1) We hoped students would practice how to use “how much” and “how old”.
2) We gave a demonstration of shopping to show the students the way of pair work. In the demo, we repeated “how mush” and “how old” to let the studentbe used to the sentences.
3) Yes. I think most of the students understood our activity because they did pair work without our help.
4) We use pair work of “shopping” . Students had chances of using “how old” and “how much” through they became a customer or a shop assistant by turns.
5) I couldn’t pay enough attention to bad students,so some students might not be able to concentrate the class.
6) I felt teacher’s job is very hard!!!!

1) We hoped students would prctice how to use “ how much~? ” and “ how old~? ”.
2) We demonstrated how to use ” how much ~? ” and “how old~? ” doing shopping.
3) I think they could understand our demonstration because they did pair work without problem.
4) It was shopping. A customer asks a clerk about goods using ” how old~?” and ” how much~?”.
5) We did our class hard but we couldn’t pay attention to bad students, so some students didn’t try pair work.
6) I think it is our issue that we couldn’t manage the class. Please tell us about the solution of it.

A voice was big and was easy to hear it. It was instructions only for English, but you used plain English and explained it clearly,
so students were able to understand contents of this class.
I thought very good. Teaching materials were made neatly,too.
Teacher can attention of students by they explain it behind. But, it may have been a little hard to look for students.
I think that teacher does it together halfway and promotes activity,when there were students who didn’t did a pair work is
one method.

先生と練習は長かったから、生徒は文法がよくわかりました。先生と練習は良かったと思います。でも、生徒は自分でもっと練習したほうがよかったです。生徒はもっと参加するために、多分もっとパーアワークが必要だった。

Thank you for your practice teaching. you two have clear voice, so I think it is very easy for students to listen to you.
You could have shorten the explanation of how to do pair work. I think students will get bored because they have to listen to your explanation for a long time. If you take time for students to practice more, they will learn more.
I don’t have confident opinion about how to deal with students with problem, but I can say you must not ignore them. It will be better than nothing to warn those students.

I think it was very good preparartions for the lesson. It went smoothly and I could understand the objective very well.
But I felt you were indifferent to us a little. You could walk around the class, so it is better more attention to the students who are both of bad or good students. I think to make a good class needs observation of not only bad students but also good them.

Tkank you for your good work.
You were walking around in the classroom and you called on someone. It was good .
But I was a student who want to take part in the class. So I wanted you to give me some opportunities to raise hand and speak voluntarily.

I’m sorry I couldn’t attend your class. But I watched your class on this page, so I’d like to comment.
Your voice was so clear. It is good point because students can understand what teacher say. And you showed teaching materials smoothly. I think you put time to good use.
How about speaking to bad students adequately? If they can understand what to do and how to use English, you ask them present. They might show enthusiasm from next class through confidence.

I think that there are 2 good point.
First, loud voice. If I sit in back seat, I can hear their voice. It is good point. this point is basically, but also it’s so important.
Next, walking around the class room. When students make pair to study, each teachers walk around the room to advise. this is good, too. Cuz teachers answer some questions students have as soon as possible.
But this class is not activity. So teacher makes students to be more busy.

Thank you for interesting class.
My part had been bad student, but you sometimes paid attention for us, so I was happy.But managing the class always is very difficult. So we must look around the class, and sometimes we must take care to do the students.
Also, you practiced and explained more and more,so we could understand the class’s goal. It is very important.
Moving in the class and doing device much more was good point, I thought.

I think your class is very good. You teach with loud voice, so students could hear instruction clearly.
I have a thing to ask you. You appointed a student to answer the question, not having them raise their hand. In this way, students always have attention to what teacher sais because they don’t know when and who is appointed. That’s nice idea. But teacher has no means to know their forwardness.
How do you grasp their forwardness in this class ? Please tell me if someone has good idea to this my question.

Thank you for your teaching!
I think your class attracted students, because your voice was clear and loud, and you had simple questions in introduction of the class. And it was a good point that you called on students who didn’t listent to the class. But I think you could let students raise their hands more voluntary.
I thought class management was so difficult and hard. Let’s think about it together from now on!

Thank you for your class!It was very interesting .
The activity “Shopping” was very enjoyable,but we needed more explanation.I think it was little hard to understand.
Anyway,I enjoyed very much.

This class was active because teachers led this class with many students. Students could join the class. I think it is very important. If teachers teach one-sidely, students will feel boring. I was asked “How much was your glasses?” by Ukey. So I could join the class. It was interactive.
And teachers were cheerful! As a teacher, this thing is essential.
