REFLECTIVE CYCLE
CONCRETE EXPERIENCE
I know this group then I did not need to plan observation classes because it is a group with which I have been working since two years ago. It is a very
interesting group to work with, they are very responsible, active and interested to learn different activities. Most of the them have English knowledge
because they have had English in elementary school or because they go to extra English classes, therefore the activities, the strategies, the
methodology used and the planned classes are according to their knowledge. In this school we are two English teachers and both use a coursebook,
therefore the planning of the classes is based on the of the book´s contents that is what is planned at the beginning of the year in the annual planning.
I believe that the experience of working with groups that one already knows has its pros and cons.
First, because the students already have a way of working every day, it is an interaction between students - a teacher that is already known, they work
with great confidence, so having everything so planned complicates the handling of students' spontaneous participation.
I mean that one always plans a class plan, but this plan is not always fulfilled perfectly because issues arise at the time related to the subject that is
being learned that was not planned in the plan, and one as a teacher. he has to take care of it.
2. REFLECTIVE OBSERVATION
Taking into account the theory and strategies presented during the course of this subject, I implemented the English speaking during the whole class,
especially in the explanations, that in certain occasions, as to make sure that the contents were understood, I would reveal them in Spanish, during
these classes were only spoken in English.
Another thing that I will implement more is the used of ICT. In this school there is a projector and computers by classroom then teachers can plan the
use of them without problem and it helps us to plan an activer and quickler class, I don´t use them a lot then I think that I can use it a bit more.
ABSTRACT CONCEPTUALISATION
If I learned that the use of English throughout the class is a very positive tool because it forces students to pay attention during explanations.
The use of ICT is a very beneficial tool, I always use the cd player for listening but not so much the projector to watch vid eos, power points or listen to
the songs, this seemed very useful because it allowed the students to pay attention to another tool that is not the blackboard and to work with real
contents such as work with biographies.
ACTIVE EXPERIMENTATION
The uses of ICT is a tool that I need to implement more because students like to work with them and this school gives us the opportunity
to do it because it has the necessary tools.
Another strategy that I can work is to plan classes that involve students in real situation as videos of famous people or songs that they
know not only work with the coursebook readings or writngs.
