LAST CLASS THIS PERIOD




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.
 
At the end the teacher told me it was the best class and he just gave me some recommendations to improve my development as a teacher.

  1. Nice to know it was your best class! It seems to me that your eally love being a teacher. Regarding with your warm up, I guess it is always a good idea to do it as a review of the previous topic since they refresh their mind up remebering previous studied structures and at the same time they are doing it in a funny and active way.
    Nice pictures! :)

  2. Hello Xavi!
    I can see you are very happy with the results.
    It feels really nice to be congratulated by a tutor.
    The bad part is that you never share your warm ups with us, and I always ask you to share them.
    Anyway, congratulations and good luck with this coming group.
