Second Teaching Practice 

In this entry, I will tell you about my second practice at English access program. Well, I started my class developing the warm up activity in the basketball field. I could observe that students were really happy during the activity, they were also interacting, and speaking English while having fun.

After that, I developed the second activity in which I pasted some pictures with questions using the future progressive and perfect. So, students were discussing those questions and using the grammar patterns as the teacher suggested me. I could notice that the questions caught students’ attention and they were participating during this activity which I think was good because they were sharing their thoughts.

Finally, I developed the last activity in which  Then, I gave students two pieces of paper in which I asked them  to write an answer per each question.  After that, I asked students to stand up, walk around the classroom and share with their answers. As a final step, I asked them to paste the two pieces on paper on the posters and help me to guess who wrote some sentences. During this activity, students had the opportunity to practice the future progressive and perfect by writing down sentences about their personal life. Besides, it was rewarding to see them motivated to share their sentences with their classmates.   

First Teaching Practice 

Hello, I will tell you about my first teaching practice at English access program during the second period. I taught them about the reported speech.

First, I developed the warm up activity in which students were completing some thoughts according to their ideas. I could notice that students were interacting during this activity and they were also sharing some personal information.

Then, I moved on to the grammar explanation. In this opportunity, I pasted a picture of a girl and a picture of a boy to explain them the grammar rules about the reported speech.  During this step, students were participating a lot. They were giving examples using the reported speech which made me feel really confident. 

After that, I developed a conversation, so I asked students to practice aloud the conversation. I could notice that they were really engaged during this activity and I liked to see that they were reading the conversation very confident and enthusiastic. Then, I gave each student a worksheet with some sentences and I asked them to rewrite the sentences using the reported speech.  During this activity, students were practicing the reported speech and putting into practice all the information that I shared with them during the grammar explanation.

Finally, as students were learning about the topic frenemies, I asked them to think about a question about it. Then, I asked them to ask that question to a partner and report the answer at the end of the activity by sharing it with the whole class. I could observe that students were asking questions related with the topic and I  felt happy because they were using the reported speech when I asked them to report their partner’s answer.
