I found the two videos used in comparison to be quite helpful. This example drove the point that the teacher's attitude is one of the single most important aspects of an effective lesson. The use of the engage phase in the second lesson not only gave the student's confidence that carried over into the rest of the lesson, but it provided an atmosphere wherein the students felt safe to make an effort and participate.I have learnt the various ways to do the activating stage of a lesson with regards to more complicated tenses such as present perfect, present perfect continuous and past perfect. The different explanations for the usage of these tenses is important to know especially when explaining the times lines of when the actions occurred. It is important to anticipate the common mistakes that most non-native speakers may make.
