How much of the lesson was spent on the teacher using Teacher Talk, in
your opinion?

All the lessons because when teacher talk she asked them to repeat
and answer questions.

Why not?

Just the right, she uses different learning style like: showing picture
and video, asking questions and use a card words.
What do you think is an appropriate sequence of interaction patterns?
Its good because students are motivated and interaction with her
teacher.

appropriately?

is teach them new words.

you are interested in thinking about this subject more, consider the following reflection.
Reflection
Choose one of the following:
A.

Why is talk important?

for teachers? To explain the lesson for students and give for
them advice and instructions.
for learners? (Think about the What and How.) To answer the
questions and if they didnt understand and if they want
something.

B. Why is it important to think about using English for varied purposes in the
classroom? For example, not just for giving an example, but also for correcting,
for praising, for everyday uses, like asking for help, or asking to borrow
something?
