Reflection about: how important is Planning

Doing a planning about how to do a lesson is the most important step to follow in the moment to preparete a class, but it requieres some steps to follow that I cannot forget, also is important too to know about the subject, the topic, vocabulary and to get acquainted with the material etc..

I think the first the first three years of this subject we have studied the grammatical subject but how to put all these things in practical at the school? So me as a teacher have to follow an order, a structure about how the class is going to be, knowing the students needs, think about them, how many they are and who the students are. Considering many aspect such alearning styles, maturity, learning trategies. I realized that is very important o consider allthese thing to achieve the goald of teh lesson.
Also e siportant too, organize aim, time prodecure, resources these are very imporatnt things to considerate when we have to do a plan.

In conclusion from my experience, planning a class needs time and knowlegde about what I am doing and why, because I have to know what and how I am going to teach, but I think with practice then I will be able to do a plann in less time because the practice make the master.

A problem in the class and it was solved

Helping the teacher with her daily work is absolutely a great experience ever because to be in contact with the children or young people, seeing how they are being taugh is active form to realize if I really want to be a teacher for the rest of my life.

Now is important to consider that in a classroom a lot of problem are coming all the time because we are human being and the impact of social interaction are going to be probleme special in a clasroom with 20 to 30 minds thinking different things.

I remembered a clasroom with a 5 grade, the Carabineros’s day they were overexciting because they were wearing their especial clothes, also they had a performance, in consecuence they didn't want to work, they stood up everytime, it was really hard try to calm their down, so Miss Edita decided with me to sing a english song, it was the way that the teacher could take the control over student again.

It was practical interesting because at the same time the teacher tried to avoid the stress from herself because it was early in the morning and she has to stay all day in the school.

Reflection about: Teaching English

First of all, I would like to say that today is very important to talk about how English has been developed in our country because we have to notice the difference between 10 years ago since todays. Why? Because we can realise that today there are a lot of knowlegde, tool, methodologies, which help us to be a good teacher.
In addition english education has been changing in Chile becaus English is teaching as a foreing language (EFL) but the idea is to reach ESL English as a second language. although the goverment is working to reach that level, there are some difficulties because of the fact that publics and privates schools have not the same system for teaching english.

That’s why, that our mision is to promote English class in English this mean with a comunicative approach, also they should motivated students about it for instance telling them the importance of learning English, because learning English is good for our society, for example internet has differents websites that are writing in English, so English is an important language that is spoken in many countries.
