Lesson Study

Lesson Study is a new classroom-based system to consolidate and improve lesson plans and teaching performance that was created in Japan. Basically, a group of teachers get together to observe and analyse how the class of one teacher develops. Later on, they have a meeting and discuss ways to arouse, generate and stimulate students’ interest towards the subject.

This method has been applied in Australian public schools reaching great results due to the fact that a group of teachers think better than one single teacher. The group of teachers give feedback to each other so they get a better performance.

Finally, I can state that this method can also be applied in our Ecuadorian educational system to improve teaching process in all the subjects not just in the English classroom. I guess this also will create a better environment among teachers to reach one goal, which is changing students mind.
