Introduction

For the last few months of this semester I began one of the
final steps for my teaching career; I put on my teacher’s shoes
and I met a group of nine students who would turned out to be my
first class as an English teacher.

This portfolio gathers information about this final step;
personal and professional situations that occur while I was
teaching at Pan American College in Viña del Mar; it contains
reflections, evaluations and feedback about this process; and the
work carried out during these three months of learning and
teaching.

This is the final practicum of my career, but it is the beginning
of my professional life.

Lessons Should Be Learner-Centered

“With English language learners, the temptation to have a teacher-centered classroom
arises because the perception is that the teacher has the English proficiency the
students nee. Therefore, all knowledge must come from the teacher. However, it is
important to remember that English language learners are not deficient just because
they do not speak English. They bring a rich and varied background of experiences and
talent to the classroom. Teachers who follow principles for success find ways to use
their students’ knowledge, including their first language and culture, even when the
students do not speak English.”

This is an extract taking from the book “ESL/EFL Teaching. Principles for Success”
chapter four, page 90. Authors Yvonne S. Freeman and David E. Freeman.

Watch and Learn videos: Weta Learning Media

Looking for spelling materials online, I found you tube videos called “Watch and Learn”.
These videos are filmed inside the classroom and they captured effective techniques for
English teaching.

One of these videos is:

High Expectations

"When I talk about expectations with my students, they need to know it's not about a
battle with me or a score on a math test; it's about the rest of their lives. Every little
piece is a stepping stone to where they are going. Where will that turn out to be? The
reality is that their options tomorrow will be determined by what they can take from
school today.
Like it or not, they are taking everything I can give them."

This is an extract taking from the article “Creating a Culture of High Expectations” by the
author Cynthia Farmer.

http://www.alliance.brown.edu/pubs/voices/1qtr2002/highexpect.shtml

Differentiated Instruction (DI)

“There are generally several students in any classroom who are working below or above
grade level and these levels of readiness will vary between different subjects in school.
It is important to offer students learning tasks that are appropriate to their learning needs
rather than just to the grade and subject being taught. This means providing 3 or 4
different options for students in any given class (not 35 different options). Readiness
(ability), learning styles and interest vary between students and even within an individual
over time. In a differentiated classroom all students have equally engaging learning
tasks.”

This is an extract taking from the website “Enhance Learning with Technology” by P.
Theroux.

1.3Pedagogical Artifacts / Reflective Writing

Observation stage

I. Introduction
• What do you think the cartoon provided below is illustrating? Why? Answer briefly.

Misinformation. People who prefers to receive information from TV and the media, and
not check the reality of things by themselves. It is not necessary for them to look for
information, these are people who doesn’t questions what happens outside walls; to me
their opinion of things is not meaningful.

II. Reflective writing

• Taking into account the information you collected during the observation stage,

1. Reflect on the importance of the initial observation period in final practicum.

It is a very important stage; during this time we have the chance to meet the students,
their interests, background, knowledge and personality. With this information we can
create our lessons thinking about the students, and motivate them with matter of their
interest.

2. Refer to the observed issues in assigned school, and explain if these issues caused a
change on the expectations you had about this particular period.

One important issue is that the administration of the school is not taking serious by the
students. At one occasion three students arrived one hour late to class, and when asked
for a pass they decided to stay out in the schoolyard. The school inspectors did not took
matter in hands, and the students were allowed to stay out of class, hanging around in
the schoolyard. The lack of authority in the school causes problems between the student
and the teacher. For the teachers is not meaningful to call the roll or to annotate the
students because there are not consequences for bad behavior. I think school

6

administration is of importance to maintain order in the school.

3. How did you feel? Provide one example you consider most relevant to support your
answer.

During my time as an observer I felt welcomed. The students were glad and excited for
a change. They asked several times when I was starting as a teacher, I felt comfortable
and eager to start with my classes and make them more interesting and motivating for
them.

Team teaching stage

I. Introduction

I was asked to do a test and a graded activity for the students. The content of these
activities was primarily grammar, and the students were learning it for only two classes.
The students were highly challenged with the activities I created, even so, they worked
individually and a few students worked together and they completed the activities with
no major problems.


For what I observed in the first stages of the practicum, the students of this class were
not considered to be excellent students, due to they are in the lowest level of English.
They were not challenged by their teacher and their classes were mostly daily life
conversations. When I started doing my team teaching stage I informed the teacher
about the activities I wanted to do in my teaching stage, but his answer was “that is too
hard for these students, they will not able to do it”. With the first activities I created for
the class I was able to see that the students can do it, they are just not challenged
enough and they stay on a “lazy stage” through out the class.

For what I have red and seen in different educational websites, teachers need to
develop academic language and literacy. Teachers need to be committed to high
expectations and high standards for all students. Teachers need to show students how
to face change; life; difficulties; education; and how to face success. Provide them
opportunities for real academic language.

"No one rises to low expectations,"...

Teaching stage

I. Introduction

On the second week of November I arrived to school, signed my folder and walked to
the class. On the schoolyard there is a stage that blocks the entrance to the English
class, there are also numerous students outside their classrooms; I walked across the
yard and enter the English class through a second entrance. In the class the students
and the teacher stand in a circle talking. I enter the classroom to begin the lesson for the
day but the teacher stops me. There is a strike in the school. The stage in the yard was
to perform a goodbye ceremony to the students from 4th year of high school. An incident
happened and the ceremony did not take place; the teachers decided not to teach and
the students not to enter classes. The English class was in their classroom talking about
the events and people who may cause the strike; this conversation lasted all 45 minutes.
There were no classes that day.


This event was highly uncommon, during my teaching stage and as an ex-student from
this school I can say that this situation never happened before. A possible strike and a
day without classes in the school reflect the changes that the establishment has gone
through, and how different the students from these times differ from the students from
10 years ago. Situations do happen inside schools and classrooms, which may end up
in a day without teaching.
The conversation that took place inside the English class reveals how the students feel
about the school, its teachers and administrators. It was clear for me that they do not
whish to study and that they do not feel respect for adults.
I was able to see the changes of the students and teachers and only in a period of 10
years. This event helped me realized that I am going to be a teacher of teenagers but
they certainly do not think as I did when I was 16.

Task 1: The School and Learning Environment

Name of student: Pilar Escalona Requena
Name of School: Pan American College
Number of students: 9
Date: September 30, 2009
Class: 3º m

1. The school:

Pan American College is located in 1 North Avenue # 2065, Viña del Mar. Their
founders are Mr. Hector Soazo and Madam Nelda Rojas de Soazo. The school starts its
educational activities in the year 1960. In 1969, the first generation of students
graduates from the school, marking an important step in the history of the school. Until
this date, twenty six generations of students have graduated from the school.

The school offers students incorporation since kindergarten up to high school. Students
that want to be a member of the school have to take a Language test, an English test,
and a Math test. They also have to give a personal interview, and have a general annual
grade of 5,5 or more.

The general formation of the students is to:
• Develop artistic, scientific and sporty abilities and aptitudes.
• Orientate their values towards respect, responsibility, honesty, tolerance and solidarity.
• Develop their self-esteem, creativity and capacity to solve everyday issues and
troubles.

The school offers extracurricular activities, such as swimming, basketball, soccer, choir,
instrumental music, catechism and psycho-pedagogy.

Pan American College is an English school, therefore, English is taught since
kindergarten. Since 11 grade, English is divided into three levels, being level one the
lowest; according to their grades, the students are placed in each level. In elementary
school the students have fours hours of English peer week; and in high school the
students have six hours of English peer week.

In the year 2002, the school incorporates itself to the Jornada Escolar Completa Diurna
(JECD); and in 2003 it adopts a subsidize modality.

The organization of the school includes a supporter; finances; the principal;
administration and secretary; inspector; UTP; teachers; orientation; assistants;
representatives; parents; CCPP; CCAA; and students.

Pan American College seeks to form children and youngsters with proper academic
preparation and with solid ethic and moral values which allows them to be creative and
autonomous, with a positive self-esteem ables to incorporate themselves into superior
studies and ables to successfully manage themselves in our society.

2. The classroom

The classroom is located in the oldest building of the school. It is used for English class
(level 1) and for extracurricular activities. The classroom remains looked after class; the
English teacher and the inspector have the key, and are the only ones who are allowed
to open it. Since it is an old classroom, it is not impeccable; it has a broken window,
holes on the wall, and a cracked whiteboard. The students seat on individual chairs and
usually around the teacher’s table. It is poorly equipped; it does not have a clock or a
whiteboard eraser.
11

The students do not feel engaged, they do not take their English book with them to the
class, they rarely bring classroom materials, such as pencils, erasers and paper; they
rarely write on their notebooks. They do not study for tests; they are always late for
class.

3. The activities & resources

a) The teacher uses the English book for every activity. He usually explains an activity of
the book for the students to complete; or he writes and activity from the teacher’s book
on the whiteboard, and the students have to complete it on their notebooks. After
completing the activity the students give their notebooks to the teacher and he checks
the answers. The book used for this class is Blockbuster US 3 by Express Publishing.
Usually one activity covers the entire hour.
b) The resources the school has are English dictionaries, a datashow, a computer lab,
TV, DVD and a radio. At this moment the datashow is not working. When I asked about
technology usage for English teaching, my guide teacher told me that the computer lab it
is not in its best conditions, therefore it is not advisable to use. Paper is also an issue,
due to it is only for tests and not for activities, therefore my guide teacher only uses the
whiteboard and the English book for classroom activities.

Task 2: Student’s learning

1. The learners
The students are in the lowest level of English, therefore it is not a meaningful subject
for them; they do not feel motivated because for them English I is a relaxing time in their
schedule. The students have to be explained several times a subject or an activity
because they don’t pay attention, thus they prefer the teacher to do most of their work
asking him to do the exercises as examples.

2. Behavior during classroom activities
There are not any students with special needs. The students are encouraged only when
there is an extra point for a test, or a grade involved. For managing issues and
motivating the students, the teacher talks to them regularly about respect, responsibility
and their future studies at the university and the importance their school grades has for
their next studies.

3. Discuss the learning styles and levels of English in the classroom.

Observation scale:

Observations clear & well informed: not observed
Demonstrates understanding of social and educational factors: medium
Objective & factual information: Not observed
Evidence of active search of information: low
Use of English expression clear: low

Team Teaching Stage

Name of student: Pilar Escalona Requena

Name of School: Pan American College

Date: September 30 2009

Task Nº1: Collaboration activities

1. What kind of activity did you perform the first time you were asked for help? How long
did it take?
I was asked to bring two worksheets about Relative Pronouns. I had to explain the use
of who, which and whose. Later I explained the activities of each worksheet. After the
students finished the activities I checked the answers, and help them clarify doubts and
mistakes. These activities took one hour.

2. What were the students doing before you started helping out?
I started the class with these activities, thus the students were just arriving to the
classroom.

3. How did the students react? Describe the atmosphere of the room and the levels of
engagement in the room.
The students didn’t have a different reaction with me; they knew it was my time to help
the teacher, thus the atmosphere did not change. They followed my instructions and
completed the activity, asking me doubts along the process.

4. What other assignments were asked you to do? How often?
I was only asked to do a graded activity for the following class.
5. Were you asked to prepare any kind of special audio visual material learning material
for the students? Were they used? How effective were they?
No, I wasn’t asked to work with technology.

Task 2: Lesson Planning

Answer the following questions and explain how you planned the learning activities for
your students. Be as precise as you can.

1. How did you get the information for planning the lessons for your students?
From the students´ workbook, I also did some research using the Internet, and I search
for activities and worksheets online.
2. Did your guide teacher give you any suggestions for planning?
To follow the book.
3. How long did it take to you to prepare learning material for your first lesson?
It took me around 4 hours to create the learning material I needed for my first class.

considera la opción de tener un taller de Física con un profesor extra para que los
alumnos puedan subir su rendimiento académico. También se hace hincapié en la
asignatura de PSU Matemáticas cuyo profesor percibe poco interés y responsabilidad
por parte de los alumnos. En cuanto a las otras asignaturas, los alumnos mantienen un
promedio medio; por lo que se les pide a los padres más apoyo y responsabilidad.
•El rendimiento académico general de los alumnos es muy bajo. Estos dejan sus
materiales escolares en el colegio por lo tanto no realizan sus tareas en casa, se han
recibido quejas por parte de los auxiliares y profesores. Se pide nuevamente apoyo de
los padres. Los padres sienten que es responsabilidad del establecimiento escolar. El
profesor Fagestrom hace hincapié en el apoyo familiar. También se les habla a los
padres sobre la asistencia de los alumnos, y se les pide que los alumnos no sean
retirados de clases con tanta regularidad, solo en caso de emergencia.
•A partir del próximo año el colegio renovara el uniforme escolar. Las alumnas deberán
usar Jumper, y los alumnos una chaqueta nueva, dejando los suéteres de lado. Quejas
por parte de los padres ya que los alumnos y alumnas deberán hacer un gasto
monetario solo por un año más de actividad escolar.

del tiempo, atmósfera de la reunión, etc.)
La asistencia fue de un 50 %; hubo quejas por la compra del nuevo uniforme escolar y
principalmente por el manejo de los alumnos dentro del recinto escolar. Los padres
sienten que es responsabilidad del colegio hacerse cargo de sus hijos, pero el profesor
pide mucho mas apoyo por parte de ellos.

Class and Orientation Report

I. Datos Generales:

1. Nombre del Establecimiento Educacional: Pan American College
2. Curso: 3º medio
3. Profesor jefe: Ricardo Fagestrom
4. Profesor en Práctica: Pilar Escalona
5. Fecha: 26 octubre
6. Hora: 11:00-11:45

II.- Desarrollo del consejo de curso

1. Tema de Orientación: Se discute principalmente el tema de Puertas Abiertas para el
viernes 30 de octubre. Esta es una oportunidad para que los alumnos que tengan baja
nota en un ramo tengan la posibilidad de subirla. Los alumnos pueden elegir una
asignatura de elección y realizar un trabajo que será expuesto el día viernes. Este
trabajo es con nota y es una ayuda extra para subir su promedio. El profesor destaca la
responsabilidad que deben tomar los expositores, y el respeto que deben tener los
demás alumnos para sus compañeros; el espera que los estudiantes no solo tomen
oportunidades como esta para preocuparse de sus notas, sino que deberían hacerlo
siempre, ya que es de gran importancia para su futuro universitario.
Luego de Puertas Abiertas, el profesor les da la sala a los alumnos para que conversen
sobre su viaje de estudio para este verano y el dinero que tienen colectado como curso,
y para que finalicen los detalles para el desayuno que deben ofrecer a 4º medio como
despedida del colegio.

2. OFT cubierto: Responsabilidad y respeto. Al igual que en la reunión de apoderados,
el profesor hace énfasis en la falta de responsabilidad que demuestran como alumnos
del colegio. Las horas de retiro de clases, la falta de interés en estas, la no entrega de

15

tareas y la falta de estudio sobre todo para las pruebas. El profesor les habla sobre la
importancia de la responsabilidad, sobre todo para su futuro profesional que se
aproxima en un año más; y la importancia que tiene el colegio como antesala a la
universidad. También les habla sobre el respeto entre alumnos-as y entre alumnos-
profesor. Como ejemplo les pide a los alumnos que no deciden participar en Puertas
abiertas, que asistan como apoyo y respeto a sus otros compañeros, y que no vean
toda oportunidad de no clases para faltar al colegio.

3. Tabla del Consejo de Curso: Puertas Abiertas; Viaje de estudio; Desayuno 4º medio.

Teachers Meeting

I. Datos Generales:

1. Nombre del Establecimiento Educacional: Pan American College
2. Profesor en Práctica: Pilar Escalona Requena
3. Fecha: 07 de octubre
4. Tabla de la reunión: Promedios, alumnos practicantes, niveles.
5. Hora: 11:00 – 12:00

II. Instrucciones:

1. Complete la información que encontrará en el punto “I. Datos Generales”
2. Escriba los temas propuestos en la tabla de la reunión, destacando el tema
principal que la convocó.
3. Comente sus impresiones de la reunión. Puede referirse a:
• Aquellos temas que estaban en Tabla y no fueron tratados.
En si, no hubo una tabla. El profesor jefe del departamento de inglés condujo
la reunión. Estas reuniones se realizan una vez a la semana, así que el
profesor encargado solicitaba a los otros profesores la entrega de los temas
hablados en la reunion anterior; estos eran las notas y promedios de los
cursos de enseñanza media; la diferencia necesaria que debe existir entre un
nivel y el otro; y la inclusión de cuatro alumnos practicantes al colegio.
• Modalidad de la reunión. ¿Quién la conduce?
La conduce el jefe del departamento de inglés, el señor Agustin Castillo.
• Modalidad de Intervención de los profesores.
Los profesores solo intervenían si les hacían preguntas o si debían entregar
notas y reportes.
• Clima de la reunión (frecuencia de participación de los profesores,
situaciones inesperadas, manejo del tiempo, atmósfera de la reunión, etc.)
La reunión fue muy seria, duro exactamente una hora, no hubo situaciones
inesperadas. La gran participación fue por parte del profesor Castillo, y hubo
pequeñas intervenciones por parte de los profesores y los alumnos en
práctica.
• Varios (aspectos y /o comentarios en torno a temas educativos generales,
tanto a nivel del establecimiento como nivel regional educacional)

16

A nivel del departamento de inglés hay mucha seriedad e importancia por
parte del colegio, debido a que hay tres niveles diferenciales de ingles, y a los
futuros alumnos se les pide una prueba de conocimiento del idioma para
ingresar al colegio. Aun con esta seriedad e importancia debo decir que el
nivel de inglés de los alumnos es muy bajo; la dirección del colegio no hace
evaluaciones a los profesores de esta asignatura; los alumnos no están
motivados ni reconocen que este colegio es bilingüe.

2.4Peer evaluation

I made a comment in Sandra’s blog. She posted the learning material
she used for her classes. I found the power point presentation very
appealing and motivating for her students. I also recommended her a
website called ESL Printables in which she will find numerous
activities to download.
