Third class with Intermediate


My third class
I had an extraordinary experience today. Students were late and I had to develop the warm up activity only with three students. I was assigned to teach all the modal verbs as an overview. The wonderful part is that the students had already read about them.


 It was a challenge but it was satisfactory to accomplish my class normally. Being honest, I learned new things when I was preparing my class and later I had the chance of shearing it with the students. In previous feedback, my tutor made me some suggestions that I have to implement when teaching grammar points. For example, he told me that when teaching grammar, I don’t necessary have to make sure if the students understood the explanation properly because we have them solve doubts during the practice.


 We all know that teaching grammar can be monotonous and students can get bored, so by knowing this, I tried to include some funny examples as I was explaining the use of the modals.
I sometimes laugh because my tutor points mistakes I make which I don’t remember to have committed. However, I appreciate what he suggests me every time. 
My grade also improved and it makes me feel confident to go on.
