last class, third period , English Access


Well, my last class with English Access finished today, and it was a very nice experience because they like to participate and help you to do all the things that you want to do inside the classroom. They are very energetic and do things because they enjoy and like doing them.

The first thing that I did in this last class with English access group is that I brought some pictures to teach items related to personal care. I brought certain pictures and I  brought the name of each item and put them in disorder for they to put them in the correct pictures.

As the topic was quantifiers I made sentences using the vocabulary studied. I taught grammar using the pictures for they to understand the countable and uncountable nouns as well.

After explaining each quantifier, I asked them to practice by making a fill in the blank activity. They worked like five minutes doing this and after this I asked them for answers and all of them wanted to participate and say the answers.

After doing this I asked them to write three sentences choosing three of the quantifiers and then I asked them to say the sentences aloud.

Then, the last activity was to whisper. They had to pass the sentence to their classmates, whispering on their ears the sentences and write them on the board. They did it well and enjoyed doing it.

The teacher told me that I did not give too much time students to create the sentences and just some of them had it. In other words I was running. These are all the things that happened and I am really proud of myself because I taught all the classes without having any troubles with any teacher and all my classes were well developed. I thank God for all the things that He did and for helping me to do it in a very nice way.

Second class English Access, last period 

Every moment that i get inside a classroom, i find something new for me and many challenges that help me to be better and face all the obstacles that might appear in the future. Today it was my second class with English Access group. It was nice to see how they work and to see that they are very enthusiastic of learning the language.

Well, the topic was phrasal verbs .Today the first thing that I did is that I did a TPR activity in which I brought some instruments to perform, and I used the phrasal verbs that I was going to teach. It helped me a lot because in that way they memorize the verbs and understand the meaning. This is one of the things that I liked that best.

Then, I came up with written sentences in which they could apply grammar. After doing this I asked to some students for sentences and they did it quickly and they did not hesitate on telling the sentences.

After doing this I asked them to complete a fill in the blank activity in which they had to complete the sentences using the phrasal verbs studied. They had ten minutes to do this, and then we checked all the sentences all together, and we solved this.

Then, I did the last activity which was Simon says. Students got fun and enjoyed this activity a lot. I really like this activity because they play and get fun at the same time.

In the observations the teacher told me that this class was very nice that she really liked it, I just have to be careful with time because I took too much time on doing the fill in the blank activity.

first class, last period


As every first class I started with enthusiasm and with all the feelings, and I did my best to motivate the students doing funny and meaningful activities. In this time I got English access again, and I am with teacher Marcela. The topic was Past Progressive.

I am really admired of how students had learned, and how they produce the language. I remember the first practice that I did, I did it with them, and it was kind of difficult for me because they did not understand what I asked them to do, but now it is totally different they have learned a lot, and I can say that teachers are doing a great job.

But talking about my class the first thing that I did is that I showed some flashcards for they to create sentences orally base on the picture. I really liked this activity because it helped them to practice. After doing this, I gave them the flashcards to practice the questions and answer the questions, as well.

Then, I came up with a fill in the blank activity related to the activity and they did it very fast. There were no questions. After doing this, we checked the answers, and  all of them were well done.

After this I gave the flashcards again, and I asked for sentences base on the pictures; after this we checked the sentences that they did, and just one student did it wrong, but then; everything went well.

Then, I came up with a speaking activity which was called”find someone who” it was cool because they were very exciting answering questions and asking what they did one day before.

I really liked my class it was very nice. I liked it especially because the students participate a lot and help you developing the activities that you bring for them. I love this group!!!

Third class, Intermediate

In this class I felt more confident, and I felt very nice because I did my best. Although in most of the cases teachers have something to tell you. Let me tell you that I had never gotten few comments of teachers they always have something to say. Sometimes we got angry because we think that we did it in a very nice way, and it seems that we did not do it in the way the teacher expected, but anyways every person has his own opinions.

To talk about my class, the first thing that I did is that I wrote a word on the board referring to the topic which was related to beauty. Then, I asked students to tell me what comes to your mind when I mention this word, and they started saying words. As they were saying, I was writing next to the word.

Then, I brought some pictures to studied new vocabulary, and then; I gave them a piece of paper with a new word on it for put it next to the picture. After doing this I checked if all of them were well done.

After doing this I asked them to go to page 52 in which I asked some questions related to beauty such as massages, haircuts, pedicures, manicures, etc. It was nice because they were telling me what people use in order to do these things, and they used the vocabulary studied.

Then, I gave some examples about quantifiers, and they were asking questions. After this, I asked them to create sentences using the vocabulary studied. It was nice because they were putting into practice all the vocabulary that we studied the same day.

After this, I gave them a fill in the blank activity, and they were working for some minutes in this. After this I asked for responses, and they did it in a very nice way. I really liked it because I could notice that they did in a correct way.

 

Second class second period

This was the second class, and I think that it was a little bit better than the first one because now I could make students to speak. In the first class, it was difficult for me to make them speak.  I can say that I pushed them to do it, but this second class there were some of them that were helping me to develop the activities.

Well, talking about the class I could say that everything went well. In the first activity as a warm up, I made a charades activity in which they had to create two groups and each group had to choose a representative who was going to be sitting on the chair guessing the words that his classmates were mimic. It was nice because it helped them to wake up, and then; they did the next activity in a very nice way. I really liked this activity because students enjoyed it and made them to laugh which was a big challenge for me.

As the topic was quantifiers, the second activity that I did is that I gave them some examples about quantifiers let it them know that in some cases you can use more than one quantifier, but we have to be careful with some meanings.

Then, I came up with a fill in the blank activity in which they had to complete some sentences according to the meaning, it was nice to do it because they showed if it was well explained, and all of them did it in a very nice way.

The third activity developed was to create sentences. I asked them to pick up a paper from the box  that I had in my hands and according to the quantifier that they had gotten, they had to create a sentence. Then, I asked to each of them for the sentences, and all of them did the sentences in a very nice way.

The next activity was that I brought a chart to the classroom which contained several pictures of countable and uncountable nouns. I asked them to create three sentences. When they finished, I asked for the sentences made by the students.

After doing this, I came up with a whispering activity in which they had to create two sentences and whisper some sentences and write on the board those sentences given by the teacher.

Something that I really liked from this class is that I improved a little bit in the case of being more enthusiastic. The teacher told me last class that I needed to be more enthusiastic. I think I was at the first thirty minutes, but then; when I saw that they were kind of bored and did not want to talk, it depressed me, and my feelings were not the same.

This is one of the things that I did, and I hope to improve still more.

Intermediate II


Well, I am done with the first class, and I can say this was one of the  worst class that I have taught. First, because I felt like bored, and I wanted to be at home sleeping, but anyways I had to be there teaching. Another thing is that the students were bored as well, and it can be because I transmitted that feeling to them. This day was not so good for me.

So, talking about the class the first thing that I did is that I came up with a warm up activity. The topic was phrasal verbs. I put some meanings of phrasal verbs on the board, and students had to explode some balloons, and then, get the piece of paper that was inside the balloon, and put it in the correct meaning.

After doing this, I checked if they did it in the correct way. Then, I explained some sentences using those phrasal verbs. Then, I brought a fill in the blank activity for they to put the phrasal verbs in the correct sentences.

Then, I asked them to create two sentences and write them on their notebooks. Then, I asked them to come to the front and write the sentences on the board. Then, I checked and all of them were well done.

After doing this, I asked them to come to the front where I had some phrasal verbs, and when they were there, I asked them to pick up a phrasal verb and create a sentence using that phrasal verb.

So these were all the activities that I did with intermediate students.

Something that I did not like is that I was bored, and as I told you I felt the class very bored. I will try to do it better next time because I think that I need to improve.

Third class, cicle II, Teaching P.


Today, I taught my last class with advanced students. It was something that I had never taught or let’s say doing and all over the classes that I have taught, but that never came today. In this class I made a dictation practice now, I am going to tell you what I did.

The first thing that I did is a warm up activity which was to brainstorm the topic of the dictation practice that they were going to write in their notebooks. Well, it was nice because they started to say words related to that word. Then, I came out with the dictation practice.  This was the thing that I had to teach today. The first thing that I did is that I read the article first, and then, I asked them to write it in their notebooks. When they finished writing the article I gave them the page for they to check spelling.

Then, I asked for new words, and they told me the words that they had. I gave them meanings, and they got it in a very nice way.

After doing this, I gave them an activity in which they had to create questions following the answer that I gave them below. They had ten minutes to do it, but they did not finish, and I could not check what they did because time was over, and they had activity to do. So the teacher told me to let them doing it at home.

Something that I did not like in today`s class is that my tonged was twisted, and there was a moment in which I felt frustrated because I could not say a word. I hope it never happens again.

Something that I really liked in this class was the students’ participation and feelings. I must say that they were happier than never.

Second entry, cicle II, Teaching P



Well, my second class is done, and now I can say that I have learned many things from students and even from the teacher.  Today, my topic was music. I started my class with a very nice warm up activity; I brought a CD with a lot of songs on it, and I played it in the classroom. My purpose of doing this is to ask students the name of the songs, the name of the singer and the type of music that I was playing. It was nice because they enjoyed it and it could be noticed when I was playing the songs.

Then, I came out with some new vocabulary related to music and to the reading that I was going to present. So I brought some bond color paper with new words on it and meanings, as well.  I asked students to come to the front and pasted the words with the correct meaning. Most of the words were well done and the ones that were wrongs, I correct them for them to copy in their notebooks.

Then, I gave them the reading in which they had to read and answer some questions that I was going to ask. When they finished reading the article about music, I asked them for new vocabulary, and I told them some meanings that they did not know.

Then, I asked them some questions to see if they had understood the reading, and unfortunately, they did it in a very nice way.

After this, I asked them to complete a square in which they had to fill out the spaces following the reading that I gave them.

This is how it worked, and I think that I did it in a very nice way.

What I did not like is that I used a permanent marker when I was working with the students, and I could not monitor, and it affected my grade someway, but anyways as I told you I learned a lot because it will not happen to me anymore.

One of the things that I liked is the warm up activity because it worked nice and students get relaxed for a while.

In the teacher feedback what he told me was that I do not have to give them too much time for doing an activity and i have to monitor what they are doing, no matter what happened.

FIRST CLASS, SECOND SEMESTER, ADVANCED I



Another semester started and we continue getting and getting more experience about teaching. In every class that we teach we face new situations that make us to think and do not make that mistake again. Let me tell you that now I am working with advanced I, teacher Alex Mendoza. The topic was Present Perfect. First of all, I want to say that I was not nervous because I already knew the group, and they are very participative.

Well, the first thing that I did as a warm up is to give them a ball, and the one who get it was going to answer a funny question. They were enjoying the activity. I could notice that because all of us were laughing. Then, I came up with a chart in which students have to complete some sentences. They had to put the word in the correct place.

Later, I gave certain number of questions for students to create a conversation. They had to include other questions for doing this something more interesting. Then, I asked them to go to the front and share the conversation that they had created. Because of the time I just asked two couples to perform. It was funny, I really liked it.

Then, I gave them a fill in the blank activity for they to complete. I gave them seven minutes; then, we checked them all together. After doing this, I asked them to stand up and discuss the same questions that the fill in the blank activity contained. I asked them to stand up and make to lines in order to be face to face discussing with their classmates.

Something that I really liked is that students participate a lot, they do what you ask them to do, and you do not have any trouble with that.

Talking in general something that I do not like is the time in which we have to be there. It is too early, but anyways.

Some feedback that the teacher gave me was that I have to let the students to think how the sentences go before asking them to come to the front and complete sentences. Another thing that he did is that he gave some advices of how to move from one activity to another. I really liked this because it will help me a lot.

 So, this is what really happened in my first day with advanced students.

Third class, third period

In my third class with intermediate students, I felt more confidence. I made many activities that were well developed according to the topic. They were studying “future in the past”. Well, the first activity that I did was my warm up in which we played the hot potato. They were very enthusiastic playing this. This group is really nice because they participate and help you to develop the activities in the way you expect.
So after playing this, we moved to the next activity which was a discussion with the whole group. This discussion was about the most important factors that we must take into account when we want to get a job. So I asked them and I mention some of the factors, and I asked which is the most important for them, and they were telling me and supporting their answers. It was nice to do this because they participated and used the vocabulary that they knew. I made them to speak especially those who do not like to.
After this, I moved to a reading in which i asked students to read it and then to listen the audio. Then, I asked them about new vocabulary. So I taught vocabulary, and I gave examples for them. As they were basic examples it was easy for them to give another example similar to the one that I gave them.
The last activity that I did was about certain vocabulary that was in the reading that I told you what they had to do is to write the definition of some specific words that were in the book. So then I asked for the meaning of these words and they shared them with the whole class.
So this was my last class with the group. The activity that I really liked is the one in which we were discussing the most important factors for getting a job because they were giving their own opinions. What I did not like is that they were playing with me they were changing their names whenever I asked them to tell me their names, but they were fun doing this so anyways I do not mind, now.
In the feedback the teacher told me that I started my class with a high enthusiasm, and then it was lower and lower, and she told me that it was maybe because of the day, because it was Monday, and she says that on Monday the students come with a feelings  that it is impossible to make them to be focused on the class. This is what she told me, and thank God everything was nice.

Second class, third period
 

Today, I taught my second class with intermediate students.  I really like this group because they are very participative.  I have developed all the activities that I have planned to do with them, and I have not had any problem when talking about participation. This group is one of the best groups that I had had during this semester.


Well, the first activity that I did was to discuss with the students about things that they planed to do in the past, but they did not took place, or maybe it took place, but not in the date that they expected.  We were discussing about it, and some of them said that they had not idea that the major that they were going to choose was going to be Licenciatura in English, some others said that they wanted to be architects, engineers, teachers, etc. It was nice to talk about it because they were very enthusiastic telling me.
 

 Then, as I was going to teach Future in the Past, I taught new vocabulary related to the topic. I asked them to do a matching activity, but all together. I gave a phrase to some students, and I asked them to paste it in the correct meaning that was written in a chart that I did. Then I gave some sentences strips for students to organize them. They did it in a very nice way following the meaning of the words that I gave them.

Later on, I gave the meaning on the new topic, and I gave some examples. First; I started with the was and were going to form. I told them when we have to use it. Then, I asked for some sentences, and they told me. So I must say that the grammar explanation was clear enough. 

Then, I though future in the past with would. I did the same, I wrote some examples, and then I asked to see if they got what I said, and unfortunately; they did it.

After explaining the grammar of this topic, I gave them a fill in the blank activity in which they had to complete some sentences. As they were doing this activity, I monitored all the students, and they were doing in the correct way. Then, I asked for correct answers, and they did it. Anyone got a bad answer.

So this is what I did, and then I waited for the teacher to give the feedback. She congratulated me because she told me that I studied the topic, and that I was very confident at the time of teaching. She told me that I showed that I knew the topic, and that I was not teaching wrong things.  

First class, Third period

This was my first class with intermediate students. At first, I felt very nervous because I did not know how they were going to be with me. I am saying this because I had heard some classmates say that in some cases students do not pay attention or they do not participate in the activities. So that’s why I was nervous, but as times was passing I noticed that they like to participate in class, and they asked a lot.

 So in this class, I did an activity as a warm up, and in this activity, they had to make two groups, and every group was going to choose a representative that was going to be writing the sentences that the others had to transmit. The only trouble was that the topic was reported speech, and I made some sentences in direct form . So what they had to do is to change them into reported speech, but as they had been studying the topic for weeks, it was easy for them to do it.

Then, we work in an activity in which they had to change the sentences into direct form because they were written in reported speech. So they were working in on this and then I asked them, and they did it well. Then, what I did was that I asked them to open their books and answer some sentences according to the listening. Well, here I could see that listening for them is one of the worst activities that they hate because it is difficult for them to understand. So what I did is that I paused the listening sentence by sentence for they to understand, and in that way they did it without any problem.

The last activity that I did in this class was a fill in the blank activity in which they had to write the correct verb according to the tense. It was nice because they were working in the whole class, and they did it in the way I expected.

After this I waited for the teacher`s feedback, and she told me that she really liked it the way in which I worked because I was very enthusiastic and smiling with my students, and she also told me that it helps a lot to do this. Another thing that she told me was that I had to be careful whenever I ask a question. She told me to be careful with auxiliaries.

Third class, second period

Well, this was my last class form this second period, and I can say this practice was very nice. I really liked the group with which I worked. In this third class, I made many activities for students to learn the present continuous. As a warm up, I made an activity called “charades”. I divided the class in two groups. Each group had to choose a representative who was the one that had to be sitting guessing the words and the rest of the students had to mimic the verbs that I wrote on the board.
Then, I showed some flashcards for students to say what the person is doing in the picture. Then, I asked to one student to come to the front to mimic some sentences written in a cheat of paper, and the rest of the students had to guess what he was doing. Then, I came up with the verbs that show state but not action, and I told the students that these verbs cannot be used in present continuous. I also told them that in some cases we can use them, but the meaning of the sentence changes completely. At first, they did not understand, but when I applied some examples, they got how the meaning changes.

Then, I taught present continuous in negative form, and I also taught how it goes in the contractive form. Then, I gave a flashcard to each student, and I asked them to write a sentence according to the picture. They had to write it in affirmative and negative form. Then, when they finished doing this, I asked them to change flashcards and create another one. At the end when all of them had finished creating the sentences, I asked them to write on the board for checking the sentences all together. They did it in a correct way.

What I really liked from this class is that I developed the activities in a correct way. Students understood my directions and did what I asked them to do.

What I did not like is that it was 8:40 am, and just some students were in the classroom, and I had t developed some activities. So I did it just with the ones that were there. They were four students.

In the feedback the teacher told met that the explanations of the verbs that we can not use in present continuous was good and that at first they did not understand, but then they got what I was trying to say. She also congratulated me for the setting arrangement and she also told me that I did an excellent job.

Second class, second period

I think that as time goes on, we are getting more and more experiences of what to do inside the classrooms. We are also learning things that we never expected. In this teaching practicum, I had to teach some new vocabulary to the students but let me tell you that I also learned these new words, as well.

The teacher told me to work on a reading and do some activities that were on the book, but first I taught new vocabulary for they to understand better the article. So, before starting doing this I made a warm up in which they had to read some sentences that I pasted outside the classroom, but before doing this they had to choose a representative for writing on the board the sentences that the group is going to transmit.

Then, I gave them some pieces of papers which contain new words about food, and they had to organize them on the board with the respective meaning. They had some problems with getting them. So we did it all together.

After doing this, I divided the board in two parts. In one part I wrote healthy food and in the other part I wrote unhealthy food. Students had to tell me what healthy and unhealthy food they knew.

Then, I came up with the article that I mentioned before. This reading was about food. So I played the audio for students to follow the speaker, and then I asked them to read it all together. Well, after this, I asked some questions according to the reading, and they were answering what I was asking for. It was easy for them because of the vocabulary that I taught.

After doing this I asked them to work on a matching activity related to the vocabulary studied. They did it, and we checked all together if the answers were well done.  Then, they worked on another matching activity in which they have to match the healthy and unhealthy foods that were illustrated on the book.

Then, when we finished working on selecting the healthy and unhealthy food that was illustrated on their books, I asked them to stand up and discuss in couples why they considered those foods selected are healthy or unhealthy. I really liked this activity because I could see that they were very happy discussing their choices and giving their opinions about it.

What I did not like is that when I asked to some students to take out their books for reading, just some of them did it, and the others had it on their desk, but they did not want to open it. So I asked them politely to open the book because we were going to work on this.

As a feedback, the teacher told me to be careful with the auxiliaries because I was asking questions without using them. I did not notice this until she told me; perhaps, I was nervous, and I did not notice.  I think that when you are teaching, you do not notice those details until someone tells you.

First teaching practicum, second period
I already made my first teaching practicum from this second period, and I think that this time everything was different. As I promised to myself, I gave brief explanations, and I tried to make gestures in order to be understood, and it worked. This is what I really liked from this class that everything was clear enough, and I could do my job in an excellent way.
Well, my topic was about quantifiers. As a review, I started my class with a “Hot potatoes activity” in which students have to pass it, and when I paused the song, the one who got the hot potatoes had to say a sentence using there is and there are. Then, I divided the board in two parts.  In one part I wrote countable nouns, and in the other part I wrote uncountable nouns. I gave a brief explanation about it. Then, I gave them a piece of paper with a word on it. In these pieces of paper I had some countable and uncountable nouns, and what they had to do is to classify which were countable nouns and which were uncountable nouns.
Unfortunately, they did it well, and I did not have problems with it. Then, I started to explain the different quantifiers, and how to use them.  What I really liked from this is that after every example, I asked to different students some sentences, and they were doing it in an excellent way. I could see that my explanations about this were good enough, and I did not need to go back and explain again.
When I finished explaining this, I asked questions using “any”, and they were giving me examples. I did reach my objective in this class, and this is one of the other things that I really liked. I did my best, and I got what I expected.
What I really did not like is that when I was teaching the topic, I asked to one student to give me a sentence using certain quantifier, and this student did not know how to say “refrigerator”. So the student said the word in the way she could. She did not do it in the correct way.  So everybody started to laugh, and what I did is, to tell them that all of them were learning even me and get fun of their classmates’ mistakes is not a good action. I asked to respect their classmates’ participation, and pay attention to what others were saying.
In the feedback, the teacher just told me that I did not tell a definition of what a quantifier is. He suggested me that if I am going to teach a specific topic, I have to give a definition of it. So this was what really happened in this classroom, and let me tell you that it was one of my good experiences that I had had.

Third Teaching Practicum
Well, Monday came and I did my last teaching practice from this period. I must say that as time goes on I am facing more and more situations that help me to become better. On this last class I taught “Family Members”. I consider that it was a very nice topic because they are many things to do with this. To begin this class, I made a Whispering activity as a warm up. At first, I was unsecured. I thought that they were not be able to do this activity because I did not know if the teacher had already taught the vocabulary that I included in the sentences that they had to whisper, but unfortunately they did it and I felt happy because they worked as I expected. Then, I made a listening activity, but before doing this I taught new vocabulary that they did not know and that vocabulary was going to be useful for doing the listening activity. So I taught this vocabulary and I did the listening.
Then, I made another listening activity, but it was a listening comprehension. I could say that this was a very difficult listening. At first they were seeing to each other because they did not know what they had to write, but I played it until they got it and they did it. It was difficult, but they did it. At first, I felt nervous because I was not in my agenda, but anyways we never know what will happen. I can say that this was the only thing that I did not like.
After this listening, I made a review of some grammar structures. They were studying family members, but they also were studying the Simple Present Tense. So I explained something about this, and it was nice because they knew what to do.
When I finished with those grammar structures, I asked them to work on some sentences completion. While they were working on that the bell rang, and I asked them to work on that at home.  
This was what I did I just hope to do it better next time and faced all the new things that I have to face in this next practice. I hope to do it better.

TEACHING

 
PRACTICE 2
As time goes on I am getting more and more experiences in my teaching practicum, and I feel like every day there is something new to learn. In this second practice the topic was “music tastes”. I really liked this topic because when students hear the word MUSIC they get excited, and they want to say their likes and dislikes on music. Well, first able, I started with “hot potatoes’ game”. I could say that it was an excellent activity. I included questions related to the topic, and I must say that they enjoyed it. I really liked when students like something because they got fun and learned at the same time. Then, they had to read Music Taste in which people describe what they  do when they are listening to music, what they do not like about music, etc. After reading this they worked on a true and false activity, based on the reading. Then, I asked for the respective answers.  Then, they had to compare their likes based on the reading, as well. In this last activity that I mentioned students had troubles on comparing their likes because they have to follow a pattern, and they did not get what they had to do until I explained again, and I made an example by my own. At the end, they did it which is the most important thing. The next activity was that they had to answer some questions about their music taste individually. After doing this they shared their answers with the class and then, we finished with a comparison activity in which they had to compare likes with their partners, and share with the class, too. What I really did not like is that I did not finish all the activities. There was missing one in which they had to make a conversation. Sometimes we expect to do all the things that we had planned, but just God knows what will really happen. Now, I must say that the students that I am working with do not understand when I am giving a direction; therefore, I have to teach or explain step by step the examples and writing them on the board, or if it is possible make gestures as much as I can. In that way they will know what to do, and what I am trying to say.

TEACHING PRACTICUM 1

This was the first time that I teach at the university. I would like to say that it was nice because it is an experience that none forget in life. To get nervous is common for most of us, but in my case I am admired with myself because I did not get nervous, and that`s good. So in this practice I taught “Prepositions of Place”; I developed some activities such as sentence strips, city map exercises and some listening comprehensions. In the city map students were giving me directions, and they were asking and answering questions in couples, as well. While I was teaching something happened I made a listening comprehension in which students had to follow the conversation and write the correct numbers, and just few students understood the listening so what I did is that I paused the conversation sentence by sentence, and in that way they got it. I did another conversation in that way as well, and they did it better. Therefore, i think that I need to improve in this in order to have better results. I think that it is an experience that I will never forget, and that I have to put it into practice whenever I make a listening. This is the only bad thing that happened but them everything went great. What I really like is that I managed time in an excellent way I finished what I had to teach. Another thing that I also liked is the last activity that I did, it was an activity in which they have to say the direction that I was asking for and they did it in a very nice way. They also have a true and false activity and they did it in a correct way, too. Hence, I must say that my objective was fulfilled. I did my best in this class, and I enjoyed it a lot.
