Thursday,29th.2012.
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!!
The hardest part of teaching Basic is that as you said they do not understand at all as they do not manage the language very well, so we have to find as easy way to teach them so that they can understand.
