Reflections on a skills lesson video

Find a skills lesson video from the internet (e.g., from the Teacher's tube) and upload it to our blog or provide us with the link to the video. Taking into consideration the nine events of instruction proposed by Gagne, try to identify the stages in the video, describe them and account for the learning theories underlying each stage.
To what extent do you think this skills lesson illustrate an example of an effective teaching sequence in your own perspective as a prospective teacher, considering the principles of the teaching /learning process and the learning theories that we have discussed in class?

Reflections on the Post-method Era (2)

1. To what extent and in what ways do you think your previous EFL teachers in Turkey reflect the characteristics of the post-method era? In what ways do you think they are different from the post-method era teachers?
2. To what extent and in what ways do you find yourself as a prospective post-method era teacher?
3.Describe a typical postmethod EFL student. In what ways do you think EFL students in Turkey are similar and different from the postmethod learner profile that you have described?

Reflections on the Post-method Era (1)

a) Taking into consideration the macro and micro strategies that are offered within the strategic framework for the L2 teaching in the post-method era (See Kumaravadivelu, 1994), please comment on which of these strategies do you think your previous EFL teachers put into practice? Also comment on to what extent and how effectively they implemented them.

b) How do you think of integrating the macro and microstrategies suggested by Kumaravadivelu (1994) into your own teaching as a prospective EFL teacher? Where would these strategies stand in your own teaching philosophy?

What are the possible challenges and obstacles concerning the integration of the macro and micro strategies in the EFL context?
