Date/Time: 6/22/2026; 11:00 a.m.; Dr. Angel Ríos

Topic/Skill: Reading

Teacher’s Presentation: Dr. Ríos started class by reminding students of their presentations. Students must bring an article to class and teach for a whole class period. Dr. Ríos handed out the presentation schedule and the handout to prepare for the presentation. Each student will present on a section of “A Study on the Korean Culture (History) Education for Foreign Learners”.

Classroom Management: Dr. Ríos answered questions and gave students the presentation schedule. The class went over the rubric.

Materials: Power Point, worksheet and an episcope.

Student Participation: Students were given an article, “Many Foreign Students are Friendless in the USA”. Each student read a section of the article out loud. They then discussed the article and shared their personal experiences. They had to analyze the article and were given a worksheet to analyze the article. The focus was on comprehension. Dissecting the article.

Feedback Provided: The teacher provided detailed feedback on comprehension for each student. He asked students if they understood certain vocabulary such as “metropolitan” and “thus”. Dr. Dr. Ríos shared anecdotes about foreign student’s experiences and asked them to share their own experiences.

Lesson(s) on teaching you learned: The way Dr. Ríos provided detailed feedback on students’ questions regarding the presentation assignment and the in-class article, which I thought was excellent and will strive to do myself. Dr. Ríos made the class fun by sharing anecdotes about his experiences and asking students about their own. I learned a lot about teaching and making teaching relaxed and fun from Dr. Ríos.
