Well, I began another semester. In this time, I started teaching in technical English. It was my first experience with this group. I had some doubts about how can I teach in this group. Some of my classmates told me that it was like basic level. Also, they told me that I didn´t have to bring difficult activities. So, I went to the class and it was nice. It is a group of girls. We began with a warm-up in which each of the students was going to tell her complete name and how she likes to be called. This activity helped me to know their names and get confidence. Then, I gave some grammar explanations about the verb be. After that, I gave to the students a page with some exercises about the verb be. All of them worked on that. They showed interest for learning English. Then, we checked the activity in an oral form.
One of the activities that I liked was an oral activity. It was easy. I wrote on the board the sentences that they were going to use. All of the students participated and enjoyed it. On the other hand, this activity took me too much time because it was a large group and I lose the control of some of them. I finished my time class and I stayed with them until the class finished. The students presented an interesting homework. It was about a video conversation. I really liked it. I noticed that my tutor teacher is really creative with the homework assignments.
Some of my class observations are:
I always have to correct the students.
I have to prepare activities that don´t take me
so much time.
I have to prepare activities that catch the
students attention.
Well, the next time I´m going to do my best. I learned a lot and I’m going to continue learning.
Time is our worst enemy when we are teaching...

I´m agree with yennichris!!
ReplyDeleteWhen there are many students is kind of hard to work with all of them at the same time. I hope next time you can say IT WAS BETTER!!!
