Unit 2.Great outfit

Starting the second unit, we were noticed some situations that happened before in the previous classes and they have being received feedback and taking account some wrong situations that tends to happen in the class. Well, we were expected, the numbers of the students we have and also the level of English and how to adapt them in an easier way. However, errors of pronunciation were made by us. I learned that pronunciation has a power influence in students when they learn pronunciation of new words. So that, we need be careful in the area of pronunciation this is probably one of the hardest skills in English to learn and as a future teachers we need to be careful in that area. It is a challenge for us. Furthermore, a good displacement is important in the classroom, because it helps teachers to observe all the students and keep the attention in all of them. I would like to mention that the use of technology is helpful for teachers. We need to be aware with the use of technology as a useful tool in the classroom. The class was presented by slides in a power presentation and it was so effective because all of the students were pay attention and the topic was well explained. In addition , the activities well planned have an impact in the students ,such as audio lingual method says  that teacher is the responsible of providing diversity of activities in the classroom .Using creative activities as in warm up and in wrap up allows students to be perceptive with the vocabulary. The last activity in the warp up in grammar class was really nice .As an observers we really enjoyed it. In contrast to this, we need to look for the best option to make some activities because some students were distractive when they are participating as whole group and not all of them are participating. Also is important to mention a little mistake as a teacher we commit saying “Shhhhh” as means of quieting students but is not a professional form to stop students to talk. We learned that we can find different ways such as: ring a bell, touch the board, desk, raised the hands etc. In the area of time management, teachers controled it. We should start early the class and finish the class on time even if some activities are omitted. Also, we noticed that some activities in the reading class would be presented in another way in order to get the aim of the activity and children can catch the objective. I would like to know is how to include the correct and effective activities in during listening and during reading and get the aim of the activity with the students.

  1. I will never forget that doing "shhh" is unprofessional, I will take into account what have you written like knocking the board or the desk. Thank you for those tips. I have noticed that no one else has used a power point presentation, however, it was really effective. probably because children are use to see only the board or flashcards, and using the technology as you said, is an important tool. I enjoyed your listening class, you are one of the best teachers who has an amazing creativity and passion to decorate a classrom. Keep going with that great job you have done.
