The class that I went to observe was a pre-university course. Basically, this program was designed for those students who were seeking to perfect and enhance their English language skills to become successful BRAC University students. The goal of this program is to assist the students to become active and independent learners, critical thinkers, responsible and thoughtful adults and most importantly successful university students.
Teaching topic:
The respectable teacher taught how to write “Topic Sentence”. He had followed direct method along with the PPP-presentation, practice and production for this lesson. According to direct method his classroom instruction was conducted exclusively in the target language. He conducted oral teaching before writing activities. The Questions were asked and students had to give answer using full sentences. Students had self-corrected themselves. Lastly, they produce paragraph writing.
Teaching strength: The respectable teacher had naturally taught how to write topic sentence by using target language. He was very sensitive in time
