Evaluation: | - By installing a hearing means in English, students had more chance to clearly understand the material. - By providing them with a subject that they are acquainted with, it enabled students to actively participate in class activities. |
Teacher Reflections: | Although competition is an indispensable element in today's society, I recognized that our students still need harmony and the help of others, especially their peers, in coping with academic hardships. Moreover, I will try to implant more group activities intermixed with individual activities. |
