Teaching Practicum II / 2nd period

First Practice of the 2nd period


Sometimes experience in teaching  is not enough when some friends  are going to be your students in the teaching practicum.


My First teaching practice of the second period was strange for me because  I  realized that  some firends  of mine were going to be  my students in the  teaching practicum. At the very beginning I thought that  everything was going to be fine because  I felt confident  to  make the practice with my friends, but as soon as I was infront  of them , I started to think that  they were not going to  feel confortable to participate  due to I was  their friend, so I started to shake and felt nervous .
The warm-up helped us to get in touch with the  English class; later, I  made a grammar review of the topic they had started to study, the  topic was the indirect speach; with the grammar review I realized that  my fear  was just  in my mind and that they felt eager to participate because they volunteered themselves to participate.
At the end of the class i felt better and thought that next time   the teaching practice  will   be fine.
When  I had the  feedback  with  my tutor, I let her know  what happened  to me when  I started in order  to  allowed her to  give me some recomendations for next time. Her recomendations  encouraged me to feel more confortable.
