Classroom Speaking Observation Insights

This document contains an observation table summarizing reasons students spoke during a 2/3 grade English language lesson. It shows the frequency of different types of speaking for three students - repeating the teacher, answering questions, asking questions, and informal speaking. It also includes the teacher's reflections on the lesson, noting that repeating the teacher was most common and teacher questions least common. The teacher felt they spoke for too long (15 minutes) and that some Arabic use was appropriate to aid understanding.
