One of my Lessons at the Department of ELT


One of my Lessons at the Department of ELT

            For about six months, I have been studying at Yeditepe University at the department of English Language Teaching.
Today’s date is 22 March, 2012 and now I am in the lesson of the Survey of English Literature. Except for me, there are seven students and a teacher in the classroom. The teachers’ name is Nina and she is a native speaker, too. Nina wears casual clothes such as a pair of dungarees and a shirt. When I look at the environment of the classroom, I can see a board, a picture of Atatürk above it and a plan which shows the floor where my class is stated. Also, there is only one technological device which is called projector and the color of the walls is ice blue. What is more, all students have their own desks and these desks are placed randomly. At the beginning of the lesson, the teacher explains us the mid-term date, asks about what we did last week and talks about today’s topic. Of course, the topic is about one of the writers’ novel which is called Pamela. When she is talking about Pamela which was written by Samuel Richardson, she uses her notes to mention the most important points of it. Moreover, she is standing in front of the board and using her hands while speaking. After giving some information about the novel, she wants us to read the first two pages of it and to highlight the sentences. When we start to do so, there is a big silence in the classroom. Furthermore, I want to say that even though Nina is a native speaker, the way she speaks is not fast.      
            In my opinion, first of all, the environment of the classroom is very simple and this is suitable for us in the view of not taking our attraction. Then, there is no seating arrangement but I think it is not very important for the students who are at least 19 year old. Lastly, as far as I see, the way the teacher teaches is not only good but also clear and I am not getting bored during her lesson.
