My second teaching experience!!!

Well, my second teaching experience was so nice. We began with a warm-up that was so amusing. I felt more confidence this time. I really liked the part in which students were producing the target language in a pair work activity. They were very excited in the oral exercises even though they had some difficulties to do it. They asked me for help and I felt nice because I could help them. Students showed a positive attitude in each of the activities. I loved to see their enthusiasm and it inspired me so much. On the contrary, I had to bring an example of a famous person from my country and I didn`t bring an attractive one for the students. I realized that they didn`t like it because it was about an old fashioned man. About the aids, I used a recorded report that helped students to practice their listening skills. They were very focused on it and trying to get the information. All the students worked on the class activities. They were paying attention and practicing the target language. I really felt satisfied for my second teaching experience and I learned key points for improving my classes.
After this class, I know that I have to make a better job the next time. I always have to look for examples that catch students’ attention and interest. I have to bring updated examples. Also, I have to double check some grammar explanations. Well, I think that each teaching experience is going to help me to be a good facilitator. I definitely enjoy my second teaching experience!!!

  1. Hey my dear friend. It's nice to see how well you are working in your teaching practicum. Never stop doing the best of you. try to transmit confidence to the students and they'll participate a lot. What you say is important. your purpose must be not only to become a nice teacher, but also a facilitator to guide the students to a better learning process.
    VERY GOOD JOB TEACHER EEEEERRRRRRRRRCYY!!!!!!!

  2. Hi friend i enjoy reading your post because i could learn something from it! I like that you implemented activities in which all kind of learners are involved because we as teachers must pay attention to all our students. I also liked that you are honest at saying that your students did not enjoy the example you brought because it was old fashioned for them. sometimes we forget that when teaching the most important ones are the students and not the teachers. Nice work!!!
