My third class experience…

On Monday 11, I had my last class experience with English Access Program. First, I started the class with a warm-up activity that is called “Don’t say YES or NO”. In this activity students asked different questions to each other but they had to avoid saying Yes or No, and if they said those words they had to give a piece of paper to that person.

After that, I made a speaking activity related to a reading from the book and I pasted a chart on the board so that students could talk about it. In this activity students worked in groups of four to discuss the questions. And then, they shared their answers in the class. Then, I gave them a True-false activity according to the reading.

And at the end, students worked in the book in some activities so that they could understand better the article. In the first one, they discussed the main ideas from the reading. Finally, they gave their points of view according to the article and shared some personal experiences in the group work. 

Well, in general I can say that I feel really happy because of all the experience that I gained while I was teaching; I learned a lot of things and also from the teachers’ feedback. I consider that this teaching practicum at the end was very meaningful for all of us. So, I just want to say thanks God and teacher for everything, and all of you classmates for your comments. BLESSINGS ;-)

My second class experience…

On Monday 4, I had my second class experience with English access program. First, I started the class with a warm-up activity called “pass the ball” and the person who got the ball had to answer the following question: what did you use to do when you were a child? 

Then, Students discussed in pairs some questions related to the unit such as; what did you use to play when you were a child? What kind of programs did you use to watch? And so on. After that, students worked in groups of four and they had to pass a bond paper and each of them had to write a list of things they learned when they were children, for example: When we were a child we learned: To respect others, to say “please” when we need something, etc. In this activity they participated a lot and at the end they chose a representative for each group to read the list.

At the end, students worked in the book and they answered a survey that was there, and then they shared the information about their classmates. I really liked this class more than the previous one because of the activities that I developed with them and also because they participated a lot in each activity.
