What implications do the author's ideas have on your identity as teacher of English?

Well, I think that language teachers have forgotten a little bit how really important is our job as language educators in the critical thinking of the younger people. The author's ideas have reminded me that I, myself, should not only teach the linguistic code or limit my practice in English by itself. I should teach to my students how to think and express by themselves by using the language. Of course, learning the code is important to use it, but I think that this text reminds us about about our social and cultural responsibility.

What implications might the author's ideas have on your lesson plans and classes?

Thanks to the author's ideas, I will try to remember that everytime I am planning a class I should no limit the contents to only English. The idea is to use the language to help the students express themselves. English is a method that we have to teach more several things, so in my lesson plans I would like to include any value or something I consider students should recognize and practice in their daily life.

My identity as an English teacher :)

In my pedagogical practicum and throughout my teaching process I want to be a person that respects my students and pays attention to their needs and interests. Also, as the reading said, I expect to develop my critical thinking further and think of education as a social practice that transforms lives and transmits knowledge about different areas and cultures instead of just grammar structures and the repetition of those ones.

Regarding my classes…

Although I’m still nervous and don’t have any experience in teaching others, I would like to be a person that motivates my students and inspires them to do better every day and explore their creativity whilst developing their critical thinking and communication skills. Also, I want to help them to be less insecure and participate at every chance they can without the fear of being mocked or criticized.

The more I have experience in the field, the more comfortable I’ll be at selecting the methods, approaches, and procedures that work the best with me and the context I’m working with when I have to design my lesson plans or when I have to do something in a sporadic way.

As teacher I need to be more critic about me development as a teacher, what I need to pay attention to, a teacher is not only the one that provided knowledge, but also more than that, a teacher needs to be involved in the class, the culture, the social and economic context, sometimes we are taught about how to teach in an specific way, like if we were a traductor or something and we do not realize that there is a lot of possibilities, different people from different places learn in different ways … that's what make us go further and do what it is actually called "Education."

In classes we need to be more productive, pay attention to the students and base on that we can create a plan to follow to let them learn better, we can try different things, as well even if we are teachers we are still learning a lot of things so we need to keep in mind that we can learn some things from the students as well, something that it is also important is the culture so we are not suppose to teach only the grammar, the words, the pronunciation but also the context, why the things are like they are, according to the cultural, social context of each place.

My identity like a future teacher

I want to be a calm teacher and a teacher who is out of the ordinary, because the role of a teacher is not only to transmit knowledge to our students, but we must look for diferrent methods and dynamics that our students have love for their studies and that we only achieve it by knowing our students, their context, the culture, their family and their reality, after that we could look for a method that makes their classes different and more interesting. On the other hand, I think that the role of a teacher is important because it's not only knowledge but also educates to be people with values which will help them in the future.

My classes

It´s important to know the previous knowledge of my students to be able to plan the following classes and the idea of the classes is not  only grammar , vocabulary and repeat. The classes should be more dynamic such as games, activities, songs where children are impregnated with the language with things that they normally like to do. So they are passionate about learing a second lenguage which will be easier for them.

What implications do the author's ideas have on your identity as a teacher of English?

First, I always believed that an English teacher should only know about grammar and some things about the culture, but it is more than that. The teacher needs to know about the context of their students and plan a class based on what happens to them dairy, and in my case, I need to start planning my classes based on what they know, what are they way to get focused on, their context (knowing more about the place I will be teaching) and giving them real cultural aspects about the second language I will be teaching.

About my classes.

I need to start being more real, like use always "a pronunciation near like a native" and teach them useful things, based on their needs integrating knowledge into society. On the other hand, I need to know about the context of my students and plan a class based on their way of learning.

# data[].attributes.body
I consider that it is really important to know the student's profile to be able to transmit the knowledge correctly, that is to say, if I do not take into account the context or the student's needs, I may know a lot but the knowledge will not be correctly received, besides it is necessary to know the student's profile to choose a didactic strategy in an appropriate way to achieve the proposed objectives or competences.

When designing my lesson plans I would try to take into account the context and needs of the students where the main objective is not only to impart knowledge such as grammar, pronunciation, but also to generate in the class a critical and reflective perspective in the students and in myself in order to transform society.

My identity as teacher

As an identity in my teacher training I intend to develop a critical thinking in myself, in my students and the context in which I develop, which serves to develop didactic strategies knowing my students from their realities and their strengths, curriculum, evaluation, intervention in the classroom and provide social transformation tools that allow me to strengthen my educational practice, pedagogical analysis and generate school proposals

My classes

Teaching other languages is not simply teaching structures, grammar and pronunciation, I should also plan classes based on what my students know, making them participants in their own learning process and as intellectuals in control of their thoughts. For this, it is necessary to create spaces where they can express their ideas, thoughts and experiences regarding cultural, political and ideological issues and to question each other, this creating critical thinking in them.

What implications do the author's ideas have on your identity as teacher of English?

Since I was very little, the hatred for the English language and the thought that it is a language imposed by society with which "supposedly" you are going to get a better job and therefore a better economic remuneration, has haunted my mind. Perhaps the reason for this is that I have had English teachers who felt that students' respect was earned by punishing them throughout class by holding large amounts of books, or by having their hands up throughout the class, or by simply pulling their hands. ears to pay attention.
I know it is absurd that after going through and thinking about the above, I am here... educating myself to be an English teacher; but the author reminded me not only of my motivation, but also of that one and only English teacher who made me think that regardless of bad experiences, the reluctance not to think that I am not good at grammar or vocabulary, or just the constant thought of " I can't", each student has their own way of learning, and that is where the teacher's role must act. Not as a mediator between information and student, but as an interpreter of the context and needs, and as a facilitator of learning.
That is my identity as a future English teacher, I may not be the best teacher of this language, much less the one who knows English the most, but I have something that drives me and it is to show that "if I can, you can too"; Many children, youth and adults go through what I went through and still do, and I want as a teacher to support their needs and support them as that teacher did with me in the past, showing them that each one learns in a different way and that a standardized test DOES NOT DEFINE who you are.
I believe that Professor McGonagall applies to my ideal of identity as a teacher, since she, a mixed-blood witch who from the beginning did not fit into her Muggle family (except for her mother), within her role as a teacher repeatedly supported Hermione to surpass herself (who is considered the prototype of a skilled and applied student), to Harry to face all adversities (who is considered the prototype of a student who does not excel in studies, but is not bad either), and even supported Neville by understanding his lack of confidence until he became the restorer in Dumbledore's Army (who is considered the prototype of the student with learning difficulties due to his lack of confidence). Regardless of her way of learning, she always helped her students according to her needs and context.

What implications might the author's ideas have on your lesson plans and classes?

Since I started this new professional approach, I have known that graphic design was going to be the most powerful tool in my favor. I believe that learning must be communicated through the senses, and graphic design greatly helps with this work through audiovisual elements, which can be applied to develop the 4 communication skills that a language student must acquire.
Creativity in conjunction with pedagogy, can lead to the evolution of traditional repetition exercises, in creative and even interactive didactics with which the development of the lessons and classes that come to teach, can be enjoyable for students.
This is what I believe the author was referring to when he spoke of "the alternative in training", to use our knowledge, environment and context to put aside the lessons based on a structure directed and dictated by a book, method or even institution. ; in investigating new tools and technologies and making use of these to apply them to the classes we teach; in leaving the fear of the unknown and applying our intuition to develop new exercises that always seek to help our student.

As a teacher, I believe that the ideas presented by the author have a key and important influence on how I am going to transmit my knowledge to the students by taking into account their environment and experiences. It is also vital for this process to know what knowledge the students have, their culture, their politics and others, which is the basis for an adequate teaching method.
on the other hand, It is important to emphasize the author's proposal, since teachers are not the only ones who have the knowledge and experiences, since students have their own.
l
Taking the author's methodology to my practices would be of great productivity, since the results in terms of the learning of my students will have a positive impact, this as a result of going beyond the traditional methodologies adapting my knowledge to the way they learn and this in turn will have increased as well as my knowledge, the knowledge of my students.

my identification as a teacher

Being a teacher implies very high responsibilities, also, it is very important to learn every day to be able to improve, one of the things that must be known when entering the work is to be able to identify the different contexts in which students are immersed, this is how you manage to transmit the different knowledge in an adequate way. as teachers you must also have an open mind because it is not only the students who learn from us, many times it is us who learn from them, it should be noted that teachers not only teach a subject, they also teach values, responsibilities, to be strategic, among others.

if a person wants to be a teacher it is important that he/she has passion for what he/she does, to generate different ideas and not simply to earn money because it cuts off the idea of education itself.

ideas for my classes

in the process of teaching English there are many things that the child has to learn, it is from there that I start from what I am going to do and how I am going to do it, children should not always be writing or reading, it is the job of us teachers to be able to improve and make the process sweet so that they learn in an adequate way.
It is important to emphasize that the objective should never be forgotten so that the students also want to learn on their own.

My identity as teacher.

Aside from identifying myself as a person who transmits content knowlegde, I must also understand that: I will learn with and for my students. There will be many occasions where they will probably have things to teach me, not only about my subject, but also about different situations in daily life.

* The illustration that I put at the beginning, could be a good representation on how I would like to be in English classes.

Ideas for my teaching.

In class, the teaching of a second language should not only remain a grammatical structure with different examples out of the context of the students, it should be linked to the experiences and interests of the students. For this reason, it is necessary to apply dynamics that allow reviving the culture of the learners and also that of the language to be taught.

In addition, it is essential to create an educational space where each student feels comfortable expressing their opinions. It is impossible to generate critical thinking in different situations without interaction in the space.

My identity

For me is very important the knowledge you want to share combine with the context, taking in to account the context gives you a first look what you’re going to face during the class, with this you have a great look about  how this class can be, my intention with the students is a very important approach not also as a teacher, also as a figure that students can trust, the idea of create not only an environment of learning that is very important also the idea of create a space where students can be free of share all they want to share, the class as a safe space of the student where they can be what they are also with all respect with he’s team mates and also with the teacher.

The passion is also involved in this role, as a teacher when you teach with passion you have the 70% of all because with passion the fluency of share all you want to share became easily, students will see that and they also create a commitment with you and all lessons will be a great experience for all actors of a classroom.

My classes

It’s important to follow the steps that demand the law and the school, the idea is to create a mix of all the steps of the school plus your ideas and creativity combine with context and the students, all classes created only in function to help the development of the students, not only a boring class with only lesson and lessons, also with little games or disruptive activities that show the students that study or a class can be a an easy and a funny way to get knowledge.

My identity like a future english teacher

My specific objectives and goals for education, as a future English teacher, is to transmit knowledge spontaneously, but first, I agree and completely share the author's idea and I want to share a quote that the author mentioned "I thought that teaching English It was an innocent activity that simply consisted of teaching structures, pronunciation, doing repetition exercises to practice such structures and occasionally presenting some interesting cultural element, without knowing that in several cases they ended up being stereotyped elements". The idea is not just to be "the teacher" (who only teaches traditional typical subjects). The real figure as an English teacher is to accompany the process in each student, to know the students and their needs. Beyond teaching traditional methods is to prepare students for life, as main agents in the different contexts of society, develop and appropriate the English language, as an important tool for their lives.
In addition, I believe that the main function as a teacher is to learn with the students, because the students will see the figure of the teacher as a support, and not just as the strict and traditional teacher.

My ideas in my classes

Have dynamic classes, not just write the contents, do playful and practical activities. (The idea is that the students begin to approach and appropriate the foreign language). Share what you have learned together.

Promote a comfortable environment and immersion, since there is constant interaction in the foreign language.

Additionally, as a teacher, promoting research will be useful to design new methodologies and what tools we can use over time in an appropriate and current way.

My identify as teacher

As a teacher it is always necessary to know in which contexts our students are developing, since these contexts affect their learning processes and their behavior in the classroom, so we must be aware that there are different realities and for this reason we cannot teach everyone in the same way.

On the other hand, when teaching some kind of subject we can’t simply allow it to remain enclosed within four walls, but rather that it transcends into the world of each of the students and becomes something applicable and recognizable in their realities.

As teachers we often close ourselves to the idea that we have an absolute knowledge, however each student also helps the teachers to enrich their knowledge, since they also have many experiences which entail different enriching knowledge, in this way I take for granted that we have to leave aside that traditional thinking of being strict teachers who ignore the realities of their attitudes and who think that they are the only authority and the only beings with knowledge.

My classes

I believe that the lesson plans and my classes should be more focused on achieving an impact on my students that generates real knowledge, since in general in the institutions are accustomed to simply give content without any purpose, so the author's ideas allow me to reflect on the fact of looking for a real purpose to the topics addressed in class can be applicable to everyday life and not just stay just another topic.

My identity.

As an English teacher, I intend to have a critical and humanistic approach. To have a critical attitude in cultural, social, historical and political terms. At the same time, I like the idea of the author when he says "Teachers should expand their ideas about language, learning and teaching" it is important to see education as a social practice and not as a training.

My classes.

To start my classes, it is important to know the context and the needs of my students. So, as the author says, I will build my teaching from the knowledge that the students have.
Also, I will understand that the curriculum that I follow is a set of experiences that help me to introduce changes in the educational work, in order to create my lesson plans with a critical vision.
