My Teaching Practice Case Study

My Teaching practices
Since I was a little child I have wanted to be a teacher, then through the years I discovered that I wanted to be an English teacher. So, I have started to study at IPES in 2011. Now I have the opportunity to express and write my own experiences as an English trainer teacher at IPESCO. It has been four years since I have started this teaching training course and this was a pleasing experience for me. I always have dreamed of being a professor, and in my classes I have felt my little improvements.
I did my first teaching practice in 2013 when I was in second year; I worked with one of my classmates Cecilia. We practiced in pairs. Our teaching practice was supposed to be in a kindergarten school, but my teacher had some
I did my training in a private Evangelist school, where my partner Cecilia taught, so it was a kind of advantage to work with her group. We had only eight students: five girls and three boys. I must admit that with this group I spent three wonderful weeks. Children were so innocent and lovely. They participated in each class with a positive attitude and I could see their interest in the topics we were teaching to them. Although, we had in my own opinion a good experience, I cannot deny that some mistakes were made during this period. For instance, I made pronunciation mistakes and I realized that these mistakes were important due to the fact that we were students’ language references, so we needed to be aware of this. Of course I just needed to look for them in the pronunciation dictionary. Another disadvantage for me was when in a class one of the students did not want to participate in an activity; I was speechless, even though I had taught in primary for many years. Fortunately, Ceci knew how to manage this boy, so that later on she explained to me why he did not work that day. Despite all this, I really enjoyed this
This time was different, firstly because Cecilia my partner was not attending to the teaching course with me, and this new situation made me feel a little incomplete and scared, but I had a new good classmate Maria Jose. I can say that the practices were good. Moreover, Mj is a great partner and she had the creative part in our pair. The first day we went to observed the group, I have to admit that I felt scared because the group was very noisy, also I had the feeling that the teacher cannot controlled them, but I was wrong. After we finished our first observation class M.J and I discussed about it. Even though, we had different point of views, this made me feel a little more relaxed. During the first week of observation we had the possibility to chat with the students and asked them about what they knew about English, and for my surprise almost all of them knew the language, I need to mention that there were some advanced students, and these students helped their classmates. This group in my opinion was not just classmates, they were very friendly with each other, and this reassured me that it was a very good group. However, we had certain difficulties to explain one topic. We had to use our mother tongue in order for them to understand what we wanted the class to know, this moment put me a little gloomy because I could see in their faces that they did not understand, even though I thought I
