My third teaching practice was very nice as I arrived late
and i could not start the class on time. I developed the grammar part and I also
had students develop some practice which was very nice because students were
interested on doing that and they also were asking many questions. It happened
to me that one student started asking questions and I answered but he insisted
asking again almost the same questions. His problem is that he has watched
English movies and he has seen the uses of the prepositions of time different
from the uses I explained. What I answered is that the English used in movies
is not in agreement with the grammatical rules of it, as when we use Spanish inappropriately,
and we do not care about the rules.
I couldn’t finish the activities because a practice I
carried out was very difficult for them to finish, but the activities I
developed were very nice and the teacher congratulated me because of the warm
up activity I developed.
At the moment of the feedback session the teacher told me
the activities I developed were very nice. Something he told me is that when
you present a chart containing something about grammar, and then you have
students practice what you have explained; you have to leave the chart on the
board because some students do not take notes and they need the chart to see if
what they are doing is okay. He also insisted on constantly encouraging student
to use the language.
For me this experience was very nice and I enjoyed it.
On
Wednesday, it was my last class with Basic English. It was the best experience
I had and it is because of the results and because with that class, I advanced
a lot.
As arrived
on time and prepared everything I was going to use. Then, I was a little bit
nervous because my class was going to be recorded and observed by a great
teacher and friend from whom I have
learned a lot. 
I started
the class with a warm up reviewing the last topic studied and students
participated doing what I wanted them to do. The teacher congratulated me
because of the warm up activity and he said it was nice because it helped them
to refresh the topic which was the base for the one I was going to teach.
I continued
explaining the pronunciation of the simple past regular verbs. It took me long
to explain because I provided the rules and one example for each symbol. After
that, I developed some activities including two very controlled and one semi
controlled activities. I did not have enough time to deal with the free
activity but with the activities I developed, I could notice students managed
the topic.
