2nd entry!!

This class was better than the first one because I felt better when teaching and also because my students had a better attitude.... I think they could understand when I was trying to explain the activities, but I have to take into account that they are students for basic level, and I have to give less explanation because they get loss easily hehe, and I didn't care about that in this class, but for the next one I will. I enjoyed with the students during the activities because when students understand me and have fun and I do too, and I think that is a good step for me as a future teacher. I know I have to learn much more, but I'm trying to do my best and something that I will keep in mind is that I have to sleep well the previous day before teaching because that is going to help me to have a better attitude toward the class and my students too.... I had to teach grammar again, but in this time I had a better day, and students could understand me because when I asked them, they answered me in a correct form. For me, the hard part of teaching is making the lesson plan and when students ask me new words that I don't know hehe but I'm learning and I don't have to give up easily.... Thanks classmates for your support!!! =)

1rst entry!!

Hello friends!!



This is my first entry for the 3rd period, I’m glad because I almost finish teaching and thanks God the experience is not so bad, I have enjoyed many classes. In this opportunity, I’m teaching basic, I have 28 students and 5 of them didn’t go to my class. I was nervous because it was my first class with that group, and I didn’t know anything about the students and I wanted to hear my teacher’s expectations about my class. Because I was so nervous, I didn’t show too much enthusiasm and that affect my class because my students were distracted even though they are not active students as the ones I had in my previous group. Talking about the methodology, I think I did a good job because in the warm-up and I think some of them enjoyed it, but others not because they got late into the classroom. I had to explain the grammar notes, and I tried to do it in a new form, and I think they didn’t notice that I was explaining the grammar notes.


For next class, I should be more prepared and also I should be more enthusiastic for my students to enjoy my class, so do I because in that way they learn more.

Technology of the Future!!

How far will we get???

Technology is an absolute need we cannot escape from. Let's just say, it has a very big role in most aspects of our lives. In other words, it answers most of Mankind problems. Across centuries technology evolves. The importance of technology is aiming for comfort of use in whichever form it is. It always directs for easiness in life. Technology has inspired scientists to make improvements from time to time through their invented tools and devices for us to use, just to make our lives easier. We always tend to make one step ahead. Technology can help not just with the present but also approximating the future. That's why I want you to watch the next video.... =)



Teaching!!

Hello friends!!

Today, I want to share my experience in my last class of the second period. Let me tell you that this was a wonderful experience; I dare to say that this was the best class that I have taught because I felt really connected with my students and all of them were working more than what I expected. Since they warm-up I made, students were having fun at the same time that they were practicing the simple past; it was a free activity because they had to say their own stories, so they put in practice what they have learned. The next activity was controlled, and at the beginning I thought they were not going to do it, but they did it very well and with a good attitude. To tell truth, it was a funny class for all the activities I made, and I was happy because they were active. Before starting the class, I felt very badly because I was sick, and I was thinking that I had to give my best because I couldn’t be with that attitude in the class. Thanks God, everything was nice, and I achieved my goal for that class. On the other hand, I don’t know my feedback about the class, so I don’t know if my tutor liked my class. But the most important is that I felt good, and I really liked that experienced, and that kind of experience is what motivates me to go ahead.

Thank you friends for supporting me, it has helped me a lot!!!



Teaching!!!

Hello friends!!

I’m here again in order to tell you about my class. This was my third class and I planned to video-tape it. I started a little bit late but it was because of the teacher because he was late and I had to wait for him. I started with the warm-up and I had a little hard time when explaining because they didn’t get the idea, but later when I performed it, they could understand. Then, I started the other activities and all of them were a review of the last unit, so I had to make free practice. In one moment of the class, I felt kind of bored because I was just monitoring the students, and I felt that I was not doing anything! But I think I have to let students work by themselves. I was not nervous, but I was kind of tired because I didn’t sleep well the previous night. I have to consider that factor for the next class hehehe. I have planned many activities, but I didn’t finish them, so I gave the material to the teacher for him to use it. I think I did a good job, but I’m not sure because I haven’t heard about the teacher’s feedback, and also because I felt kind of bored during the class, but I think that can be because of the free practice, but anyway, I already finish the class, and I think it was acceptable!! =)

2 Entry!!

Hello, my friends!!!

I want to tell you about my second class in basic. As you know, this is a new experience because the basic group is totally different from the advanced one, but it’s nice to work with them. Something that really calls my attention is that there are many boys and just a few girls, and almost all the time, girls are the majority. This class was really nice for me, I think everything was as I expected. I came on time and I made a different seating arrangement, then I prepared all the material and I was waiting just for the teacher. I started the class late, but it was not my fault because they teacher got late. For this class, I was not nervous and I felt really comfortable.  I made my warm-up and the teacher told me that he liked it and it was awesome! Then, started with the last part of the grammar notes and exercises, and I was happy because I was seeing that students were working and they were also enjoying with the activities. I made them to work individually, in pairs, and also with the whole class. When the class was in the middle, I made a parenthesis and I asked them some riddles for them to enjoy; the first one that I said just a few of them could understand it, but to the others, they paid more attention and they were laughing about them. With the last activity, I tried to mix all the things they have studied, daily routines, time telling, adverbs of frequency, prepositions, etc. I brought a die in order to play with it, and students liked it. The teacher told me to finish all the activities that I have prepared, and they last the two classes. It was nice because I didn’t feel pressure for teaching, nervous or something else. I think, this was a wonderful experience because I felt a connection among the students and me. I think these experiences are the ones that I’m going to remember forever!!! =)

1rst Entry!!

Hi, people!!! This is my entry for my first class.... let me tell you that this class was kind of extrange because some things were awful and other really good...

Well, the point is that I think in general, this was not my day!  First of all, I had some difficulties to get to the classroom and that made me feel bad and nervous. =( I got 10 minutes late to classroom, and I felt really ashamed! The worst part was that the teacher had already started the class with the warm-up. The transition between him and I was kind of hard and strange at the same time. Even, I didn't know if I had to start the class with a warm-up or not because he had already done it. But, I decided to avoid it and continue with the rest of my class. But my bad luck didn't end there because I was going to teach the grammar with a song, and when I noticed that cd-player didn't have an input for usb, so I couldn't perfom the activity. Thanks God, I had one activity that was nice to teach grammar, and I used it though students didn't know that it was for grammar. I felt good because students didn't know the incident of the cd-player, also because they liked the activity that I performed instead. Afther that, I made other activities with flashcards and other materials, and I felt good because I heard some comments of the students that they were enjoying the activity, also that they had liked my flashcards =) even the teacher told me at the end that he had liked my flashcards. I think this group is very enthusiastic; therefore, I have to take advantage of that in order to have a nice class and students don't get bored. At the end, I got a good grade, and at least the activities that I performed were nice.
