this episode is the third in a series which records the conversations that my students and i have in class, around the microteaching sessions that i've designed to be part of their postgraduate teacher-training course.
this time, we were only able to capture the few minutes immediately following-on from the end of the microteaching session - the bulk of the ensuing discussion was not recorded, for which i apologise. my oversight was especially regrettable because this particular microteaching session was one of the best instances of teaching that i have seen. it not only employed explicit constructivist principles, but it made use of realia as well, to demonstrate abstract concepts.
episode sixteen is still worth your time to download, at only 4.2 MB, because i've tried to show how this very skilled teacher addressed the issue of bridging gaps in learners' geographical expertise.
