My first experience in the classroom with English Advanced students



Describe
It was around 7:20 a.m., It was my first time as English teacher of Advanced Students. Students were around 23. My tutor was sitting in my right side in the classroom. I was in the practice’s stage of the class’ agenda specifically in the controlled practice. I gave to each student a worksheet which they were going to work on. The classroom sitting arrangement was in a semicircle form. Students were passing the worksheet that contains some exercises about adjective clauses while I asked one student that already had the page to read the directions of the exercise A of the worksheet; he read the directions aloud, and then, I explained what they had to do, so I asked one student to explain on which the activity consisted according to herself. Thus the student explained aloud what it was asked,  I could notice that they understood which the activity consist on; so then, I asked students to work on the activity correctly as fast as they could because of the time. During the time that students were solving the exercise, I was monitoring them. When most of the students had finished, I asked them to check their answers together. Consequently, I was asking some students one by one randomly to share their answer with the class, subsequently students were participating and I asked to the wrong answers what did they think about? In order that they could make the corrections by themselves and they did it when it was needed.

Students understood at first time what they had to do after explaining the directions.



Students made their classmates´ correction correctly



Based on what I already know about giving directions I think that it is important to break them down and give them clear and precise.

Based on what I observed, I think that students are able to make their classmates’ correction when working  together


So, in the future, I will always put on practice to make the directions easy to understand because it helps students to work as they are supposed to work in a specific activity.
In future lessons I will always let students to correct themselves by their classmates, and of course I will be just guide them and help them.
