Well, I was very nervous. As practitioner, I had never been in the advanced level. I began the class with some explanations about the difference between vacation, holyday and day off. After, we did a warm-up called “the onion ring”. It was nice, but it took me too much time. Then, I pasted some questions on the board. The students had to discuss them in groups. All of them were participating in the oral exercise. After, I gave each group a sheet of bond paper and a marker. The students had to make a list of kinds of things that they thought might spoil a day at the beach. Then, some of the students told me: “it´s time to go home teacher” when she told me that I realized that it was time to finish the class!!! Imagine!!! I just covered the half of the lesson plan that I had to develop in that day. I was worry because I could not finish all the activities that I had planned.
Well, I learned a lot of things from my first class in this level. Some of them are:
*All of the tutors are different. In this time, my tutor asks me to do a lesson plan per each class. It is nice because I realize the responsibilities of being a teacher.
*I have to save time in class. If I notice that the students work slow, I have to make a little pressure in the development of the activities.
*I have to write an agenda. In each class, I have to write an agenda on the board. This is going to help me for informing the students what activities we are going to develop in the whole class.
Well, it was a nice experience. Honestly, I was very nervous, but then I felt nice. The better thing is that I learned a lot.
