Our tutor demonstrated how to teach a new bit of language in a class. Learnt how to "Elicit" vocabulary from the class by giving prompts, visuals etc. Lots of repetition, drilling, practising etc. I must say our tutor is really really good & energetic!
Had my first teaching practice today - introductory lesson. In a group of 5 other trainee teachers. Took turns getting the students do a bit of a speaking activity. Mine was to get the students to come up with a list of 5 questions to ask the teachers - to get to know them better.
Was rather nervous, but was a fair first attempt. Lots to improve on, but was generally quite happy. Lesson for me to take home - be more forth right / create more of a presence in the class. A little too "polite" & "nice", have to take charge a little bit more.
Thank God I don't have to teach tomorrow, so have extra time to prepare for my next lesson on Thurs.
