My first expierence with Basic English students Second Period

Describe On March 15th, It was the first time of my teaching practice from the second period. This time I was with Basic English students in UNICAES. Students were around 26. It was around 8:35. My tutor was sitting in my right side in the classroom. I was starting the class by developing a warm-up activity. The classroom sitting arrangement was in semicircle. The classroom was too small and students were too many for that classroom, so it was too difficult to have students in a semicircle way. I was a little bit nervous because it was my first time teaching basic English. I presented myself to Students. I was smiling to them and exaggerating my tone of voice in order to establish a good rapport among students and me. I gave to each student a piece of paper for students to write their names on it. I explain them that we were going to develop an activity. I divided them into two groups. I asked to each group to choose a leader and they did it so fast. I could see their faces expecting what they leaders were going to do. I explain to each leader what they had to do first through oral explanation and mimics. Then, I explain to the groups what they had to do and both the leaders and the groups got it since the first explanation. So, I started to show to each groups some flash cards. I pushed them to participate through compliments at the beginning in order to make everyone to participate. They were describing them through mimics. Everybody was participating and I could see that students were enjoying the activity. At the end just one group got all the flashcards but both did their best.

Students understood at first time what they had to do after explaining the directions. Students´ mood was amazing during the activity.	Based on what I already know about giving directions I think that it is important to consider students level when explaining the directions especially when you do not have them in a written form because in the case of basic students mimicking and modeling is crucial to make students understand what you want them to do, due to the lack of vocabulary that they have. Based on what I observed, It is crucial that the teacher´s mood being good in order to contagious students and to make them feel confidence towards the class.	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, and also to not forget students level and according to that include on directions the elements that will help me as a teacher to make students understand easily what I want them to do. In future lessons I will always try to have a good mood in the class in order to make my make my students to feel confidence towards the class and the different activities.
