FIRST CLASS

DATE: FRIDAY, March 8th, 2013

OBJECTIVE: By the end of the lesson Ss will and T will get to know each other, get presented and practiced the topics “Greetings, the numbers, the alphabet¨

The day of the lesson began some minutes after the time we wanted to start. I was anxious to begin. There were fewer students than I expected. There was a group of seven students. They were from ten to fourteen years old. At the beginning of the class I introduced myself. After that, I explained the methodology we are using during the course. In order to encourage them to talk I started with the warm up. Some of them were quiet. Progressively the class started to be more comfortable. Regarding the proficiency, the diagnose told me that there were some students who knew nothing about the language. Differently, there were some others who had studied it previously.

The lesson was challenging for them. Nevertheless, it was not impossible. That’s why I took the decision to invert the stages of the class. I did first the practice and then the presentation. It was a step I took because most of them had an approach of the topic. It was introduce yourself. They did it nicely. However I presented just in case one of them had not acquired the structure. I made a distinction between the contractions and the formal way.

I wanted to get all involved in each of the stages in the class. That's why I just modeled the task as example and I centered the activities on them not on me. However, I should have smiled more and try to calm myself more, because I was more exated than them.
