Final reflection based on the “Dimensions of reflective learning”

After finishing this second experience, I can reflect on some aspects to improve for the next project. First of all, I would like to say that the original aim of this experience was create a comfortable and right environment where students felt comfortable and motivated to learn. I tried to use L2 at all times and they understood me. All the activities were designed so that they could communicate using meaningful and relevant vocabulary.

Then, I can say that the objectives, activities, the use of resources and tools were coherent with a pedagogical perspective. Because of everything was planned taking into account the ages, interests and characteristics of the group I noted and talked with the teacher.

Finally this experience was meaningful for me due to the fact that, this was the first time I worked with primary school kids and I really enjoyed the adventurous. Personally, I am satisfied with the way I developed this experience because I could do activities that the children enjoyed and were motivated to participate. Also, the teacher gave me all her support and help when I needed. That made me feels very comfortable

The third class was great! Here we started to use can or can’t with activities. As context I chose Spiderman to talk about what activities he can or can’t do. They were anxious waiting for I show them the flashcards to they answer my questions. Then they played a memory game where they had to match the activity with the correct word. Here everyone wanted to win! After that we did a listening where they listened to me and completed the photocopy. They also wrote sentences using personal information.

Finally, they asked and answered questions using pictures in which there were missing information.

This time, I felt more relaxed but with a bit of fear that something unexpected happens. I started with a warm up and then, I presented the new vocabulary with more places. For example: cinema, fast food restaurant, pet shop, etc. After presenting the new language I make a game where students internalize the new knowledge with the old one. The aim of the lesson was they can tell how to go from one place to the other.

I did different activities in which the children were enthusiastic to participate and complete them. I noted they enjoy and like games. Also,  unstructured activities with flashcards or the board.

I had my first lesson with 10 children group. I was very nervous. I didn’t know how they would react to my presence. I also had many doubts about whether my activities were going to be attractive or fun for them. Fortunately, as time passed I felt more comfortable and relaxed. I showed the real places of their town and they became interesting with all the tasks.

I noted they enjoyed oral activities in which they had to answer my questions. Sometimes I realized that I had to repeat the instructions more than once or I had to use mimes because they didn’t understand what they had to do. Here the examples were very useful.

I love to see them so entertained. When the class finished they greeted me with a kiss. This was so sweet! What is more, the teacher told me that the class was beautiful. So I was really happy!

My second observation - 3rd year. Prism institutePracticum period: PrimaryTrainee’s name: Maria Jose Baez           Tutors: Aurelia Velázquez, Cecilia Zemborain.           Date: Thursday 18th, August from 14:30 to 15:30On this occasion, I could observe students working in groups. They use a photocopy about places in the town and some prepositions where they should locate places such as school and say where it was. For example: the school is in front of the supermarket. They practise a lot using different places and preposition. This time the teacher explained me how she would like I continue with the following classes. Finally, I went with a lot of ideas to start preparing the lessons, good!

My first observation - 3rd year. Prism institute Practicum period: PrimaryTrainee’s name: Maria Jose Baez           Tutors: Aurelia Velázquez, Cecilia Zemborain.           Date: Monday 14th, August from 14:30 to 15:30I met the group for the first time this afternoon. I arrived a few minutes earlier, so I could talk with the teacher about learners. She is very nice and offered me her help all the time. The class started on time, Miss Lila told them I am going to be with them some classes. I could see them motivated with the idea. After that, I watched how the class developed.There are 12 students in the level 2. This implies they need help and support to talk in English. The teacher uses English and Spanish during the lesson. Students were learning about the things that are in the playground. They use the book “Yazoo, level 2 by Jeanne Perrett and Charlotte Covill”. They enjoy working with this and they recognize the characters.The teacher uses games such as guessing the word with the correct image or they ask and answer questions about the topic. I noted that students enjoyed learning the language. They have a routine. Firstly, they write the day and news and then, they start with the tasks.
