My third class in intermediate!!

My third class in intermediate!!
This was my third class in intermediate. We began with a warm-up that was so funny. Something that I liked from this class was that most of the students were working in the exercises. They made questions and worked together. They were attracted for the visual aids that I used. This time I didn´t have problems with talkative people in class. That was nice for me. The majority of them were participating in class. For the contrary, there were some students that didn´t want to work. Another bad thing was that I began with writing activities in stead of speaking activities.
Well, the important things that I learn from this experience are:
First, I have to begin the activities following these steps; speaking, listening and writing.
Second, I have to push the students to work.
Third, I have to promote more participation for the ones that don´t like to work in class.
Finally, I like each teaching experience. Each of them teaches me new things.

My second class on intermediate!!

Well, this time, I wanted to know each student´s name. So, we began with a warm-up that helped me to know them. Then, I gave a brief explanation of a grammar note. I wanted to use a visual aid for that but I did not bring it. So, I did it in the traditional way. Something that I liked from this class was that most of the students participated and made questions in class. They were paying attention on the task. They were very interested on the topic. On the other hand, there was a group of five students that didn´t want to pay attention and they were noisy. I couldn´t lead with that, I made a few questions in order to involve them but they continued doing the same. When I realized that they didn´t want to be quiet, I continued working just with the other students. I felt bad because I couldn´t lead with that problem.
From this experience, I learn that I have to look for new and interesting ways for explaining grammar. I know that I can innovate that part of the lesson. Another thing that I learn is that I must to look for techniques that help me to lead with noisy groups in the class. I hope that the next class is going to be better!!

A new experience!!!!

This was a nice experience. It was a new group. We started the class with a funny warm up. All the students participated. I liked the way they work. I liked this group because they made a good atmosphere. They paid attention and made the request activities. It is a nice group. One of the activities that I really enjoyed was when Students had to make predictions to each one. I could see that they produced the target language very well and also they got fun. In the other hand, one of the observations that my tutor gave me was that before I started a class with a new group, I had to ask for their names. Another thing was that I could establish some rules for the class. Also, I had to demand more action from the students.
After this class, I learn that the first activity that I have to do in a new class is to ask students names. This is going to help me to generate confidence with them. Also, I learn that I don´t have to tell students about the classification of the activities that we are going to develop in class (eg. If it is going to be speaking, writing, reading). I just have to work on them. Another thing is that I always have to prepare extra material for the class. Well, I really learn a lot of things from this experience. Each experience is going to refine me as a teacher. I know I am going to learn a lot through this process!!!
