Second Teaching Practice

For second place I observed the class again, during 3 days I went to Level 6 class given by teacher Luisa Felix. I felt really good observing her class because she is an excellent teacher and her classes always are very clear. I took notes during my observation just for me to remember or to have different ideas in how to give a class in an effective way. These observations are giving me the chance to take the best part of the teacher and accommodate it according to my needs.

I had my second teaching practice and it was not cool at all. I followed a lesson plan that I did one day after my class because of the topic that supposed had to be given was changed at last minute. It was an issue that did not give me the chance to prepare well my material and check out my grammar and also the topic. I did not follow the book and it was a problematic with my students because they were expecting use the book. But in other hand during my presentation of grammar and vocabulary the students presented a good behavior but also so much doubts that I was not able to answer at all, but I could handle that situation even though the  bad attitude of some students.

This second practice was in pairs which did not allow me to have a direct interaction with the students through activities. However during my part of the class I gave feedback to my students in terms of pronunciation because in accuracy there was not opportunity for students to produce.  To be honest I was not well prepared for my class there was a lack of knowledge about the topic and it was because I did no focus on the book I just took the instructions for the teacher and looked up  for my own information that was a serious mistake because students were very centered on the content of the book and when a student’s ask me for an activity for the book   I got stocked because I’ve not checked that part and even me I have no idea about what was it about I leave students with the doubt and then I check that and at the end of the class I tried to solve that mistake from my part.

What I can improve for my next practice is to revise my topic as so many times as I can and get familiarize with all the content of the book, make a complete lesson plan and ask for my topic to teach as soon as possible in order for me to have time and make  it better.
