Today was my second teaching practicum at Basic English. I received what I was to teach on Wednesday I was worry because it was just one day before but since I don`t have any class I had the whole day to prepare it. I made some charts and had plenty of time to practice what I was going to do.

The day of the class as usual I was nervous..haha. Even 

I felt prepared I cannot stop feeling nervous. I arrived to the class and I started preparing everything when the teacher arrives and ask me to start. This time I didn`t have to teach grammar which made me happy. The activities were controlled and semi controlled practice.

This group is so cooperative and they do the things as I tell them to do it. They never complain. I really like this group. The only thing is that since they are beginners they are very slow and I have discovered that I need to be repeating directions a lot but I guess it is because they do not manage the language yet.

They participated in the activities I made and they seem they really want to learn which is good because they are interested in the class. I`m happy now things are going better I feel I`m gaining experience and losing shyness. I`m optimistic for next class because I`m learning from my mistakes and trying to do things better than the previous class God luck to everybody!!

Today was my first class in a new group. Basic English I. Teacher Ercilia is in charge.First, I was nervous but with a lot of expectations about the new group I was wondering wheteher it will be difficult or not. On wednesday the teacher gave me what I had to teach. I`m so lucky that I had to teach grammar notes :-( 


I was worry about it but the topic was adverbs of frequency so it was not that difficult I just prepare myself by reading a lot the day before. I was worry the time to prepare my class wouldn`t be enough because last term I used to have like 4 days to prepare it. This time is from one day to another. I read a lot about the topic until I felt prepare. The day o the class everything flows so natural which I liked because I think I`m finally getting the rythm to teach. Students cooperate so well that I felt more confortable and free even to make some jokes for them not to get bored. The only thing that I think I need to change is TIME!. 


One our was not enough for what I prepared so the teacher make a sing for me to stop and I didn`t finished what I prepared but Im happy because I developed a big part of the class. I noticed that since they are begginers its harder for them to understand some things and I need to go slow. Some of them need me to repeat intructions more than once. I very optimistic for my next class I think everything will go better because I`m learning from my mistakes.
