Third teaching experience


This third teaching experience was very nice because i started the class on time only with a student because the others had not arrived. Later on, they arrived, so I had to integrate them in the activities. I had to teach the grammar part and I tried to do my best. Everything was nice, and I think this is the best experience I have had. As always, the teacher corrects me the pronunciation of some words. He has been correcting me the pronunciation of some words since the first teaching experience but when he asks me to pronounce the words; I pronounce them in the correct way. It means that nervousness make us to mispronounce some words. This last time he told me that I spent too much time explaining the grammar part and I think it is because the students are not from Basic English, and I have decided to explain it faster next time.

SECOND EXPERIENCE

There is not that much to say about my second experience in the teaching practicum. The first thing that happened is that the teacher who was in the room when I arrived didn't want to leave and I wanted to arrange the desks and prepare some things before hand. When the teacher finally left, I did what I had to do in a hurry and I started to teach. The class was very nice and I had to explain the grammar part which not all the teachers enjoy doing. Lol.


I explained the grammar part and then I developed some activities. Something the teacher corrected me is that I have give the instructions  first when carrying out an activity and then I deliver the material students are going to use because sometimes if you give them the material first, they start developing the activity without paying attention to what you say. Another suggestion was to take into account all the students for example when you develop activities in pairs and a student remains, you have to give him something to do, maybe you ask him to take the time or something.  
I really enjoyed my class.

FIRST TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Today it was a wonderful day for me because I had my first experience in the teaching practicum for me. I think it was amazing because all the students participated in the different activities and they really enjoyed the Warm-up I presented. the warm-up is called Ban-Ban, and I learnt it somewhere. I could notice that those students really like to participate it doesn't matter if they make mistakes. I arrived very early to the classroom and there were no students yet. then, some students appeared but they didn't enter because they so the teacher was not there. It was kind of funny because maybe they thought it was the wrong room, lol. I think everything went okay just kind of nervous and that's why some words cannot be pronounced well. When I finished my class, the teacher started telling the students the mistakes they had made during my presentation, so now I know I have to do it, too.
