Second Class at English Access

     My second class with students of the second year at English Access was cool. As always, I tried to do by best by teaching in a way Ss feel comfortable because that is important for the learning process and we know that when we try to be friendly, students are more attentive to the class. What I did this time was to start with a good atmosphere remembering what we did during weekend, making grammar review and some grammar practice, and practicing orally talking about controversial issues in our society.

     I tried to start as early as possible, but it could not be like that because there was a meeting and some parents were still there in the classroom talking about their children with the teacher in charge of the group; anyways, I started like 5 minutes later. On the other hand, it was nice to be in front of my students the second time, so I really admire their willingness to learn and participate; I asked them how their weekend was and I also ask them to talk with their classmates about it, and they were excited.

     To make grammar review, I asked students to remember me about it; it was awesome because they gave ideas about it, and I could notice they had learned about last week topics. I wrote on the board all the abstract nouns they remembered and then I wrote an example for them to state if it was correct or not; I did the same with the second grammar, which was about verbs followed by an object and infinitive.

     I also made students read some paragraphs and then talk about it. To do so, I made them get in groups of four and number each of them, so numbers one had to read paragraph one, numbers two paragraph two, and so on. Consequently, it was nice and I liked that part of the class because it became interesting when they were doing exactly what I asked them to do. It was going really well when the bell rang. This was the first time that time was not enough for me, so I had planned the activities and I thought I was managing the time, but since the class started like five minutes later it consume my teaching time as I had planned.

     Concluding, I can infer that not always the class goes as you plan it, and based on my previous experiences, I have to be careful with that. Besides, for my future class, I will take care of the time I use for each of the activity; I will also try to be clear when giving directions and CCQ. Moreover, will create more visual aids, and I will use an appropriate sitting arrangement.
