Last Wednesday, I taught my Ss the numbers
from zero to one-hundred. I’m pretty sure my Ss understood the lesson because at
the end of the class I did an activity which proved me that they clearly
understood the lesson. So there were many aspects that help me understood what’s
cooking in class.
First of all, I could reach all my
objectives; my Ss learned everything I taught them even though everything in
the class was going so fast since they have been studying English for many
years. However, I also had to face some problem.
For example, at the beginning of the class,
I tried to make my Ss work in groups, but I couldn’t; they wanted to work with
the same persons as they are used to. So
I would like to group them differently; that’s one of the things I would like
to change in my classes and I also would like to encourage my Ss to participate
in my classes.
Second, in my class, I made use of
photocopies which were very effective, my Ss try to use isolated words to
communicate in English, and I tried not to speak to much and let my Ss to do
it. I think that having done those things helped me to engage many of my Ss in
the activities.
Moreover, I developed many different
activities with different types of materials, but I think the most interesting
activity for my Ss was the dictation and writing activity, and the warm up was
the least interesting one.
So, I consider
that I have to improve many things for the next class; for example, my
directions were not so clear because I had to repeat them three times, I have
to try to make all the activities I will develop to flow smoothly , and to
provide more opportunities to my Ss to learn because I think that a good
teacher is the one who cares about his or her Ss learning process, so the most
important thing I will like to accomplish in every class is to make my Ss use meaningful
English.
