Hello, everyone.
How is the
teaching? This is the sixth week of our practicum. I am sure that each of us
has gained the useful experience. We not only get to know the students but also
know ourselves better. During this period, we focused on how to teach and
considered what materials could be properly used in the classroom. The ultimate
goal is to attract students’ attention so that it can help increase their
interest in learning English. What I found these days was that students like
colorful things in their learning process and they like crosswords very much.
So, providing more visual aids or crosswords in our teaching could be a useful
way to help students gain knowledge.
My supervisor
and mentor have respectively observed me once. They all gave me so many helpful
suggestions. My supervisor, Dr. Nanic, suggested me that I should try to
attract students’ attention immediately at the beginning of the lesson. Besides
that, she also advised me that it is always better to ask students to guess the
meaning of the words instead of explaining the vocabulary directly. My mentor
suggested me giving one or more challenging questions to the students, even
though you know students’ level is not so high. I will improve my lesson based
on their advice in the future.
Things will not
always smooth sailing. It always has various difficulties we have to face. During
the teaching, I felt frustrated sometimes and questioned myself. The things you
fully prepared students may not feel interested; the lessons may not be
conducted ideally. But, to the bright side, we can find our shortages in this
way. It helps us be stronger and stronger. The shortages make us depressed;
however, it makes us grow at the same time. Make our spiritual world more
powerful.
Besides that,
students’ final exam has started already. My job is to monitor the examination
(Form 2 students). When I looked at them, it made me recall my schooltime. Truthfully,
hope my students can do well in their exam.
Sincerely,
Wang Siting
