    The document summarizes a classroom observation of interactions in an English lesson. It notes that the predominant interaction was teacher-student, with no time spent on pair or group work. While appropriate for focusing on grammar and reading, this type of interaction does not align with national curriculum aims of developing communicative skills. The most productive activity for students was recognizing and explaining specific information from texts, though most just copied from the text.

    CLASSROOM OBSERVATION TASK 3: Interaction

    Observe the different interactions in each lesson and complete the table. Then answer the
    questions.

    What is the predominant type of interaction?


    The predominant type of interaction is Teacher-Student. Students do not do activities which
    require discussing or working in pairs or groups.

    Does it seem appropriate to the aims of the lesson?


    I think that this type of interaction is appropriate for the aims of the lesson since these are
    purely focused on grammar and reading comprehension. However, I believe that they do
    not match the aims of the national curriculum which aims to develop the communicative
    skills.
    In which interaction were the learners most productive?
    I would say that the most productive activity they have done so far is recognizing specific
    information in the texts they read and making sentences for explaining the information.
    Besides, most of them just preferred to copy what was on the text.
    Nevertheless, students usually share books when one of them has not brought it to the
    class, and do the activity in pairs, by always using their L1.

    Interaction pattern Amount of time spent

    Teacher whole class 50%

    Learners in pairs 0%

    Learners in groups 0%

    Learners working individually 40%

    Other 10%
