My First Teaching Practice
Hello everyone! This is Nery Mendoza and now you will see how my first teaching practice was. It was on Monday, February 1st, 2017 in the room B34 at 8:30 a.m. Well, being in front of 28, or more, Ss might be not really easy for any new teacher. That is what actually happened in my very first class because I was nervous at the very beginning. I greeted all the Ss and started the class praying (one of them helped me). Right after that, I provided the Ss with a piece of paper for them to write their names. It took me around 4 minutes.
The following step on my agenda for that day was to develop a warm up. The one that I developed is called "One, two, clap!". It is pretty simple because what Ss have to do is only not to say every multiple of three because if someone do it, that person was going to have a penalty. The penalties were very simple as well, since they just have to answer some reviewing questions.
Then, I continued with the introduction of new vocabulary about nationalities, birthplace, hometown, and professions or occupations . I consider that part as the best of my teaching of that day, becuase all Ss understood both spealling and pronunciation. Moreover, my mentor told me ( when she was giving me feedback) that vocabulary presentation was the best managed part of my teaching because I did step by step and little by little.
Finally, I ended my first teaching practice with an activity in wich Ss had to collect personal information about their T or classmates by filling in a small chat on a sheet of paper and write a pargraph by using that personal information. Doing this last activity, I could reach the objective for that class.

Hey, i like the warm up you developed in your first class, that was a goo idea to keep it simple as it was your first class. And as we all got nervous in our first class i can read you managed well your nervousness.
ResponderEliminarI could realize that you developed a nice class. I believe that the most important part of the class is the grammar explanation because it is here where some students can get lost, but as you mentioned before it was the great past you developed. Besides, you had the total control of your group. Wondrous!!!
ResponderEliminarI really like the last activity that you develop because students were interacting and knowing each other better. You did a good job when teaching the vocabulary step by step as you said. I should consider that for my teaching practicum.
ResponderEliminarI enjoyed to read your last activity! you did an excellent job nery!
ResponderEliminarthank you so much for sharing your information with all of us.
hello, I like how you started the class, it seems you developed the activities without problem, and as you said before it is not easy being in front of many people, I hope your next class will be better and better.
ResponderEliminarI had the opportunity to see your first class. it was a great class Nery; you acted as a teacher, and you made your activities simple. I just noticed that your voice was hard to hear sometimes because of the voices of 28 students. I liked your class. keep trying!!
ResponderEliminarHello
ResponderEliminarI see that you really enjoyed teaching. It seems that you did not have any problems. I pretty sure you will continue doing a great job.
Hello, Nery! I think that since we are teachers to be, we have to start getting used to large groups of students as there exists the possibility to face that reality when you are professionally working. All your activities had a lot of success as you could reach your final objective. Great job!
