SIXTH TASK


DIRECTIONS:  Based on the questions posed by Richars & Lockhart (2007) in "Exploring teachers´ beliefs", in your own blog write down you own:
  • Beliefs about English
  • Beliefs about learning
  • Beliefs about teaching
  • Beliefs about teaching as a profession
  • Beliefs about the program and the curriculum

Beliefs about English: In my opinion, some people think that they are being forced to learn this language due to the fact that  most of the countries in the world speak English. Furthermore, that is the reason while young kids should learn it from the early eage.

Beliefs about learning: learning is a process in which people acquire knowledge through some classes and some experiences in people lives. In addition, this process never ends beacuse we are all the time getting in touch with new things in life.

Beliefs about teaching: I believe that teaching is the output after doing input which is learning. I'm saying this because when we teach something, we must learnt it and then, giving this information to other people.

Beliefs about teaching as a profession: I think that if we add the word "profession" it does not change something. For instance, if some people teach at least one little thing, they are doing it beacuse they like the topic or the context. In other words, we need to feel pasionate to what we do in order to teach someone.

Beliefs about the program and the curriculum:  It is hard to answer this one because there are many things that I love it but also, there are many things that I really do not like it. I am not share some opinions on how the program works owing to there are some really bad things happening to the program and the head of the program does not do anything. About the curriculum, it is not well formulated to student's needs beacuse some subjects should be taught at the begining of the career and not at the end.

NINTH TASK - JOURNAL 5

This week was the first one in which I had to be hard with kids. On Tuesday, I did an exam for 602 graders and it was a topic that we were talking about for two weeks. Their scores were very bad, only 8 students passed. I was upset thanks to in class, they were doing well with this topic but in the paper, it was like if they did not know anything about it. When I was giving them their exams and I was kind of angry and I told them why I was in that mood. Surprisingly, nobody talked, nobody made any noise. As soon as I finished talking, I started with a new lesson and they did everything without saying a word. That happened with 602, but with 601 it was completely different, just 3 students failed the exam. With this classroom, I always can work without having any problem with their behavior. I started with the new lesson and they did really like because they always were asking for more information, for new ways to say something and how to make sentences saying something related to...

NINTH TASK - JOURNAL 4

I have to start saying that I hate the fact that I did not have class on Thursday because I did not apply what I have planned for that day and I had to do it on Friday and the time was not enough at all. The main topic of this week was parts of the body and, at the beginning I thought students were not going to like it thanks to this topic is too easy but, the result of completely different. Learners were paying attention and taking some notes, it was amazing because since I am their teacher, they have not been interested in some topics. This week, their behavior was not perfect but they improved it a lot. We did not have any discipline problem. On the other hand, I realized that I have promised that I was going to take to the class some games or didactic activities and I have not done it. In other words, I am going to use some word search, riddles and games in order to catch their attention and let them work as the way they want like coloring the spaces or being creatives. I n...

DIRECTIONS: Once you have drawn your visual teaching metaphor, scan the drawing, post it in your blog and write an interpretation about it. My visual teaching metaphor is quite similar to real context. I drew some elements of the music which means that mos of the things should follow a secuence to be succesfull. Then, emotions are really realible when we teach in the classroom thanks to we go through great moments and not the best ones so, we need to know how to deal with them. Moving on, the light bulb has a happy face. Why? Beacuse it means that teachers should have a open-mind to acquire new ways of teaching, new didactic techniques to make learning an excellent enviroment. As everything is linked to the heart, it means that what we do, we must do it with our passion, as if it is going to be our last day teaching, just to have fun and enjoy what we do.
