Second time teaching in the Advanced level and the students are really nice, well I have not been in all the groups but this second group is great. The students are dynamic and they have very good English skills, so that is why for me it is not difficult to be there teaching. I enjoy being in the class even when I dont have too many students; they are around ten but just eight students are always in class.
It is very curious because we have the concept that if there are many students in a classroom teaching will be hard, but also if you dont have a large number of students it will be hard because when you bring group games or activities you dont have enough students so I have to take into consideration all of these aspects too.
I received some sugestions from my tutor teacher and one of those ones is write examples on the board or print them to give them to the students because I bring some examples about collocations regarding mind but they did not have time to copy these information in their notebooks.
Nice sarai. I know that you are giving the best. Continue working hard!! take care...
ReplyDeleteYessss Gallina same happens to me because in the previous group i used to have 28 students and now they are just 15, but i get 12 or 13 i every class.. it was kind of difficult for me to get accustom to it, but once you start thinking about it, it becomes easier. Just remember that students of this level have developed their English skills very well so you can take advantage of it by making them talking a lot in your classes, and you will see that the time will pass really fast... see ya..
ReplyDeleteThanks Ercy and Oscar for your good desires and also for the advices, I like to make my students work while I rest jaja Just kidding, but It is true you feel better when you see a group in the last level of English using their skills because you can see the results of being a teacher. Take care guys
