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!!
