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!!!
Ercy jaja the teacher also gave me that feedback about the names of the students. I really tried to learn all the names but It was very hard because they are too many. Also because some of the students are like shy or I dont know but they dont like to participate jajaj. Good luck I know you can do it, you will see that the group is really a challenge but you will learn a lot from them.
