Reflect lesson plan;The beaches are disappearing

                   In this reason is about "Tourism and the Environment"  in lesson: “The beaches are disappearing”. The time required in this lesson is an hour per period. Because of in Thailand it have many beach and it importance to teach students to how can they save the beach.

                  From the lesson “The beaches are disappearing” teacher  has set the learning standard as the following; 1.1(4): Answer questions from listening to and reading sentences, dialogues and 1.2 (5): Speak and write to describe their own feelings and opinions about various matters, activities, experiences and news/incidents, as well as provide justifications appropriately. Terminal objectives: Students will be able to listen to the story and the conversation about the beach in Thailand. Moreover, she has set the enabling objective as follows: Students will be able to listen and answer questions from the story and the conversation about the beach in Thailand and student will be able to speak and write to describe their own feelings and opinions about the beach using expressing obligation. In the teaching steps, she introduces students about the new vocabulary, and then she lets students match the picture with the correct words. I think that it is a great idea to teach students the vocabulary by game. Moreover, her classroom language is quite good. Nevertheless, there are some mistakes that she can do it better if she improves it. The recording of the conversation relating to the lesson “The beaches are disappearing” represents of her enthusiasm in teacher, but she can do it better, if she native speakers in her audio recording.

                      “The beaches are disappearing” is one of good lessons to teach English with public mind, if teacher designs the goal and the content appropriately.  In addition, Nunthiya s’ teaching materials are very interesting, but in some activities need to be to developed to be the better ones. However, “The beaches are disappearing” is the lesson that enhances students to think the ways to take care the world and public mind to save the environment and help the others. At the end of lesson students can get both knowledge and morality.

                  Giving direction is student will meet in the real life. When students meet the foreigner the simple question is " Do you know where is it?". That provide the opportunity to students to begin the conversation to the other.     

                        Teacher started the lesson by greeting and ask some questions about giving direction. Then, Students were stimulated by asking questions that where do you often  go and why. After, students giving the answer,teacher wrote the answer onto the power point. For example:   a convenient shop: to buy things,   a swimming pool: to exercise,  a zoo: to enjoy looking at wild animals. Next, teacher choses the place near the school and  let the students gave direction to that place. Do you know what we will learn today? she asked. After that, students watched the video about asking for and giving direction. They had to listen to the audio and repeated after the audio. After listening the audio, teacher divided students into two groups (group A and group B) and gives conversation about asking and giving direction to the students. Then students in each group read aloud the given conversation. Then, teacher asked students to sit in pair and practiced asking for and giving directions with their partner by using the map. Next, teacher explained the preposition that used  to giving direction such as turn left, turn right, go straight, between, across from, opposite, next to, at the corner, etc. Before finishing the lesson, she summarized the contents again.

                        If teacher want good atmosphere in classroom, teacher's language should be developed and teacher should gain more self - confident. But the overall teaching seems very good.                                        

Reflect English lesson plan; Let go to Puket

In this lesson plan is related to Environment needed for life in lesson: “Let’s go to Phuket”. Lesson plan “Let’s go to Phuket” consists of aim, objectives, standards, evaluation, lesson plan outline, and rubric. In lesson plan outline consists of pre-task, task-cycle, and language focus.

               In the beginning, teacher introduces tourism attraction to the visitors.  Meanwhile the objectives by the end of this lesson, student will be able to ask and answer about tourist attraction and give direction to the tourist. Surely, these are beneficial goals for the students, but something is not well matched enough. Next, the teaching steps are interesting.And students are going to learn and attracts the students by asking the students to play the game related to the lesson. Afterwards, he catches students ‘attention by open the very interesting clip of Phuket tourism. There are effectives activities in his teaching, one of them is group discussion. Teacher asks students to sit in group and discuss concerning to the handout provided “Keeping Patong beach clean”, who, what, where, when and why.  In this time students have an opportunity to discuss together and Teacher walks around to encourage the students. Moreover, at the end of lesson, Teacher asks students to summarize the lesson together by using the question “What we have learnt today?” It seems a good lesson; however, there is something needed to be improved. For those things that needed to be improved are time management that is not appropriate with the activities, and the rubric organizing is not well matched with the content of the lesson and students’ task.

                It can be said that “Let’s go to Phuket” is an effective lesson if it is improved and developed appropriately. teacher's materials are very interesting, but in some activities like language focus is quite bored. even if, it can be improved by using teaching techniques that well matched with the contents. Last but not least, It can give students the lesson about the public mind and the way to protect the environment by cleaning Paton Beach. Not only the knowledge that students can receive from this lesson, but also the  morality by helping the others is a good thing for learners.
