Group Report
This group of 5th Year C are really well organized to work and they show respect when their peers speak. In general they are active during the activities proposed by the teacher and take turns, raising their hands and waiting for the teacher to call them, to deliver their contributions.
The students are encouraged by their teacher to answer in the appropiate way. However, some of them are a little shy to use L2 and so they use a low tone of voice. The teacher always give them positive feedback and she does not need to change her tone of voice as there are not misbehabiours during her lessons.
The level of knowledge of the language is false beginners. I am really surprised by the students´ knowledge of vocabulary and structures which they can apply in different contexts. The teacher works with a communicative approach and most of the written activites are developed in their folders during the lessons.
