My teaching Experience

 

All students when we decide to develop a career as a teacher we could feel some scare about the working practice. At the same time, there are opposite feelings about the capacity to develop success in a class with the different problems or situations that a teacher would find in a classroom. There, it the important to develop a teaching practice when the students are developing studies to become as a teacher. With real students in a real situation, it is different from the position or the point of view as a student or as a teacher. Now I will tell you some experiences about my practice.

The popular saying, practice makes perfect. Teachers can grow if they take in mind that the exercise on this process of teaching-learning is going to change continuously and people that need to learn another language have different motivations or needs. When I was starting my online practices at the university I was thinking about my group of students, their level of English knowledge, and the difficulty to develop a class online. The moment already come and I had two groups of students, they were studying at the UNAD the same career with the same intentions to become English teachers. I had two feelings at the same time, I had the opportunity to develop my practice with English students of my university. And they could have a lot of knowledge and the class could be interesting or very difficult to drive. In this way, my big problem was that not all the students attended these classes or sessions. They expressed that the schedule did not convenient for them. On the other hand, I was worried about the internet connection problems. The second problem never did not present difficulty to develop the class.

The teachers need to develop a plan for class, design materials, prepare videos, made a lesson plan, and think about the needs of their students to achieve the goals. These activities make growing the teacher through time. The teacher must apply the knowledge acquired at the university, review some theories, and designed tools for their students' focus to achieve the goal of the lesson. Then, the teacher has to use a digital tool, choose the best video, prepare practice exercises, develop a strategy to use in class with the purpose to promote the language skills. But this teacher is a student and has to listen to their teachers who try to transmit interesting tips to help the new teachers to develop their class with success. Now, this teacher is ready to afront the challenge to teach other people who need help and company to encourage them to speak a new language.

The students are the most important part of this process. They are people of different places, with different ways to see and to understand life. But they are interesting to develop this class because each one has different experiences, they had appropriated the knowledge in different ways. My students were of different places and cities of our country with their own personal problems and with different motivations and interests to learn English. Some of my students are teachers in a town in small schools with little children. My students have strengths, some of them had a good level of English and they did not scare to speak in public. But there were other students that considered their level of English very bad and they decided not to participate in these classes. Some students sometimes tried to entry in class but when they saw other students preferred to leave it. I called some students and I invited them to this class, but they did not attend any class.

Concluding, with my store of experience as a teacher, I tell you I grew a lot with my online English class, I had the opportunity to know new people, they told me about their places and cities, I could know about their dreams and wishes, and some students told me about their trips and I know some of them are living abroad. Now I was thinking about the importance to develop teaching practice. The results are very important and interesting for me because I could observe some things about the language need to develop my skills, the need to learn to build teaching materials and tools. I could put in practice the planning of class and my fails are evident now for me. The classroom is the laboratory where the teachers have the opportunity to develop some interesting practices, also, we make observations, develop statistics, prepare evaluations and we can discover the opportunity to grow with our students because they are very important in this process.
