The Small and The Mighty: Directive Feedback in Classroom Observation
I have to confess to you - I’m an ELT Methodologist. And I’m guilty of Directive Feedback.
How do I do it?
- I do not ask, I order
- I do not see another person, I’m the master
- I take no objections - I’m Omnipotent
Sounds like a bit of tyranny?
Exactly!
Let’s explore to what extent we do the same when giving feedback in our classroom.
Or, if we don’t, what do we do instead?
It is an exploratory workshop based on a case study and a set of ideas for all of you to explore in the course of the session.
