first class experience, third period.

On Friday 25^th, I started with my first class of the last period. This time, I had the opportunity to be teaching to the English Access Program. To start, I introduced myself and after that, students were doing the same by standing up, telling their names, and why they decided to study English. For the warm up activity, I made use of some flashcards that helped me to present the new unit which was about “what makes people want to buy something”. Then, they were discussing the first two questions that were on the book. To continue, they were answering a questionnaire about their recent shopping purchases, and also they were discussing with a classmate about the kind of shopper they are. To finish, I just introduced the new vocabulary of the reading, and that was all I did that day. Let me tell you that I really liked that group because they participate and ask as many questions as they can during the class, and believe or not it has been a new experience for me because I could see their interest to learn the language, which is nice and something that I did not see in the students of the English major in my last teaching experiences. Well, from my part I will try to do a better job next time, and also I will be ready to clarify all the student’s doubts.
