Reflecting on one of my recent classes, I can see that several of the learning types from the Conversational Framework naturally appeared in my teaching.

For acquisition, I first introduced the key concept of the lesson and explained the core ideas students needed to understand. After that, I managed discussion by asking students questions and asking them to share their thoughts or examples. This helped me see how well they understood the topic and allowed them to learn from each other’s perspectives.

I also used practice by giving short exercises so students could apply what they had just learned. When possible, I let them work in pairs, which created collaboration and made students more confident to try solving problems together. At the end of the lesson, I often asked students to explain an answer, summarize the idea, or demonstrate their understanding, which relates to production.

This combination worked quite well because students were more active and engaged rather than just listening passively. However, I think I could include more inquiry in the future by allowing students to explore questions or investigate ideas on their own before I explain the answer. Doing this would make the learning process more student-centered and encourage deeper thinking.
