The first day of observation I felt nervous and anxious because I had to face a new
challenge to me in my course of studies. I want to know if I could reach all the objectives
and aspects that I had to achieve in this institution as a pupil of teaching practicum.
At the beginning of the class I spoke with the teacher of the course in order to introduce
myself .The teacher was called Mariel, she was very kind and positive to me all the time.
The teacher Mariela introduced me to the students, and they greeted me very happily and
enthusiastically at each moment. She said “Hello Miss Andrea” .I said “Hello children”
they responded “Hello Miss Andrea” they were very kind to me in each moment. And also
when they did not understand anything, they asked me for any explanation about the
activities that the teacher gave them. I had a bond with them very quickly without any
difficult.
The teacher of the course used different language skills during the class, for instance
reading, listening, speaking and writing. She used different resources such as CD player
visual aids, the board and others. She started the class with the greeting and she asked
“what’s the weather like?” She showed a picture on the wall with different weathers and
children answered how the weather was that day, for instance they said "It's cloudy”, They
wrote in their notebook how the weather like was that day .After that she went on the class
reading a short dialogue taken from text book about greeting a new partner called Paul
from a foreign country to the rest of the class. Then they read the dialogue practicing it
many times. After that children had to answer written questions in the textbook about how
to greet the new mate called Paul. The teacher walked around each table in order to check
their answers.
I think that I have to imitate the teacher of the course. In the future I have to be flexible all
the time stimulating my pupils to work in a comfortable atmosphere in order to feel
stimulated to go on working. Other important point is that they do not want go on working if
the teacher does not check their answers or to answer their questions .In addition I have to
organize my way of helping them to go on working. And also I have to pay attention how to
help them when they have difficulties in their learning period in order to stimulate them to
go on working with encouragement and happiness without boring.

In my second observation the classes started in the similar way that the previous class.
She started the class with the greeting and she asked “what’s the weather like?” She
showed a picture on the wall with different weathers and children answered how the
weather was that day, for instance they said: “It’s cloudy”, they wrote in their notebook how
the weather was that day .After that she went on the class. The teacher gave them a
puzzle where children had to jumble a dialogue about the greeting. Children had to have
all the materials such as glue, scissors and colours in order to work in each class. Children
did the activity very happily and then they asked the teacher to check their works. They did
not want to wait some time until the teacher checked their works because they were very
anxious and demanding. Some children did not have all the elements to work and they
started to ask for them in other classrooms. Besides, the teacher told them that they had to
bring their materials to do the tasks.
I think that I have to think at the moment how to solve spontaneous problems that can
occur in the class .For instance one child started to fight his partner because he did not
give him the scissor .The teacher spoke with them and solved the problem very quickly.
This situation helped me to think how to solve problems like it. When I watched different
situations such as bad behavior of some children help me to learn and think how to solve
different situations in the future in my classes.

In the observation number three the teacher started the class with the greeting and she
asked “what’s the weather like?” She showed a picture on the wall with different weathers
and children answered how the weather was like that day, for instance they said: “it’s
sunny”, they wrote in their notebook how the weather was like that day. Then the teacher
asked children to open their books and then they read a short dialogue about the school,
she switched on the audio CD and listened to it and then children had to complete a
dialogue form the textbook. After that the teacher told them that they had to complete
sentences from the text. Children worked a lot with enthusiasm and encouragement.
I think that I have to stimulate children to go on working with enthusiasm and
encouragement in order to go on learning the second language. I realized that it is a great
responsibility to me .I think I can imitate the teacher of the course. That day I did different
works of investigations with the purpose of improving my period of teaching. I love and
enjoy learning, working and teaching children.
