class room teachers speak more and students speak less
that is effect the student, student will not learn more and they will have less knowledge
because maybe teacher don’t push them to talk or they feel shy to talk. At school I ask
them the way that the use to push student to talk. Most of them after the centre let
student to explain what they did and how they divide the work that is how they push the
child. Some teachers ask student questions and some materials to show student how we
have to find the answers, For example I ask student to use plastic leaves to subtract two
numbers, student take cards and show student how they can find the answers. I learn
that to choose every day student and let them explain or talk about what they learn
during this lesson, I think that I will use this way next teaching practice.
