Second Class!!


Hello guys, here is my second entry.
My second class was awesome, I got a really good grade, the students enjoyed the class. The activities I brought to class were really nice, starting with the warn up, that was the "gossip game" , students really liked the game, and what is more important is that they were playing and remembering the structures for the topic we are studying, which is a review for the simple present, present progressive, simple past, and present perfect. To introduce the topic I use a song, the name of the song is "Eternal Flame". Since I just covered the simple present and the present progressive, this song really matches with the topic and what is more important, the students were developing listening and reading skills. After a brief introduction for the topic, we have the grammar section, we all know that the grammar section is the most difficult part to teach, that's why I used a dynamic way so that students could understand better and they could not get bored. I introduced the "Frequency Adverbs" by pasting each adverb on the board with its own frequency; which was good because in that way, student will know how to use them. Well, this was my second class and by now I feel really comfortable with my group, If you have any comment, feel free to post it!!

Fisrt Class, First Step...

Well, let's say I'm back on the road and I really enjoyed my first class. I have 12 students, they are really nice guys. As you might notice, they are taking Intermediate English I so they are kind of  shy sometimes, but what I really liked is that they participate even though they are not sure about the answer. My class was about practicing the present perfect, we made a role play. In this activity I could noticed they are very intersted in the language, and they are doing their best to learn it. This is all I have to tell about my class, I'm so happy with this group and I hope this is a good beginning.
