Lesson Observation of Maria Niinikoski 13.03.2014

Today I have visited  the school Seminaarin koulu, where I attended the lesson of English teacher of Maria Niinikoski. During the lesson, the teacher closely have interacted with students. She permanently uses different kind of pedagogical tools, such individual survey, writing, listening, reading. Using dialogical method on the lesson, have allowed students to interact with their teacher. The teacher doesn't use such pedagogical method as group work, I think, because number of students is very big (approximately 25 students),  and she, probably, considers, that this method not effective for her grade. Opposite, I'd use group work, because this method helps to develop skills of teamwork, students feel themselves more comfortable and self-confident. Moreover, they acquire habits of self-dependent thinking and study. During the learning session, the teacher basically use traditional methods, as question-response, Listening and, sometimes, game's elements. The teacher tries to motivate her students by praise and support of all of students. Theoretical contents of teacher's study materials have been connected with environment of children. During the lesson the teacher tryed to ask questions, which related of daily life of children.
