TEACHING /LEARNING PUZZLES
Dear FLE 404 PRACTICE TEACHING members,
In this post, you need to describe TWO puzzling teaching/learning situations that you have experienced in the practice teaching school in detail, which you find hard to understand and to take action against (an event which you do not know what to do). It can be concerned with some aspects of your own practice teaching practice, the learning process of the students in your practice teaching classes, the mentor teachers' classroom practice, their attitudes towards students,their philosophy of teaching,the student behaviour in class, or your own questions about how to act in a certain classroom-related situation. You need to do this task individually.You also need to make some suggestions for TWO OF YOUR CLASSMATES' PUZZLES.
