Every Wednesday my 4ESO group is divided into two smaller groups and they attend the lesson at the computers room. By doing that, the teacher is able to work better with the students' skills, especially the listening and the speaking.
Today it was all about a "DVD Movie Rentals" listening. The students had to go to Randall's Lab website and then find out the listening. Once they've listened to it, there were some activities to be done: a multiple-choice and short-answer questions, some mixed-up sentences, vocabulary matching and a text completion quiz. During this period of time, the teacher had to leave the class for some minutes because there weren't enough headphones for everybody, so she went to look for more. Well, I had no problems because they were doing the activities. I continued observing them as well as the way they worked, and I also tried to sort out any problems and questions that they had regarding the activities.
When the teacher came back, she asked the students what was the listening about, so they can talk a little bit and use the vocabulary they've been working on the activities they've just made. The thing is that most of them understood it perfecly but were a little ashamed of having to talk in English... that was why the teacher had to insist a lot on the questions she made to the students. Eventually, some of them made up their mind and explained the listening in their own words.
There were 10 minutes left, that meant that they still had to time to learn more... vocabulary for instance! It was time for doing some crosswords related to countries.
