Hi again. Today, I had my second experience with this new group. I feel very happy because even though when I was planning my class (yesterday), I did not what to do because it was just free practice and the activities that were in the lesson plan the teacher gave were not that long to last for the whole hour I had to teach, so then, I decided to design my owns. It took me some time and I was like running because unfortunately my printer is not working, so I had to work fast and go to a ciber cafe as I was going to use printed material. Hopefully, the activities worked well, and students enjoyed them.
This time, I took into consideration the advices I was given last class, and it was marked in the feedback session. The teacher told me: "it is nice that you took into account the recommendations."
Something I want to share with you is this: we have studied something regarding on correcting students´ mistakes. We discussed about which is the best moment of doing that. In my last class, I was suggested to correct students at the moment they make the mistakes, and I did it today, so the teacher thanked me for doing that because he consideres that this is the best way to do it because later onwe can forget about it. SO I DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT IT.
This class was better than the previous one, and I think I will be doing better class to class. I hope so heehhehe
It is not a surprise to read such entries from you. We already know that you do better than anyone in our group.
ResponderEliminarWell, I do agree that it is better to correct the students at the moment they make the mistake, but you have to know how to do it. So that students do not feel ashame.
Mmmm I think that all depends on the moment that students make the mistakes. Sometimes it is better to correct at the end of a participation because you don't interrupt students' ideas. Also, it is important to consider the way how you correct.
ResponderEliminarThose two elements are crucial because they are students from Basic English, and some of them could feel embarrassed.
But, I am sure that you know when you can correct your pupils.
Great job!
