When I taught students at Royal Education Centre (REC), I took notes of the reading passage in the government textbook and created clouds filled with the main facts in different colors and stuck them on the wall. Then students went around and led most of the activities by themselves after I gave instructions.

After an early breakfast at a teacher’s house, we went to the 7 am meeting where the villagers were sitting under the trees near the monastery.
One of teachers from the village frequently phoned me to warn that I should come earlier as the sea waves were bigger in the evening.
After a teacher-led but pretty calm and successful lesson, Van and I gave feedback to our second trainee. The next day we returned to a disappointing scene.
I watched a class on TV. It was about mood and was mainly led by the teacher. She talked to the students in English first and then translated it into Myanmar language. In my perspective, when a teacher constantly leads the activities, there is less student involvement and they soon become quiet and fed up.
Our teacher trainee said that he previously thought that teaching was easy and straightforward. Now, he worries each day that he hasn’t planned the lesson correctly and he worries that he isn’t doing a good job of teaching.
With the grade 9 students, if the lesson is engaging, they are motivated to learn. They like talking to me and they are quick to copy phrases I use. They have been presented with a foreigner in their village, and their English textbook has essentially come to life in front of their eyes.
