Gagne's nine events of instruction


GAIN ATTENTION: the teachers have the students attention by saying " now we will play a game". And games are always percieved as enjoyable and not didactic. Also, that she will give chocolates to the winners motivates students very much.

IDENTIFY OBJECTIVE\INFORMING LEARNERS OF THE OBJECTIVE:She explained and clarified what the students will do in detail.

RECALL PRIOR LEARNING\STIMULATING RECALL OF PRIOR LEARNING: She has thought the topic beforehand, so she gives an example and says in which stiuation the students use them(for comparison).

PRESENT THE SITIMULUS: As she didn't introduce a new topic she didn't present the new content.

PROVIDING LEARNER GUIDANCE: In order to avoid misunderstandings, she showed how the game would work herself at first. When the students are shown how to do it, they will feel more comfortable.

ELICITING PERFORMANCE: after the game finished, the teacher wanted the students to use the things that they had written on the board in a sentence.

PROVIDING FEEDBACK: When a student makes a mistake whle forming sentence she corrects it immediately, and the student repeats after her.

ASSESSING PERFORMANCE: she doesn't apply a test or something like that, but she uses some words and phrases such as "good job" and "good!"

ENHANCE RETENTION\ TRANSFER: as the students made practice and us them in sentences, they get comprehensible input and that will help them to acquire the rule.

I think she is a qualified teacher and when the students have fun, she has fun: this is very important for a teacher. she knows what she is doing.
