After reading a few articles about teaching and learning, I reflected my classes. It was a very important opportunity to me. I recalled the time when I tried to motivated my students to be more active. Above all, I am very amused at knowing useful sites for teaching. It's very hard for me to find out all of them for myself.
One of tasks of this week is reading other teachers' final project papers and reflecting one of them. I read a paper written by an English teacher from Burkina Faso in Africa. Reading his paper, I felt that he is doing his best as an English teacher. He motivated his students to write and speak English through e-mail even though some of them have never used computer before. Finally, he led them to write e-mail and students could enjoy writing English. Although I read only a paper, I felt that I was participated in his class. It was amazing!
Hi Soo yeon,
답글삭제I also learned a lot and reflected, more than ever before, on how much I have neglected listening activities. No excuses now, with such fantastic material: downloadable reources, printable worksheets...you name it!
I try to do my best every single day and that's why I sometimes feel frustrated with students - I'm not expecting their thank you words, but some commitment and engagement. Year after year, no matter how hard we try, in Portugal too many teachers complain that students are more and more difficult to teach and please.
What about in your country?
Greetings from Portugal,
Alex
