My last teaching experience in this subject was much
better than the previous one in teaching practicum I because not only I have
much experience, but also I have grown as person, as teacher. In fact, my work
as a teacher have been one of my best experiences in life.
The beginning of my first semester in teaching
practicum I, It was totally different than my second experience in this last
semester because in this time, I knew what to do in every case, every class,
and I developed better activities, and I fixed many things that I did wrong the
previous semester, my nervous left away and my insecurity too, in other words,
I can describe how much I feel the difference in myself, but I could notice in
my student´s work and how they were paying attention to me in the classes even
when I taught grammar because I always tried to teach grammar using the best
strategies in order to avoid boredom in them. In addition, I have learned to
make a better job and improving my teaching, and developing lesson plans, it
was easier than before and I applied more interesting strategies. In this time
I learned not only to teach, but also to know my students and prepare my
classes according their preferences and needs. Receiving feedback always helped
me to know what was wrong and how to improve it, despite I knew more things and
manage my students and classes, I always could learn to do it better because I
am a human and could learn from my errors and how to improve them. On the other
hand, I also wrote my practices in the blog allowed me to noticed many things
and how I had improve in every class but above all allowed me to create better
relationships with the students, I learned to know each group and take
advantage of it. To add, I always tried not to make the same mistakes the next
class and my tutors told me that they could notice that I considered what they
advised to me.
Throughout this experience, I noticed that even I
didn't have difficulties to create my classes, I spent less time than before
when I started to teach. I strongly believe that it was because I obtained more
experience by practice: at the end I
learned many things, how to use the most appropriate activities, for what
level, for what ages, for what kind of students, and what kind of attitudes by
applying different strategies to develop the macro skills between other things.
In brief, I created my classes very quickly and with more efficiency.
Furthermore, I developed my personal style as teacher that was something that I
wanted to achieve during this time and fortunately I achieved.
My favorite experience was especially with one group
I had the opportunity to go there and introduce myself and establish a good
relationship with them, I started to go to the observations, I really liked how
they worked because they were very active and enthusiastic and they like to
participate a lot in all the activities, even tough, they were a difficult
group, they always respected me and had a good attitude in all my classes.
I believe that many of the student that I gave
classes will remember me as I will remember them, I hope to leave them a good
impression of me, maybe my work it was not the best one but it was the best I
could do it, sometimes it was most difficult to develop a great class because
some personal problems, but anyways, I also learned to deal with that. Now, I
feel satisfy of giving the best of me.
Being a
teacher is one of the most beautiful but difficult jobs, because a teacher has
to have a lot of roles in other to be very useful in their student´s learning.
Even if he or she feels bad, he had to develop the class as well. In addition,
how to be professional as teacher is a learning process during all the life and
if we are constantly updated and do it the best, we will be professionals in
our work.
In my last words, I can say that I could notice how
important these subjects are because I grew not only as teacher, but also as
person. At the beginning of this year, I was nervous at the beginning, but at
the end I´m completely another person, now I feel that I am able to develop my
teaching. Maybe I have been a shy person and that makes me to pass many
difficult situations and even I didn't have confidence with teachers, but now I
have improved it a lot of.
I have learned that as teachers we are inspiration
for others, models for that reason it´s so important to do the best of us. At
the end of this project, I feel too happy and I know that it was the beginning
of my process to continue developing many things, many goals and project in my
life.
