Hello again guys. Well, today I had my second class with the advanced group. Let me tell you that this week was very hard for me because the charger of my computer got broken, and yesterday I was sick and I had to prepare the material I was going to use today.

well, as I said, I got sick yesterday and today I did not feel that comfortable, but I had to teach my class. The activities I developed were very nice and just the warm up had to be interupted because a student from the next room came to my room I told me to lower the voices or do something else because they were having a quiz.

I have to be honest. I was to teach part of the grammar part, and I was affraid of it because the topic was not well known for me, but fortunately students understood what I explained, and when they came the time for practicing, they did very well. I felt proud of myself because there was a student that does not like to work, but today he approached me and show me what he did, and he felt proud because what he did was ok.

In the feedback part, I was congratulated because of the activities I developed as they are very useful to get involved all students of the group. I was also told about my energy, my enthusiasm. The tutor teacher told me that she saw a lower energy compared with the first day I taught. I think it was obviuos because as I said, I was still kind of sick.

  1. Too bad to hear about your illness, hope you get better. I guess enthusiasm keeps affecting most of us, although in your case it was b/c of particular reasons. It's impressive that you got that student to work and feel good about himself, congrats.

  3. What a shame for the problems you faced. Anyway, there are some situations that we can’t anticipate; nevertheless, we must be ready for everything. On the other hand is good to know that you improved you teaching and your students understood your class pretty well. Thumbs up!

  4. It is nice to try to do our best when explaining the grammar part because it is not that easy and I think teachers understand it. I am sorry for your illness Alex but I see that even though you were sick, you did it well and that is part of perfection.

  5. For sure we as teachers have to de ready. There needs to be an action plan for any situation we might face when teaching; and let me tell you that I am really glad with myself because even though the grammar point (the structure) was not familiar to me, I understood it and I could explain it...
