"Got it!"

This post is from my third week. Actually, I want to give you some general information about the features of the students in the class prep B.
I have been together with them just for a couple of weeks but I have observed their attitudes towards English very carefully. They are really enthusiastic in classes. Most of them raise their hands when teacher wants them to do something. During reading activities, they want to read.  They like writing texts or dialogs and reading them aloud. Students generally don’t want to speak or comment on something in English classes. However, they are very assertive during speaking activities.
Underlying reasons for these students attitude is relevant with teacher’s teaching strategies and her manners. She always prompts him/her when a student talks about something. She ignores their simple pronunciation mistakes. If it is really necessary, she corrects him/her. She doesn’t sit all day. She has enough energy for her students. She walks around the class. She cares her students. She asks her grades one by one and gives feedback. She tries to keep them focused during the course.

Students are also aware of what is going on. They like the course, activities and style of their teacher. They like watching videos. They sometimes want to watch videos without subtitles. They find informal language interesting. I noticed that they use “Got it!” in their dialogs frequently :)
