Although, little by little I have gained confidence in
the use of Google Hangouts, I have made small
mistakes regarding the use of platform tools (Today
I did not record I recorded the session). This is a very
participative andattentivegroupandwhatsurprisesme
the most is that I have a student of 63 years of age and
he is the smartest of the class, as it is said so old parrot
if he learns.

On the other hand, the students say they do not
listen or see the image that I share, which makes it
difficult for them to participate and the quality of
the meeting. I do not know whether to judge him
on the side of the shyness of the student or the
consistent use of the tool.

Today Google Hangouts platform introduced some
changes, which forced me to use Skype with the A7
group as a second alternative; consequently I have
not video evidence.
Although,frommypointof viewSkype offersbetter

For the second group, the platform Google
Hangouts worked correctly.
On the other hand, There is something that worries
me, the participation in group B8 has decreased,
today only 3 students attended. I think it is
advisable to look for fun alternatives and
motivational videos.
7 23/03/2018 A 6 Interview
?v=8rUmZxGEEbo 1:13
This is the group with the highest participation, the
students are very motivated, and despite being a
group with a quite abnormal characterization card
(I say this for the ages of the participants that range
from 17 to 63 years old). You can also detail the
experience of some students because they have
attended English programs with other institutions,

which gives them confidence and security to
pronounce and build sentences.

?v=IOEbUJDHnrY 1: 20
This is the group with the lowest participation,
although I make contact with students using
different media (Skype, Whatsapp, email, cell
phone (which always turn off at the time of the
meeting) students always look for excuses to justify
their absence
On the other hand, it is remarkable the growth in
confidence and security that students who attend
the meetings have gained.

This is the group with the greatest participation; I
believe that all are coupled to the rhythm and
issues that are being addressed. I think that, for the
next meetings, I have to take into account the
review of the resources designed, because with this
group the intention was to solve the activity in a
more group way because of the effects of the
sound could not be carried out in this way.

in the meetings, and motivate them to attend the
meetings, at the time of the meeting there is
always an excuse: illness, bad internet signal,
between others. However, those who have
attended show that they feel comfortable with the
activities and see them as very useful for their
growth as future teachers.

exercises
?v=zRMD-JFZ3hc 1:26
Little by little the students of this group, they gain
confidence to speak and express their ideas in
meetings. Today, perform some reading exercises
to which the students responded quite well. Some
of them surprised me by checking their reading one
and two these seemed to have a slight
improvement.

Today encompasses a large part of the
programmed exercises; attendance at this meeting
was massive, which I liked very much. I believe that
little by little the students are gaining confidence
regarding the question and answer methodology
that has been implemented during these sessions. I
was very struck by my student Manuel, despite
being the oldest of the group usually always risk

Today, I was surprised to see that only one of my
students had attended this meeting, as many of my
students excused themselves saying they were sick,
that they were overworked or that there was no
electricity in their territory. I do not know, this
group always presents different excuses, even
though I have spoken with them directly through
the cell phone and they say they understand the
importance of Speaking meetings, I feel that they
do not consider relative in total score assigned to
the meetings, because in a comment made by one
of them, let me know that 80 points were not

that's why I did not attend.

Today the assistance in this group was massive, we
even added a new student, which is very good, but
nevertheless I think that when there are so many
staff sharing the same scenario no matter how
much you try to give participation to all, you realize
final that some students participate in smaller
amount, either by the quality in the service
(difficulties and audio and speed) or by the lack of
time to do it. I believe that for a more personalized
learning that encompasses the individual in all his
opportunities for expression, encounters with
fewer individuals are necessary.

Today for me, this meeting was too heavy, due to
the winter, the internet got very slow and the links
for didactic resources and topics (using YouTube, or
other online sources) was almost impossible, which
forced me to improvise questions, activities on
more than one occasion, which made me feel
confused and tempted to end the meeting
immediately.

Today the test was applied in pairs, I must
emphasize the commitment of all to attend and
achieve a high score in this first session of the final
exam, I must highlight the progress of some
students, as well as detail with great uncertainty
how some have not achieved the achievements
proposed.

Exam Final

=U&video_id=-g2OhflzTKU 2:52
Today the second part of the final exam was
applied, which was done by groups (3 members),
so I could observe in the attitude of my students,
this session was much more complicated than the
first one, because many of them stayed in silence in
some sessions of the exam, situations that worry
me, because when a teacher applies a test not only
their students are evaluated, but also the teacher;
The satisfaction of the achievement of students'
achievements is also an indicator of the quality of
the whole process.

evaluation

Today the students evaluated their learning
process, they made the memory of their efforts,
achievements, and learning, I am very proud to see
how they all appreciate my accompaniment, not
only in the sessions but also through Whatsapp and
email. Today I say goodbye to this process with
great satisfaction, because there were many
lessons learned from these sessions in Speaking, I
took up past issues, vocabularies, other
experiences that will surely be very useful for my
teaching.
