Today I observed Dr. Rios Grammar class. It was interesting to see his teaching style and learn how to go about teaching grammar. Ensuring that higher-level students understand grammar rules by pointing out the main points in each lesson seemed to work for the students. Also, every step of the way he made sure the students were involved from having them read the example sentences to getting into groups to write their own examples.

    I didn't have Dr. Rios for any of my three observations. But I did grammar observation and Dr. Pollock was energetic and speedy with the lesson. There was no group work, instead all students were called at some points of the lecture as they covered phrasal verbs.

Today I met with Marcia. She talked about how she is working on her applications for different graduate schools. She talked about how she applied to some schools in South Korea and other schools in Canada. She mentioned how it is exhausting to work on all these applications. I then started discussing with her how I always wanted to have a deep southern accent. She was shocked to hear this since she has always tried to overcome her accent in English. I talked to her about how it makes you sound different and adds diversity. After that, we ended up talking about the TEFL internship program and how she thinks Dr. Rios is a really good teacher. She thinks that his ability to understand where the students are coming from really makes him an effective teacher.
