4th entry!!!

Today, I want to share the experience of my last class in the first period of teaching in the Intensive Intermediate English I. It was a hard class because the teacher told me to prepare the grammar notes and to develop all the activities I could because she had little time to complete the unit, so I had to teach the grammar notes in an understandable and attractive way, but at the same time in a fast way. Thanks God, the students got easily the ideas and I was asking them to create some sentences for knowing if they had really understood.

During the activities, I tried to apply the CCQ which was very successful because I noticed that the students were understanding me, and also some of them were able to speak in order to explain others what they had to do in each activity. Moreover, the teacher told me that the CCQ was a good idea because students paid more attention when I was explaining the directions.

I liked this class because I had to study the topic, which was a little tricky to understand, and looked for more information in order to further enrich my knowledge. I think teachers must be well prepared in order to answer the students’ possible questions about the topics. In some extent, I tried to push the students to work fast and to make some activities orally for them to have more practice with the new topic.

In general, I liked this class because students were working hard, and they have understood the topic. Besides, I had more confidence and I felt sure about what I was teaching.
