  1. WELCOME! Hi out there! I’m Ben! Today’s Talk: Critical Reflective Teaching and the “Survey’s Role”

  2. Critical Reflective Teaching? • This is not tied to any particular teaching method, per se. • It is, though, designed to help teachers learn about their own teaching styles and methods by reviewing classroom observations, videotaping, or any means that records the teaching environment. • Surveys are a part of this review and provide teachers input from students to reflect upon. This can be done electronically or by hand.

  3. Surveys help • They provide immediate electronic feedback that is archived, when done online. • They can define your learning environment more precisely, if needed. • They can provide motivation for the learner, through the use of technology. • They can be used to develop research in your area of expertise.

  4. The dilemma of language • The Humanities and language learning = • A BIG HOLE! • Survey = ROPE

  5. My findings Why didn’t I choose PHYSICS!

  6. Taking it too far • TEFL teachers work in the “soft sciences” • Students who learn English may need TOEFL. • Noam Chomsky and Stephen Crashen opened up a can worms. • There are no answers in this field; only creative theories and jargon that are open to endless discussion. • Is there a doctor in the house? How does that brain really work??? • Language learning is just that!

  7. Survey Example: My class • Link to my current class: • http://www.quia.com/sv/57141.html

  8. In sum… • Critical reflective teaching and surveys give us crucial feedback from students to reflect upon • Win –win situation for both teacher and learner. This can provide motivation for all parties concerned • Last but not least English is big business, but let’s remember we’re not educated in the hard sciences and have a little fun darn it!
