As I mentioned in my previous blog post, on Wednesday, May 6th, I completed two class observations. The second class I observed was Dr. Pollock's group 3A speaking class. For this class, Dr. Pollack had his students prepare for a role-play activity. Although his students were not able to go through with the role-play activity during the class I observed due to time constraints, I was still able to watch them prepare for the role-play. The premise of the role-play was that the students would be split into two groups and act as talk-show hosts interviewing a "celebrity" who was another person in class. One element of the activity was that they had to use the past continuous tense in posing some of their questions. I thought this was a great way to reinforce what they had learned in their grammar class that same day and was a fun, lighthearted, interactive way to engage the students with practice and experience.
