Friday, 11th,2012.
Today was my first class in a new group. I´m in basic english with teacher Karina. As all  first times I was very nervous. I had a lot of things in my mind and I was afraid of everything. I arrived early to the class and in order to feel better and confident I started talking to the teacher. She told me that she has only nine students but some of them dont come to class everyday. As she said they were only 7 and I started the class. I know that I was enthusiastic and I was very positive with this class because I have learned a lot of things all the semester.


As soon as I started I discovered something: The students does not like to participate! I dont know if it was because I was there and they were shy or afraid of me but it was really hard for me.I tried a lot of ways for them to participate and they were so quiet and didnt want to talk. The teacher call their attention saying that they were to quiet today. I reallly dont know what happen I think I prefer big groups! hahaha.I think this was the worst class I`d ever teach, I was more and more nervous and every time I turned to see the tutor she was writting in the feedback page, that made me feel more nervous, fortunately the hour passed so fast and I finished.I know I need to learn to teach everybody and to expect different things because each students is a different world.I hope next class will be better I will continue being positive and motivating students to participate!

  1. It's a pretty good sign that you already feel more secure, and able to implement what you've previously learned. I've also noticed that it is common to have more quietness when the groups are small, probably because they know the teacher... Anyway, I hope you do better with this group next time.
