First Teaching Practice in Advanced

Yesterday I did my first teaching practicum in Advanced (my biggest fear); even though I made some mistakes and was kind of nervous, the class turned out to be better than how I thought it would be.

I started the class a little bit later and with few students, but as the rest of the students came in, they were getting into the warm up activity; I could notice that they liked it because they were talking a lot and having fun. Honestly, I was afraid they wouldn´t be quiet or paying attention to me because I know this is a restless group, but the presence of licdo. Melendez helped me a lot.

Again, I made the same mistake when working with the PDP framework; I didn´t do a pre activity, but I´m sure that it was the last time, from now on I know I won´t forget it.
Another mistake I made was when giving the grammar explanation. It was a review of relative clauses, so they already know about it and when a I gave them the examples, I should´ve given them the opportunity to provide examples of their own, but I forgot to do so.
I had them doing a roplepay in which they were to use all the vocabulary they had been studying, and they did it well.

Fortunately, the rest of the class went ok although I wasn´t able to finish due to time issues; I would´ve liked to finish because I had prepared a good activity to introduce new vocabulary.

Of course, I hope to improve my teaching skills in the next classes.
