Techer student - observation - expression
|
Hello to everyone from sunny Sweden.
Can you help me with an expression, please?
What is the appropriate expression in English for "observe the lessons"? I mean when a teacher/ teacher student participates in lessons in reguard to observe the lessons, teacher �s work/students � work to gain experience. In swedish we say "auskultera".
Thank you very much in advance.
Have a nice day.

Maybe you are referring to "student-teaching".. A student-teacher observes classes as part of his/her teaching training. Let�s see what the rest of the people say! Enjoy your sunny day! Carolina |

Hi, the translation I got is, "sit in on a class as a student teacher". So to observe a teacher�s class / lesson would be correct.
Enjoy. |

When I was working toward CELTA, we called that "lesson observation".

Hi yanroko1,
If the student-teacher only observes a lesson delivered by another teacher, and take notes about what happens around: teacher �s instructions and demonstrations, and students � reactions. It is called - as we studied it - "Passive Observation | Passive Observer"
If the student-teacher plans, delivers the lesson and takes notes during the lesson it would be "Active Observation | Active Observer"
There is another type where the student-teacher prepares the lesson plan and another teacher will deliver it for the student-teacher to take notes. However, I can �t remember what it is called.

The correct term is a �lesson observation �, more commonly called obs for short.

I should also say that CPD here in the Uk calls for us to have obs all of the time. So, students, teachers, whatever, whoever observing would still be a lesson observation. Check Stephen Reece and Ian Walker for a British bible on teaching and learning.
