 I observed Felicia Ciappetta’s grammar class on Monday, July 10^th. The group level was 3C, and the topic of the day was infinitives. Professor Ciappetta introduced the topic in an implicit manner; she asked the question: “In your country, how do people feel about the rich? Why or why not?” and then students had five minutes to discuss the topic with a partner. Students also participated in a group activity in which they had to ask each other the questions: “what do you plan to do this week?” and “what have you learned from your parents or grandparents?” The teacher was constantly reminding students the purpose of the activity, and helping them by providing positive feedback on the whiteboard. I learned the value of introducing a topic in a communicative way that motivates students to interact.
