reflective teaching

* Beliefs about English: For me, English is the language that almost everyone is now using to communicate with other people from abroad. I think the importance of learning a new language is that you can learn about new cultures, know a little more about other countries. *Beliefs about learning: the learning is constant, one as a teacher learns all the days of his students, in the classroom, in the experience every day. I believe that learning English with our students must be very dynamic so that they feel the importance of English in their lives because if we teach them in a boring or traditional way they will not learn anything. *Beliefs about teaching: In this part, I think it is essential to know how to teach and one as a teacher does everything possible for students to learn or take into account that the material is important for their lives later on. *Beliefs about teaching as a profession: I believe that to study this career the profession must want to do things, w...

According to Bartlett in this book "Teacher Development through Reflective Teaching" during the classes, I had to notice some possible solutions to get improve the class based on this book.   I took into account some elements of the cycle for this process to implement a solution in reflective teaching.  * Mapping:  I analyzed that these teenagers rarely participated when the teacher did exercises or something like that. I looked that most of them felt afraid because they did not have enough vocabulary and also because they felt afraid by the teacher. I think about a plan to change their minds but I need to take some note about the things that I observe during the classes and think in dynamic games so they can feel that can participate without feeling afraid. *Informing:   I had to talk to my advisor and he told me that I would implement dynamic classes as they feel good and they do not feel that my classes would different and they will feel comfortab...
