Visiting Har-Ber High School

   September 13, 2017      

This short visiting to the school helped us to see that many things will happen during a class. An interesting point was how teachers had arranged their classrooms. For example, students were sitting in groups of three students in all the five classrooms that we visited. However, I also noticed that many classrrom, students have a translator, so students did not worry about using dictionary to understand what their teachers were explaining.   Also,  students were priced with a candy for answering. I think candy will be changed instead they will get points or stars.

    Good observations, Carlos!

    You noticed that Ss often sat in groups, and this week we talked about making groups. Did you think that the Ss at Har-Ber utilized the groups well? Or, perhaps a better question might be this: Do you think the Ts at Her-Ber used the groups well? Why and/or why not?

    What did you think of the translators? I honestly haven't seen that kind of assistance in most classrooms in the past, so that was a little surprising to me. I still don't know what I think about it. Obviously, it would assist communication, especially if behavior is a problem, but I wonder if it hurts the Ss' motivation to learn and use English. Actually, the question I wonder about most right now is whether there were rules about how or when the translators could and couldn't translate. The next time I go to Har-Ber, I think I need to ask that Q.

    Why would you change the candy prize?
