Course: Japanese Listening 2

Used app: Video Conference on DingTalk, Several slides of Powerpoint were used only on my computer display. 17 slides for 1-2session, 10 slides for 3-4 session. These PPT slides show me the scripts of listening materials and have embedded mp3 files so that made it easy for me to play the audio.

Numbers of Students: 27

–  24 students typed his/her attendance on BBS. Three seemed to come late.

Students’ Responses:

– Attendance Check : 25 students typed his/her attendance on BBS. One came late.

– There were two incidents in which a student didn’t answer to my calling

Teaching:

1-2 session: Redo Exercise III and IV of the section 23 in textbook.

New teaching; Exercise I of the section 24

3-4 session: Exercise II was skipped. Exercise III was done to learn “tari-tari construction”, and Exercise IV that was a story telling was listened to

Homework Assignment:

– No homework was assigned.

Issues and Problems:

– Due to the heavy work load, I changed my teaching style from PPT slideshow to video conference. This was the first time for me to use video conference for the class. So I did not make it well. I got some problems to be improved in this new style.

– It needs some consideration how to check the students attendance more exactly.
