This is an essay about "After Class Reflection". Your comments would be appreciated.

The class on the whole was average in terms of learning and the duration seemed to last longer. Perhaps the listening component  was less interesting than other parts, so students were less motivated. In the phase of pre-listening, students took it quite positively. All students concentrated on the new words. However, during the second phase, students behaved less actively. They were not willing to answer questions due to a lack of motivation. Furthermore, they did not show enthusiasm when doing the whole listening-and-repeating activity. Fortunately, when asked questions, students acted more voluntarily during the latter part.

I noticed that i did a few things incorrectly. Firstly, I didn’t write on the blackboard. Secondly, I gave them too much time to discuss, so students seemed bored. I believe that next time, I should work on my time management of the activities provided and perhaps the structure and order of them. As far as I’m concerned, it is interaction that matters to teachers and students. Meanwhile, teachers are supposed to come up with better ways to arouse students’ enthusiasm.
