ORGANIZING FOR INSTRUCTION

HOW DO YOU FOCUS ON INSTRUCTION?

Well, as my teacher works based on a book called everything 1B so I work based on it.

As I said I work based on the book that my teacher uses but making some changes I think are more appropriate for students understand in a better ways, so I focus instruction based on the book but developing my activities in different ways.

HOW DO YOU MAXIMIZE INSTRUCTIONAL TIME?

Every class I develop I try that all my students work based on my lesson plan not just working on the book so I ask them to write what I teach on their notebooks.

At the beginning of the class I greet students, and then I ask them how they feel at that moment. After that I develop my warm-up trying that all my students participate on it.

I always ask them about the last class, I mean I develop a feedback to know if they remember something about the last class.

If I have to teach a new topic I explain it or if I have to continue teaching the same topic I do it. I ask students to work on the exercises I assign them and at the end I assign them homework.

 HOW DO YOU EXPECT STUDENTS TO SUCCESS IN YOUR CLASSES?

 I expect my students to success in many areas for example in writing, listening, speaking and in reading because sometimes they have problem with one of them so I expect and I help students to solve all kind of problem they can have with one of these skills. When they have grammatical problems I help them to solve it. Also, I expect all of the students learn in an easy way so I search the sources can help students to learn easier.

HOW DO YOU PLAN AND PREPARE FOR INSTRUCTION?

I plan and prepare my sources in advance because when you as a teacher do it, it helps you to teach in an easy and in effective way. So I prepare my teaching in advance by searching information, planning the class, choosing pictures to teach better.

When you plan and prepare your classes you have some advantages for example:

Ø      You teach better

Ø      You don’t waste your time

Ø      You can clarify doubts easier

Ø      Effective teaching

DO YOU MAKE LAST-MINUTE CHANGES WHEN THINGS ARE NOT WORKING?

Yes, I do, I make some changes when the activities I assign are not working.

BASED ON WHAT PREMISES HAVE YOU MADE SUCH CHANGES?

When activities are not working I made some changes with something that comes to my mind at the moment in other cases, most the time I have a plan B which I apply when one my tasks is not working.

DID THEY WORK?

Yes, they did, most the time they work because when a task is not working and I’ve made some changes they got me better results.
