Classes by groups 1 & 2

Hi Teacher and classmates, welcome to the very start of our journey as teacher!

Today it was groups 1 and 2 chance to perform as teachers, they did quite well, and we all were excited to have our students for the very first time! Diana’s group was the first one and I liked from the fact that they took into consideration giving everyone a name tag. They taught greetings and the alfabeto. The way this group carried out an activity for everyone to wet to know each other was on point. It was very necessary since students might be nervous because they don’t know anyone, so I think these kind of activities are simple yet effective as icebreakers.

The second group was Eli’s. They had an unscramble activity in which students had to make sentences like “I am sad”, “ she is angry” etc.

Finally, students created a role play using everything they had learned.

Here are some pics of the class! :)

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...

Teaching writing

Hi there! Welcome back to a new entry on a new topic. This time, we´ll be talking about: writing! 🤩 Our last two classes have been more theoretical, we have had some nice exercises too though. In our first class, we rehearsed our muscles, drew some tracings, and practiced cursive and print handwriting. It felt weird, to be honest. 😅 I don't remember when I last wrote a complete sentence in cursive style I assume it’s been in years! I remember that coming back from virtuality, my hand even felt stiff! This is my handwriting in cursive and printing styles. 🤭 I am not good with cursive and kind of mix both. 😅 Then, we went a little deeper into what we actually mean by writing skills. Writing involves aspects like handwriting, spelling, punctuation, sentence construction, paragraphing, text cohesion, and register or style. We discussed that maybe for us, as Spanish speakers, we don´t have to struggle that much with handwriting, or at least not as much as learners whose writi...

Demos

Hello everyone! Welcome once again and to the very last entry of my blog! It’s been a long and amazing trip through different topics. To wrap it up, we’re going to describe Demos! We had presentations these past two weeks and I have to admit that I had a blast! I enjoyed watching my classmates and friends doing their best and I certainly learned from them. Everyone was so creative and dedicated when it came to preparing their activities. I loved all of them and I’m pretty sure there are quite good future teachers in our classroom! 1. This was the first group. They presented activities to rehearse listening. To begin with, they passed a listening test. We had to pay close attention to answer correctly, but to be honest, it was quite easy, because it was meant for basic or intermediate students. That is the cool thing about activities to train the four macro skills, you can adjust them according to your class needs, interests and of course, levels. Then, the...
