It was the first lesson, the teachers in charge were: Luis and Gloria.
Vocabulary: bag, book, pen, pencil, ruler and eraser.
They started the first class, I consider that was difficult for them because they are the first teachers, and it was the first time that they teach. The warm-up was developed using a ball, and asking what is your name? and children answered: My name is... !
I consider that Luis did a good job, because he thinks in fun activities in order children were interested in the class. But, he need to improve the voice, and the control in the children. Some of the students felt bored because they did not understand the instructions.
After that Gloria continue the activities, but children do not follow instructions, may be because I think is necessary to model instructions. She developed the activities showing happiness. Some of the students do not understand because some of them have never studied English before. But in general, they tried to do the best, it is normal that when is the first time that you are in front of your first students you feel nervous, and made mistakes. I think that they will improve.
We need to take in consideration the next aspects in order to improve our future classes:
- Modify our voice in order our students can hear us.
- Speak slow
- Show enthusiasm when we are in front of the children.
- Prepare materials in appropiate size, color and shape.
My Case of Study:
Michelle did not present at class, but children in general felt shy, and confussed, may be they expected that the classes will be in Spanish. They participated suring the class, when they understand the instructions they follow and do the things.
Some of the children felt bored, so they requested going to the restroom, or they distractive during the class.
As conclusion, we need to consider that children need activities in which they feel involved and interested. When they do not understand instructions they felt dismotivated, or frustrated. So we need to speak slow.
