Second teaching, Third period


Describe

On this teaching practice, I did speaking practices of the questions in simple past. The objective of the class was to close the unit of the simple past tense, practicing all the kinds of questions studied.

The whole class was about speaking so students had a lot of time to talk and share about everything I told them to. First they shared about their vacations, later about their childhood and other things that involved questions in past.

As I did in the last class, develop speaking skills in students, now I took the whole class for speaking and making them share with their classmates. I think that not only help students to get closer between them but also to truly develop the so necessary speaking ability they need.

I plan to keep working hard helping students developing their speaking skills, cause that's the main point of an english class, to make the students talk. Also there are some students that need to be more confident and I'll look for a way of helping them developing their confidence to the next level.

First teaching, Third period


Describe

On this teaching practice, I reviewed some verbs in past and the YES/NO questions in simple past. The main objective of the class was to help students to formulate and answer yes/no questions in the simple past, so I brought oral and written practices for them

The review started remembering the verbs in past used in the last classes, so students will refresh their memory, then a fill in the blanks with the missing verbs in the correct form (past). I continued with the grammar of the yes/no questions in simple past and then written practice of the questions followed with speaking practice.

As I know, students need to practice orally what they learned, so the longest activity was the speaking practice. I wanted the students to ask questions to each other so they put the theory into practice. Students had fun while asking the questions and finding out facts about their classmates with questions thay they formulated.

In the future, I plan to make students to be more talkative. I willbring more and more speaking practices so they can use the class time for speaking and not much writing. It is better to practice with speaking activities because in the real world they will speak more than they will write...
