Second Teaching Second Period

This was the second time I had to teach the group and as I did last time I knew they are very participative and they liked most of the activities I presented them, so I was going to keep my style and teach in the best way improving many things. This time the topic was Present Continuous meaning future. At the beginning of the class I asked them to stand up and make a big circle because we were going to play the hot marker, as we did not have a potato, so while they were passing the marker I was singing and when I stopped the one with the marker had to say a sentence using the present continuous but meaning something that is being done at the moment because they had previously saw that topic. Then as a presentation of the topic they were asked to work on page 52 of the books in a short conversation in which they listened first and then practice the conversation with a partner. After that, I began to explain the grammar point of the class which was the use of present continuous used when we say we have planned something to do in the future. After I explained they seemed to understand everything so I decided it was time for them to practice and students had to complete an exercise in which they had to write the correct use of the present continuous and the good thing was that some of them had doubts, so I was walking around all of them while they were working and some students called me when I passed next to them to reinforce what I just said about the topic. After that I asked students to write five things they were going to make in the afternoon and then share those things with all the classmates. At the end of the class some volunteers passed to the front and said in sixty second all the things they planned to do for vacations. This time the class was even better because it was reflected in their satisfaction and also in the grade I got.

  1. It's nice when you said that your students were very participative because that's really good for teacher since we have to take advantage of this to improve their speaking skill, and also their critical thiking, It is nice you keep your style because that's what makes you unique as a teacher.
