Today was my first class in Intermediate English group.I recieved what I was supposed to teach some days before. I saw that I had to teach the grammar part. I was not so worry about it because for me the topic was easy. I t was past progressive :-). I read as I much as I could about it and I also studied the grammar notes that the teacher provided me on the lesson plan. Since it was the first class with this group I was nervous as always. I started the class with a warm up acording to the past progressive theme but I dont know what happened that the students were not doing the things as they were supposed to. I was wondering what was going on. I didn`t know if it was that I didn`t explain correectly or they didn`t understand english so well.
They finished the activity but I was not satisfied with it and at the end when I recieved the feedback the teacher told me that I didn`t make sure they had understood, so I realised it was MY mistake. I continued with the rest of the class and it flowed so natural that I felt happy. There`s only one difficult thing and it is that the students love tospeak spanish. It is a big problem I tried to make them to speak english but they seem like if they do not care about it. Im getting ready for next class to try new things to help them to forget spanish at all. I hope I will do better because now I know which my mistakes are and I will try to improve them.
