THE LAST ENTRY OF ALL!!!!

Hey people!! Hi!!!!. Hope everything is ok for you and your family. It is so great the way I feel that I can't describe it, but I will try to tell you how it was this last time I taught the group of Advanced I.
I enjoyed my practice as it was the first time I was teaching, I even also remember how it was, and this time I felt the same. I even was recorded to present the video, and the most beautiful thing is that everything went perfect, the students, the enviroment and the way I developed the lesson.

The lesson was "causative verbs", I guess it is an easy one, but it was difficult for them to use them and when to use them. Remember guys? "Let, get to, make and have" those are the CV. So I started the class with all the confidence of the world, and they got involved with the energy I was transmiting. They were participating and having fun at the same time. I also noticed my tutor very satisfied with the development of my class, and at the end I just gave thanks to them for being at my classes because they didn't miss any of them, so don't worry, you will see that in the video ;).

In the other hand I want to thank you all for commenting and for your feedback during this whole year of practice. It has been a pleasure for me to be here writing the last entry, and I take advantage to tell you that you've been a great group during this 5 years. Blessings people!!!.

My Second Entry (Third Period) Advanced I

Hey guys and girls, how are you?, hope you're doing good!. Let me tell you that I am happier than last week, why?, because I have improved the way I teach!!. Yes, it is great how I feel that it is hard to specify it. I will tell you how it was guys, so I expect your feedback please!.


I was assigned to teach "Past Modals", and again, I had to introduce the topic to the students. I was a big challenge for me because I did it twice in a row since I started with this group, but everything was ok. I tried to make them speak as much as possible, and they did, they were participating, telling me their opinions about a trip, which was the presentation of the past modals. Basically they enjoyed the class, and I could see the tutor very satisfied about my work.

It is great how it feels for a teacher that at the end of a class, your students start clapping. It feels oustanding!. So my advice for you people is to keep on moving with a smile in your face. Do not take this as a practice, but as a experience!. God bless you!!

My First Entry in Advanced I (Third Period)

Hey people!!, it feels great to be writing to you here again, and I'm doing it very happy because finally I'm starting the last period of practice. It feels great because now I realize how much I've traveled since the very beginning. It has been a lot of sacrifice, but thank God all of this is worth something!.

Today I started my first class in the Advanced I level, the group is great, they even seem to be interested in the major, so as in English as well. At the beginning I felt worried because I had to introduce a topic named "Passive Voice", Yes!, I know it is kind of difficult to explain that topic, but I did it!. I prepared myself and I developed some useful activities in order to reinforce what they saw in Intermediate II. It was great, all were participating, even though there are always some students who are shy because they feel afraid of being corrected. What I'm trying to improve is that!, in other words, to make those students be motivated, so that I transmit energy and I throw away the personal problems I have, so they notice my enthusiasm, and feel eager to learn.

In first place there is God, who has given me the strength to continue. I was afraid of teaching the passive voice, but now what I want is to teach more topics I havent taught!, yes, I feel happy. Bleesings!!!

My second entry (Intermediate II)

Hi people!! it is great to salute you again!! hope you're fine. To begin I want to tell you that I feel happy because I've improved a lot in my class!. I'm telling this because as I told you, the group I'm teaching is kind of complicated.

Everything went out as I expected, adn even though I didn't hahve a lot of time to prepare my class, I tried my best, and I succeeded. I colaborated with the teacher by giving them more practice about modals because the've already had the grammar part. 
They participated and they understood the topic a lot. 

On the contrary to my first class, this time I felt more comfortable, I was even smiling which is something I'm not accostumed to. In fact, a teacher needs that, so the students notice you confidence and therfore they participate.

I'm happy because I promised I was going to do better next class, and I did, I hope you guys get the same enthusiasm as I did. That helps a lot and makes you stronger to reach your objectives!!. Blessings!!!

My first entry (Intermediate I)

Hey guys! hope you're doing good!. First of all i want to thank you all for your patience, but finally, I'm here writing again another of my experiences in Teaching Practicum II.Let me tell you guys that I was eager to start because I had to do a lot of things about presentations, homework, etc. 

Anyway those things were not excuses, so I'm here to tell you how it was to be teaching this group.I was told to introduce the topic "Phrasal Verbs", and as you know, that topic is very important if we want to speak with fluency. I wanted to do it the way I liked, but I think it was not the correct way, even though they were participating.

 I knew that I was hesitating, but thank God I tried to get out of the problem. At the end they did a "fill in the blank" activity. and they did very well in the answers. I know that I have to improve my ways of teaching, and to do what the teacher wants me to do. 


Again, I want to thank you all for your patience, and I promise that next time you won't have to be waiting for a long time. Thanks guys, se you in next entry. Blessings!

My third teaching experience Advanced I

Hello guys and girls, let me give you my apologizes because it is kind of late that i'm posting my last teaching experience of the first period, but finally i'm here and I'm about to tell you how this last time was.

First I want to thank the group I taught because they were participating in all the activities I performed. It seemed they are where they are because of their capacity, and I had the oportunity to make friends there and they were telling me they really like English. I taught the reported speech in two classes, and even though it is not so easy to be responsible of such topic, I did my best and the tutor was happy about it.

The class was comfortable for me, and I could develop the knowledge I earned when I was in the three leves of English. Even though the students asked some questions that were difficult to answer, I used what I enjoy the most, I improvised :). 

I really like teaching, but at the same time I consider it a challenge, hope you guys do better in next period.  Let me share a picture that has the meaning of what a teacher means. 

Blessings!!!!

My 2nd Teaching Experience II Semester

Hello!! ladies and gentlemen, today I feel very happy because I finally did my 2nd teaching practice in advanced I, I was worried because I thought I was running out of time, but at the end I kept calm and I prepared myself better.

I am so excited because I improved my teaching this time. I taught about the reported speech, and I provided some practice that the students could easily solve due to the way I taught the topic. They were answering all the questions and solving all the excercises. I could notice that I was more comfortable this time than the previous one because I arrived on time, I could prepare the classroom the way I like, and I prepared the material as well.

I feel excited because I know that from now on I will develop my classes the way I always do, this means with confidence and believing in myself. Trying not to imitate others style!. Hope next time I'll do it better and I hope you guys take into consideration this experiences to learn and not as another subject of the major. 
Blessings!

My first class observation (ADVANCED ENGLISH I, II SEMESTER

It is a nice experience to be here writing again my experience in teaching a class. As a teacher it is nice to greet all the students and it seems this is going to be a nice experience. I have to admit that I’ve already taught this group in my previous experience in teaching practicum I. 

The lesson plan the teacher is using is about “Verb Patterns”, and I explained the different ways to form a verb in this case, verb+ing, verbn+object+infinitive, etc. 

In fact, this deals with grammar, and I guess you guys don't like this part of the teaching practice right?. To be honest I have to say that without grammar there's no sense of speaking the foreing language. I did well I guess, but I had some disadvantages with the time, I have to remind you guys that I come from Ahuachapan. 

Even though this is not an excuse, so I have to do it better next time, try to be on time with the best enthusiasm as the previous semester, this is barely starting, so keep on moving ;). Blessings!!

MY THIRD AND LAST ENTRY OF TP!!! (Advanced English II)

Hello ladies and gentlemen, finally!!, I did my last practice of this amazing subject and to be honest I enjoyed teaching people who are where I was some years ago. I had a lot of fun and I feel so glad I made it. I never thought about teaching a foreing language, but here I am, writing about what I've done during 6 months.

Let me tell you guys that in my last class I decided to give a present to the students, and I'm taling about cookies and candies!!, they obviously appreciated the time I used to teach a little bit fo what I know so far about English. Grammar, spelling, speaking, pronunciation and enthusiasm were involved together with practice about modals of speculation which is something I like!. In other words I love English, and I want you to think the same as I do.

There was a big help from teacher Walter, and let me tell you guys that I feel so proud of myself because in Unit 7 of the Advanced English book, the teacher was supossed to have the students practicing the topics that were on it. So my surprise was that I made the teacher's job because he was dealing with the TOIEC's activity.

I want to appreciate teacher Cristian and you guys for comenting on my experiences about teaching, God Bless You all!! and let me share a great and inspirational song to you guys!! Never give up!

My Second Advanced English II teaching experience.

Hello classmates, let me introduce to you my second teaching experience, in this case as you were told, in Advanced English II. I'd like to tell you that I'm doing a great job in advanced English, and the reason is because I am teaching exactly the topics I loved when I was taking this subject. The topics are compound nouns and complex sentences, and in this case I was told to divide the class in two parts, grammar and practice.

Everything was great because I had the oportunity to teach what I learned from previous classes, and I enjoyed the part when I had to introduce a new topic to the students because I was commanded by the teacher to make the whole unit mine. This means that I started a new topic they didn't know and the most outstanding thing was that they learned. I know you guys know how it feels when you see your students learning from you.

At this moment I think that I have to be proud of myself because I've reached a great level in the major. The same as you guys, we all are about to finish a become professionals, but always with our feet on the ground!!. Blessings!!

My First English Advance II Teaching Experience.

Hi ladies and gentlemen hope you're doing great, in this ocassion let me tell you about how I felt during my first teaching experience in an Advanced level. Everything went as I expected because I always said that teaching advanced learners makes your job easier, this means they already know about participation, enthusiasm and colaboration with the teacher. Those things help a lot to a teacher and let you feel comfortable when teaching your class.

At the beginning  I obviously felt nervous, but before the class started I took advantage of time an I started to have a short conversation with the teacher, that helped me a lot and I felt comoftable. I had the luck to teach "Complex Sentences" which is and easy topic in my opinion, and I could notice that they had already taken a short explanation about what they mean. Everyone was participating and that feels great, it means that I was doing a good job.

Let me tell you guys that I really like this group, maybe because they are very enthusiastic and they like to participate, I hope in next class to have the same luck as in the first one. Blessings!!

3rd Teaching experience

Hi guys!, hope you're doing good!. Let me tell you that I'm very satisfied because I already finished my three classes in the basic English level. I did a great job, and I know they learned what I explained. During my experience over there I could notice a lot of studentswho didn'tcare about learning, but with the help of a variety of activities we've learned throughtout the major, we now know that everything is worth if we have patience.

I made friends and also I had the help of the teacher who behaved very kind with me, I taught topics that I never thought to teach, especially the frequency adverbs. Everything was so good that I even received a clap in every class I taught hehe. I hope you guys are doing the same with your groups because they depend on you even if you don't notice.

It's great to say that I'm glad to tell my experiences to all of you guys. I expect your coments and I hope you have a wonderful week!. Blessings

My 2nd teaching experience

Hi guys!!, let me tell you that I'm so glad to be writing my second teaching experience because I did my best and this time I got good results. I taught the frequency adverbs to basic learners, and everething went as I expected. Students were participating and laughing at the same time because I made some activities to have fun in the classroom. One of them was "spell the word" and the winners got a price.

Everyone was getting what I was teaching, and the teacher looked satisfied with my job. I felt confident and I    had good results, they even told me that they enjoyed the class I taught and to be honest guys, that feels great!!. Being a teacher has its advantages because when you are told those kind of comments by students, you automatically know that you did a great job.

My second experience with basic learnes was great, and I expect to increase that enthusiasm in students to continue giving their effort in the major. Let me wish you guys a nice vacation and enjoy them!!, blessings!.

My first Basic English experience.

Hey guys, to begin let me salute you and I  hope you're doing good on your other subjects, in this case, doing the role of a teacher. Well, this was my very first teaching experience with basic learners, and even though the subject is called "basic" I want to tell you that this was one of my hardest activities to perform during my major.

I had presentations, role plays, of course they were not easy, and I include this as one of the hardest moments I've had during my major. When I entered the classroom, I felt really nervous and I started to have those feelings of hesitation again.Teacher Karen De Orellana is my tutor, and let me tell you that if she was not there, I might have gotten a heart attack haha!!. No really, I felt nervous because I thought things wouldn't be working well, but I started the class, and thank God they were participating.

I had problems with the book because I was teaching Time Telling, and I was supossed to already have the answers of the activities done. Teacher Karen understood my problem and she somehow told me how to avoid the problem before starting the class.

Thank God I threw away my nervousness I turned into a teacher again!. Things went well and I hope not to have the same feelings in next class!.

Blessings!

3rd Learning experience

Hi people!!, finally I did it!, I finished my three first teaching expierences, and let me tell you that I feel proud of myself because I've done a great job, especially in my last class of period number one.

Things went well, even though students started to feel comfortable for the reason that practitioners were starting their class, I mean they were coming late and were behaving  with a careless mood, but that was not the purpose of my intentions. Let me tell you people that I threw away those thoughts and I started my class with an straight mood.

I made a PDP Framework about Simple present and Past continouos progressive. At this moment they already knew what I was teaching about, and thank God they understood, and with a PDP framework things got easier, in addition that is a great techique to teach a lot of topics, by the way, mine was based on a reading, and things worked out well.

Finally, I can say that I feel happy and the most important thing is that I earned confidence in order to teach more levels next time, hope you mates feel the same!, Blessings!!

2nd Class Teaching Experience

Hi guys and teacher!! hope you're doing good!, let me tell you that I just taught my 2nd class of the Intermediate English II group. It was kind of complicated because again I got that sensation of feeling nervous again!.

I taught "Superlatives", a very important topic in terms of comunication, and a great chance to learn more about it by myself too. I did a great job I think, but I must admit I hesitated because I proscatinated hehe!. I only had a few hours to prepare my class, and I accept it was my fault.

Anyway, I felt comfortable, and I could notice the guys understood very well, and they participated in the activities as always. I must admit that time is the worst enemy of teachers!, and know I understand how it feels for them, I mean, it is a great and a responsibility guys!, and I hope you agree with me!.

In conclusion, teaching is not just standing there in front of a group of people, and speak as if you know it all; teaching involves more things, one of them is responsiblity, hope you guys take it as an advice!. BLESSINGS!!!

My 1st teaching experience

Hello mates!! well, to be honest I had a lot of fun in my very first teaching experience, and the students colaborated in all the activities I told them to perform. Since the very beginning until the end of the lesson, they were participating in each task I gave them. 

I must admit that every teacher has a reason to say that teaching is a great feeling because I was proud of myself when they were speaking in the foreing language, I felt I was in another country!!. Every time a see a movie or a picture of a teacher, I convince myself that I was not wrong when I decided to choose this major.

I felt nervous when I started the lesson because teacher Cristian was the tutor who evaluated my task, but I rapidly threw away that feeling, and I started to show what I'm made of!!.

Hope you guys have the oportunity to teach Intermediate II class!, they're very enthusiastic!!

Blessings!!
