This was the first class that I had to teach, and it was so cool. I really like it because I was enjoying together with the students. Though they were students of advanced level, I think I could manage the class.Before and during the class, I was not nervous, I felt good. But the days before, I was so nervous because I was thinking about how to teach the class, about the topic because it was a little bit hard for me, and I was trying to fit some activities for the grammar notes.Personally, I really liked the warm-up which introduced the new topic, and the last activity in which students put in practice what they have learned during the class and during the previous levels. I noticed that my students enjoyed with the activities and that made me feel good.What I did not like was the grammar and I think it was not so good. I must have been more prepared with the topic.I liked that the students were paying attention to me, and they were participating during the whole class. To be my first class in the teaching practice, I think it is good and acceptable, but it is not complete good, I think I can give more and I'll try to do my best for the next class... =) See you in the next entry!! ^_^
Congratulation Mingrid...
ReplyDeleteIt's good to know you liked your first experience as a teacher.
I think the best way to teach a class is when you enjoy what you are doing. Remember that your attitude toward students is what makes the difference between a good or bad class.
Congratulations Mingrid! Even though I think all of us made a good job and next time we are going to do it better!! yeahhhhh!!!! I like your blog!!!! :=)
ReplyDeleteThe first experience is always the hardest, but that is the purpose of this subject; we need to acquire experience to teach and to improve the talents we already have.
ReplyDeleteIngrid,
ReplyDeleteIt is ok to be a little nervous. Just remember that we always have to prepare our classes; no matter how experienced we are, we have to be prepared to face any new situations in our classroom. I think you did a good job and will improve in every class if you listen to the teachers and are able to accept your mistakes.
Congrats!!
