Second teaching practicum

Describe When I arrived to the class, I saw that the students were focus on a reading. I could notice that when I developed the warm up, They really enjoyed it because I could see in their faces that they had a good time. The enviroment was completelly different since the first class, and I was happy of that change. Moreover; They participated more. although some people still being shy, I saw others that unwrapped in the second class. I used some pictures, worksheets, and a role-play situation since it was a review. The teacher told me that she wanted them to practice reported speech.

I think that role plays are good activities for the students because I could see that they really enjoyed writing their situations.Also, students not only use their own and new vocabulary but also they have the chance to speak that is something they really like. However; I think that some students are a little bit shy since they have to speak in front of others. two girls were working together,and I asked them if they were prepare to perform it and one of them answer yes and the other one said no. I think that sometimes one person stops the other one that wants to participate. I think that is important to let them know  they can do it, They have the ability to speak and to make mistakes is part of their learning process. To speak in front of their classmates will help them in the future. We can be in fifth year, but ifwe are afraid of speaking with others the target language, they will notice that, and for me that looks terrible.	Based on what I already know about reported speech I think that it's a good idea to make a lot of activities in order to make them feel more familiar with the topic. I saw that when I asked them to do the role-play, They used some ideas that I gave them in a controlled activity. They used that activity like a guide or a model. I used to do it when I was in intermediate and now, I can say that it helped me. Based on what I observed, I think students generally know how to use reported speech because everyone did a good job in the activities that I asked them to do. I believe that speaking activities can help student learning because they put in practice the vocabulary they had before, and also, new words for them. I saw that they used some words that I wrote in their role play situations, and it was amazing.	So, in the future, I will give them more time for creating their dialogues because I felt that time flew, and they needed more. In future lessons I will asked them to work with different people because I am sure that they always work with the same folks. Sometimes, it is better to work with different people since some of them push the others to work or perform their work  The next time I teach this lesson, I will use speaking activities. students really feel free when they are writing their conversations. In future experiences I will also include charts. Although it was a review, I think that I needed a chart to make their ideas clearest.
