I think Didactics deals with the planning of lessons and different teaching methods that exist in order to find the most suitable one to apply in our future career as teachers. For this reason, I expect to learn a lot about the art of teaching. I don't think I've never had a meaningful learning experience but I did have a favourite teacher. She was a math teacher and I liked the fact that she was very sympathetic and understanding towards our circumstances inside and outside the classroom. She also was very tolerant of our mistakes and encouraged us to keep trying even if we made a lot of mistakes. Because of this, I'm not longer scared of making mistakes while I'm learning.

-Didactics is a science that focuses on how and what of teaching. It gives different forms, contents, methods, techniques and procedures to teach and to learn.

-I expect to learn how to transfer my knowledge to my students and how can I prepare my lessons, use useful techniques and strategies, etc.

-I don’t remember a specific experience where I felt I learned something significant. However, I feel that throughout my entire childhood and adolescence, I received lessons that have helped me to continue my education in what I love today.

-When I was 8 years old, I had English lessons with Miss Ayan. It was because of her that I decided I wanted to become an English teacher. Then, I have had her classes, but they were in Spanish and in TYPI, so I couldn’t enjoy them as much since I found Spanish easy and I don’t like TYPI so much. I’m really looking forward to her English Language lessons.
