Second class with Intermediate I

I was really eager to start my second practice with this group because i feel really enthusiastic when i have to teach them. They look really motivated when I come to teach them. in my first class with them, I saw some students that were sort of shy and not willing to participate. I tried to inquire into why they behave in that way and I found out that they are afraid of using what they know due to their lack of confidence. I tried to move the shy students but before the class I approached one humble student that told me he felt fear of using his language; I told him that I used to have the same problem but I looked for a way to help myself. I started to talk a lot and to participate as much as I could. I sat in the first desk to avoid distraction. After all I told him, he felt confident and started to participate. I feel really committed to this group because they respect my work and I respect them as learners. They are really polite and thank me every class I teach.

In this class I prepared a listening and some speaking activities because I saw the necessity they have for using their language. They did it in a fun way and I encourage them to ask for vocabulary they don’t know. This class was more special because I arranged the desks in a U-shape and all the students participate. It was a great experience.
