The student teacher summarizes their experience teaching two English lessons to teenagers. In the first lesson, they taught about leisure activities using Lady Gaga as an example and found the students engaged well though some needed more explanation. Most students acquired the new vocabulary easily. In the second lesson about prepositions and verbs like "is/are", the more advanced students already knew much of the content but all doubts were cleared. Students helped each other learn and a memory game at the end was enjoyed by all. By the conclusion, all students had learned the new vocabulary well, showing the teacher's satisfaction with both lessons.

Self-evaluation
Well, after my first recorded lesson I could notice that at first I was a
bit nervous, but the group is spectacular and it worked very well. The topic
to be taught was leisure activities. I decided to work with Lady Gaga’s
routine, as many of the teenagers are very fond of her and everything that is
related to her. Fortunately this group is very hard working, so teaching
them anything is a real pleasure. The class atmosphere was really nice, the
students were pleased with my lessons and the way I taught them new
contents, and they acquired everything with great ease. Some of the
students needed more explanations than others, but as the topic resulted
interesting for them, they really strove during the whole class. Evaluating
the lesson, I think it was absolutely positive, there weren’t any problems or
interruptions, I could explain the new vocabulary and students were very
interested in everything I said. I’m absolutely glad and I hope the next
recorded lesson will be even better.
I have finished my second recorded lesson, and as I hoped, it was
even better than the previous one. The topics taught were prepositions and
there is/there are. Some of the students, the ones that go to institutes,
already knew most of them, but sometimes they got confused with the
differences between in and on, or perhaps the correct use of a certain
preposition, but all their doubts were cleared without major problems.
Another thing I could notice in this group is the way they help each other
with the activities, I asked Pamela about this, and she told me that they
always are very solidary between them, and the ones who are more
advanced tend to help the students that have some problems understanding
the activities or the topics being taught. By the end of the lesson, I
proposed them a memory game, which they enjoyed a lot, so they want to
repeat it in the future with their teacher. The students who have some
problems understanding the language could catch up very soon, they only
needed a bit of extra help from me and they were able to understand and
complete all the activities proposed. By the end of the lesson all students
have acquired the new vocabulary and knew how to use it, even those who
are not that advanced, so I’m really satisfied with the work made in this
course.
