2nd round: Groups 3 & 4 classes

 Hello everybody, welcome back to my blog!馃懟馃挏


It's the turn of groups 3 and 4, which I couldn't be present due to my work (I had 4 hours of training, can you believe it?馃拃) But still, I will talk about the great job they did.馃拋

The third group started the class with a quick review of the present simple as a warm-up exercise馃挭. They then performed an engaging activity in which two images were presented and the students had to choose the one that best represented the action described by the teacher馃懆‍馃彨. In addition, they watched a video about daily routines and completed a worksheet provided by the teacher馃搩. The lesson included several practices, such as conversing with classmates and answering questions such as "What do you do at Christmas or on your birthday?"❓. To conclude the lesson, students formed a line in which one student would state an activity, the next would repeat it and add a new one, creating a chain and ultimately building a routine馃敤.



Next, it was Group 4's turn to lead the class馃搹. They began with a lively warm-up game called "hot potato馃," and the teacher provided several questions about their daily routines. To prepare the students, they briefly reviewed the structure of the present simple tense and provided the students with vocabulary related to everyday activities馃摎. The students then watched a video and had to repeat the sentences that were said in it馃棧. In addition, worksheets were distributed with a reading passage and several questions for the students to answer. Students then compared their answers with the rest of the class. Another activity consisted of students writing down their daily routines and then sharing them with the class. To conclude, they were asked questions about what they had learned that day, encouraging discussion and feedback.馃懇‍馃彨


As always, I imagine that both groups did very well, they went out of their way to reinforce the students' knowledge.馃挭

Here concludes this entry, see you at the next one, bye-bye.馃懡馃挋

2nd round: Groups 1 & 2 classes

 Hey, hey, hey! Welcome back to my blog!馃懟❤


And the second round of classes has started, and by the way, we have reached the last register (finally, whaaaat?)馃檴. This time my group and Maru's group were first, it was a relief to be first and we tried our best. 馃挭

Last time our class focused on Listening馃憘, but this time it was Vocabulary馃搼 and we taught the basic sentences or actions about daily routine and how to use frequency adverbs. For Warm-up, I had them play charades, where I handed out papers with daily routine actions and the students mimed to try to guess❓. Then, we went more in-depth into vocabulary and presentation, here the students learned and repeated the vocabulary taught馃懇‍馃彨. After that, we moved on to activities, in the first one they worked on a worksheet, and in the second one the students had to select which things they frequently do and which ones they don't, they had to paste the actions on the board馃. Following this, another activity was more written where they had to write their whole daily routine using the vocabulary learned and the adverbs of frequency.✍ Finally, for the wrap-up, we played Russian roulette where each student was given a piece of paper with a number on it and if that number came up in the roulette, they were asked questions regarding what they had learned.馃憖


After a short break, the second session focused on grammar馃懇‍馃彨, specifically the present simple, with its affirmative, negative, and interrogative forms. The class began with a review of daily activities and continued with a thorough explanation of the structure of the present simple. To make the learning experience enjoyable, engaging activities such as tic-tac-toeand a version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?"馃挵 were used, all of which focused on the use of the present simple tense. The class concluded by giving students a worksheet 馃摑 with questions for them to answer.


I think because it was our second time, we were less nervous and already knew how to lead the class, I humbly say we did pretty well. Plus, it's fun to do the activities and give out prizes.馃崿 And this is just the beginning of the end. There's more to come, so stay tuned and we'll see you soon. Bye-bye!馃懡馃挋

Groups 7 & 8 classes

 Hello dears, welcome back to my blog!馃拋

This time it was time for the last two groups, 7 and 8. Let me tell you a little of what it was about. 馃懙


Their lesson emphasized listening skills and covered numbers and classroom objects. They did an engaging warm-up exercise to begin, followed by teaching numbers and pronunciation practice馃懎. I liked it when they put objects in the presentation and asked how to say them, thanks to that I learned how to say "hole punch". To finish, they asked questions about everything they learned. 馃



After the break, the last group did their job馃挭, they led the class focused on reading. They began the session by conducting a sentence sorting activity as a refresher on the classroom objects. In addition, there was a reading activity in which the students had to respond based on the materials provided by the student-teachers. To conclude, the group asked questions related to the topics covered in the lesson.馃摎


And that concluded our first classes. It was a great experience and everyone did very well. I hope that the students will learn something, even a little bit, we try to do our best because that's what they deserve. ❤✌

But it doesn't end here, stay tuned for the next and last round. bye-bye. 馃懡馃挌

Groups 5 & 6 classes

 Hello there! Welcome back to my blog! 馃憖✌

It was the turn of groups 5 and 6, who taught about classroom objects, numbers, and the verb to be in negative and interrogative. Unfortunately, I could not attend the class because of my job馃拃, but that does not mean that I would not ask questions to update my blog.馃挮

Group 5 talked about classroom objects and numbers馃敘. They taught students the correct pronunciation of numbers. Their exercises included asking questions related to numbers, such as asking for ID numbers and telephone numbers, so that students could apply their numerical knowledge.馃 In addition, students learned about the objects in the classroom and performed an activity in which the teacher pronounced a sentence that the students had to translate into Spanish.馃槣



Group 6 focused on the negative and interrogative forms of the verb "to be"❓. The session began with an engaging game of guessing countries馃椇. Then, they moved on to teaching the structure of the negative form of the verb "to be" and provided guidance on how to ask and answer negative questions. Several activities were incorporated into the lesson, including a task in which students developed sentences using the negative form. In addition, they distributed worksheets to students for a collaborative exercise, during which they compared their answers with a partner.馃懌



That would be all, stay tuned because there are only two more groups left. See you later, bye-bye馃懡馃挋
