Welcome back to Teach English Now.
In the last video, we discussed Robert Gagne's first three events of instruction
and discussed the need to gain attention, create clear objectives and
stimulate the recall of prior learning.
While these three events can happen at anytime,
they are often presented at the beginning of a lesson plan.
With that in mind, let's turn our attention to a few different teachers and
see how they begin a classroom lesson.
Let's start with a little background.
These teachers are all instructors of high intermediate
high school aged ESL students.
As you watch these teachers, look for the three events of instruction and
pay attention to what you like and dislike.
I also want to introduce you to Jack P.
Newscaster and Jill Q.
Knowsalot who'll give you some live commentary.
They will help to break down the instruction and
provide their own analysis.
Jack and Jill?
>> Thanks, Dr. Dixon.
Glad to provide the learner some instant feedback.
I'm sure I'll tell you all that I know.
>> Yes, Jack, and I'm sure that won't take long.
Hi, I'm Jill.
And together, we will do our best to give you insights
that should help clarify each teaching moment.
Shall we begin, here's teacher one.
