A diagnostic class
is a method to determinate students ‘strengths and weakness in some topics also
to identify how much they know,
this might be evaluated through activities or quizzes. First exciting contact with
the kids’ class, their ages are 9 between 11 years some of them have an English
background but some other have not. We as a group used the diagnostic evaluation
method to know what our students know or do not therefore, our activity
consisted in give students a flash card with image in it that represent an action
verb for example a kid jumping so instructions
were; students will pass in front to class to make a mimic that represent the verb and the rest of the class will guess what the verb is. Students performed
very well even they did not know some verbs hence, what we learned was our students
needs to learn more about this topic actions
verbs. Our second activity was about
personal pronouns such as I, You, He, She, They, We, It, students had had to made
pair with the correct card like match them. At the end, we noticed that students know not
to much about personal pronounce even, activity was funny to kids, they needs
to learn about this important topic moreover, my classmates did some activities
as well and one of caught my attention was Wanda’s group perform that consisted
in teach the alphabet, their activity engaged students to participate because
they involved and played with them during the activity kids said the letter
while playing hot potato. To conclude first contact was interesting because makes
use of diagnostic method helped us and now we have an idea about students’ knowledge
in English.
Would you do the same for a diagnostic lesson Jacky?
