My last experience with basic English students second period



                                                  Describe
On April 7th, I was in my last teaching practice from the second period. I was with Basic English students at UNICAES. Students were around 23 this time. It was around 09:05. My tutor was sitting in one side of the classroom. I was developing the last activity of my lesson plan. The classroom sitting arrangement was in a normal way. I explained students that they were going to develop a role play, and I asked   them to join in trios and told them to whom they were going to work with. Immediately, I gave them a piece of paper that contained the situation (role play) on it. I explained them that they had on the paper an example about how they could make their role play, but they could do it as the wanted based just in the situation given; also, that they just had 5 minutes to create their role play and to use can and can´t for possibility. After that, they started to ask me question about simple aspects of their role play. They showed interest to the activity that I had already assigned them. During they were planning their role play I was monitoring them, and when the time was over, I asked for volunteers to past first by motivating them with a gift (candies in a little box), so one group did it, and them, I assigned the order to the groups that were going to past after. Group by group passed and I could see that they were enjoying what they were doing, every student was doing his/her best when performing their role play.

I noticed that students were asking questions about what they had to do.

Based on what I observed, it is important to give for basic students examples about every activity that the teacher asks them to do.


The next time I will give always many examples to basic students because it helps them to understand in a better way what the teacher asks them to do.
I observed that all the students were participating and enjoying the activity.
It is important as a teacher to notice what kind of activities our students like the most.
I will consider to plan on my lesson activities in which my students could feel confident when develop it because it will make them to enjoy what they are doing.

  1. Good job! I agree with you in the way that is better to explain with examples and not to waste time giving instructions! Also, to motivate students to participate work very well. I think students really enjoyed your class :)

  2. Hello! I think that it is important to give examples when you are giving instructions. However, you can select three steps students have to follow. It helps. good job! :)
