Describe
On May 26th,
it was my last teaching practice with Basic English students in UNICAES.
Students were around 24 in total. It was around 09:10 am. The sitting
arrangement was in a horse shoe way. The classroom was appropriate to the
number of students. My tutor was sitting at one side in classroom. I was developing
the last activity. Students were looking at me, and I was asking them to
write five sentences on their notebooks, by using the vocabulary that we had
already studied in the class. Some of them were not so happy to do some, and I
had to push them to do it and they tried. I give them enough time to do the
activity, and while they were writing their sentences, I was monitoring them.
When most of them had finished, I asked them to share their sentences with
the rest of the class. I gave the chance to each student to share at list one
sentence, so one by one were sharing their sentence, and I was correcting
some grammar mistakes when one by one finished to read his/her sentence.
There were two students that did not write anything by the moment I asked
their sentence, so I pushed those to do it meanwhile other students were
sharing their. At the end all students shared their sentence and they used
the vocabulary that was taught them.

I noticed that students
do not like to write sentences.

Based on what I observed,
I think all students do not like too much to write.
|
The will encourage my
students about the importance of the written practice, and help them to do
it.
|
|
I observed that two
students were not writing anything when it was asked to do it.
|
It is important that all
students get involved on the activities developed.

My first experiences as English Teacher

Myt third experience with basic English students third period
My second experience with basic English students third period.
Describe
On May 20th, I
was in my second teaching practice with Basic English students in UNICAES of
the third period. Students were around 25 in total. It was around 8: 40 am.
The sitting arrangement was in a horse shoe way. The classroom was
appropriate to the number of students. My tutor was sitting at one side in
classroom. I was on time to start the class. Students were expecting what I
was going to do, so I started the class by greeting them followed by a
warm-up activity, it was mimicking clothing items because the class was
related with that, and they previously had studied that vocabulary; thus I
divided students into two groups, and I explain them the activity carefully
by giving them examples about what they had to do. They chose one
representative from each group who was going to mimic, and the representative
from each group passed to the front. I asked one student to set the time, and
the activity started. The group of students was not allowed to speak but the
representative. All of them were doing their best in order to help their
representative to guess what the pictures were about.

I noticed that the
students were doing what was asked them to do.
|
Based on what I observed,
I think all students understood since the very beginning what they had to do.
|
The next time I teach
this lesson, I will try to give clear instructions in order to help student
to achieve the goal of every activity planned.
|
I observed that all students
knew all the vocabulary presented in the pictures.
|
It is important to start
the class with an interactive activity that includes something that students
already know.
|
I will give always plan a
warm-up activity in order to help students to get involved in the topic that
is going to be studied in the class.

My first experience with Basic English Students Third period
|
Describe
On May 6th, I was in my first teaching practice with Basic
English students in UNICAES. Students were around 25 in total. It was around 9:15
am. The sitting arrangement was in a horse shoe. This time the classroom was appropriate
to the number of students. My tutor was sitting at one side in classroom. I
was about to develop the last activity of the class, so I asked students to
join in trios (I chose the trios), and to stand up. All student were followed
directions some slower than others but all were working. After that, I
explained them that they have to develop a discussion about the best clothing
item to wear for every occasion. Some of them were kind of afraid to start
the conversation, so in some groups I helped them to start the conversation
by giving my own opinion, and they immediately did it. They were discussing about
five minutes when I asked them to choose the best idea from their trio, and
they did it. One by one representative from the trios was giving his or her opinions
about the discussion using the target vocabulary.

I noticed that the students were afraid to speak at
the beginning of the discussion.
|
Based on what I observed, I think that probably it
was because they were not too comfortable with their trios because I chose
them.
|
The next time I teach this lesson, I will give them
the chance to choose their classmates.
|
|
I observed that all the representatives were participating
and sharing their ideas.
|
It is necessary to give student the chance to speak and expose their
ideas.
|
I will give
always plan on my futures lessons activities in which students could have the
opportunity to speak.
