Introduction

Hello there! This is Nathaly and I´m more than glad to welcome you to my Blog!

I´ll start off by telling you a little bit about me. I love cats, English, and coffee. I´m really passionate about English and I truly admire teachers, I feel inspired by the way they taught me, so I really feel that being a teacher is a great profession. My mom is a teacher and I always wondered what was behind her classes and why it seemed so easy for her to explain and make people understand concepts and engage. I´m quite excited now that I´m taking English Didactics because many things start to make sense.

 I feel really attracted to interpretation, that´s the area I want to grow in; however, I am open to the experience of teaching English. Actually, I worked as an English teacher all last year long,  teaching 5-11-year-old kids, it was very empirical, to be honest, I loved every activity in the classroom, loved the kids and how week after week they showed improvement, that was rewarding, but handing in monthly reports was a  challenge. With these classes, I feel like I will be more prepared, will have more knowledge and tools to feel less overwhelmed about teaching.

Grammar and Vocabulary Demo Classes

Hello dear teacher and classmates!! Welcome to another weekly entry. Time flies and I can´t believe we are already in a new register! This time, let me start with a fantastic record of our last class. We did some demo classes as a team. It was very funny to see all the course wearing black as if we had planned it!😅😂 Teacher Orlando divided us into four different groups, I'll introduce mine in a second. And we performed grammar and vocabulary topics as teachers. Let´s get into it and review what each one of us presented to the class! Group 1: Vocabulary - Medical Vocabulary Group number one decided to teach medical vocabulary. I really loved their activities and the topic was especially important since we will most likely be interpreting or translating medical-related things, so I found it very useful.  First of all, they started asking some questions, they showed us some medical stuff and we brainstormed as a class, trying to guess what the right term for the image was. Then, the...

Body language, coordination, and improvisation

Hello! Welcome to a new entry!   Thanks once again, for taking the time to read my thoughts on a new topic. This time, I will describe all about our body language class, coordination, and improvisation. In this class, we learned a lot of useful tips to improve our body language, we did many exercises, and I loved our very dynamic class.   To start off, we made some space in the classroom and arranged ourselves into two rows, one in front of the other. Then we had to keep eye contact with the person in front of us, trying to be serious. I was in front of Dani, and it was difficult at the beginning but then I could focus better and made it to the end! This kind of exercise helps us be serious even when students might be telling jokes or laughing but we,  teachers, have to be focused on what we are doing and try to look professional and serious when needed. We also tried to keep eye contact with a peer as we walked around, this was harder than I thought! because everyone was...
