4th and last Teaching!!! (Advanced 1)


Thursday, August 23rd, 2012
After finishing this class, I felt satisfied since I knew this was my last teaching with this group and I had struggled for developing a good instruction with these students. Even though this is just the beginning of my last Teaching Practicum, this is also a big step in my development as a teacher. During this class, I carried out a hot potato game related to “Rituals” vocabulary.  The students had to take a piece of paper containing concepts and definitions from the paper ball when the music stopped. Later on, they had to match the concept with its corresponding definition.


Then, I encouraged the learners to talk about rituals they carry out during different activities. Some of them expressed some examples about what they do before studying, eating, drinking, going out among others. Some others talked about the rituals they had seen in other cultures and other societies. Next, I asked them to work on some exercises from the book about collocations regarding present and past habits. Subsequently, I gave them some pieces of papers containing some situations related to habits they used to do when they were children. As a final point, I encouraged them to expressed their ideas about they had discussed with their classmates. In this way, I’m done with my Advanced I teaching practice!!!

  1. I think everybody sees each class as a challenge. There is something new we are going to learn each day, so this teaching practicum has been as you said a step for growing up as teachers.. We all are expecting to get to know the new group we are going to work with!!!!!!!

  2. And we must be ready for the new groups because remember each group is different so we should not expect to get the same attitude or the same enviroment, so lets work hard and lets do our best in our next step!!!
