Transcribing again

Day 9, 7 April 2011
Transcribing again! To my surprise the students have a completely different perspective of the classroom practices. In the entire talk, they said they feel quite satisfied with the way I monitor them and provide them feedback on written tasks. Although, they did mention that I don’t provide much feedback during speaking lessons. These students are the ones who usually came forward to get feedback and may be that is one reason why they seem so satisfied. They also think that I do know how each student is performing as I monitor them from the front of the room. They feel that the best thing about having classes in the auditorium is that the teacher can easily see the students from the front of the room. All I can think of right now is ‘appearance and reality’…Shakespeare’s greatest theme.
