Unit 3 .Insects life
Since we had feedback, we listened the positive comments
and the comments to improve, we are acquiring more knowledge and learning one
from each other. The class was start breaking the ice in the third unit with
vocabulary. The teachers will be presented by a nice materials, colorful
flashcards and good size. I had learned that it have an impact in the children,
because it catch their attention. In the Communicative Language Teaching a principle
state that authentic materials are helpful for them and Dr. Garza denoted that:”Authentic materials present special challenge for beginning teachers, and it
make them appropriately for the classroom”. This means that the sucess of the class will depend in the materials that teachers use. In addition, Students were monitored by the teachers. Studentes were working in the task. None were distrative or inquiet .Teachers need to check
if the students are working in the right way. Is important to take in account
this because some of them don’t work for many reasons or they are doing in a
wrong way.Besides, the target language was used in the classroom. commands where used in the right moment when some students were talking some words in spanish.Is important to remain them in English because it allows them to get familiar with the language . Furthermore, we need to be careful when we teach grammar not teach
only form which refers to the mechanic of the language.Students must understand the sentence structure of a specifict grammar rule,and understand the pronunciation of a word. Consequently,the meaning refers the mental image and comprehension that is generated by the grammar. It refers that form and meaning are linked. Teaching grammar is a challenge and teachers should encourage to applied in the proper way.Is so important to mention that in the area of time management, some teachers tend to lose the control. We should start early the class and finish the class on time beacuse it affect the time of class to the other teacher and the time management dependece the succes of the class that all the activities are done. In conclusion, in these three units of teaching practicum we had been learned by our own experiences and from each other. It helps us to grow up as futures teachers but something that I would like to know how to have
creativity for implement some activities in the listening.

Hello. I believe you achieved your goals in your classes in general. I saw you more confident in each activity, and you demonstrated a good attitud. You are a creative teacher, and all your kids enjoyed when you were teaching them. We learned that it is not the teacher's fault when any of the activities planned for the class does not work. But we must care about looking for what the problem was, what we can do to fix it, and how we will improve it. Remember that "everyone faces challenges, it is a matter of how we overcome them, and use them to your advantage." (Celestine Chua) Let's continue doing even a better the job we have started with those young learners.
ReplyDeleteHi Susy! Your opinions are important and nice I consider that it is necessary all materials are great because it is easier to catch attention of the children. Very good!!!
ReplyDeleteYou did do it nice!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnte you did do it very nice!!!
ReplyDeleteSussan,
ReplyDeleteyou have mentioned something really important, and it is the fact that the materials make a huge impact in a class. The way I see it is that, we already manage the vocabulary and by "explaining" we use too many words which at the end of the day have been useless when trying to make a child understand something.
As you cited about Dr. Garza denoted that:”Authentic materials present special challenge for beginning teachers, and it make them appropriately for the classroom”. To be quite honest, I am not sure who he is, but anyway, my point is that materials that are properly designed will do most of our job, and that will be a successful class, as long as we make the right decision when designing the materials.
