Patterns for classroom Interaction

In this exercise we analyze and answer questions of a a teacher interacting with his /her class.

Teacher questioning 16.4

1. The action that predominates in this course interaction is that the teacher is active and students fairly equally active (TS)

2.The teacher activity predominates over that of the students students only respond to questioning.

3. The chosen interaction pattern of this teacher was not very good because she was trying to get feedback from the students  by discussing vocabulary learned but she started with "yes" and "no" questioning and that discourages motivation in the class ,specially when you start that way,However when she showed pictures and talked about the activities they realized before ,the kids showed enthusiasm.
