  Next, I would like to share some samples about my lesson plans, didactic teaching materials designed by me, and two videos of my classes to show you the work done during this semester. The lesson plan that I liked: Click here to check it out. I liked this planning because I tried to use a different way to encourage the students to participate actively through a group interaction using a platform such as Jamboard. The topic was "Linkers" and the idea is that using Jamboard, the students had to propose to their mates some linkers and sentences. Then, each one of them wrote a short story about any topic using the linkers and sentences proposed by the other learners. The lesson plan that was difficult: Click here to check it out. The main topic was phrasal verbs and the design was horrible. Firstly, this is a topic I don't manage completely and, secondly, I did not figure out how to explain something that I didn't understand to my students. I mean, there are indeed so

  During my classes, I had to face several circumstances: some of them were very difficult for me and others taught me to improve my communicative skills. Others, on the contrary, showed me the weaknesses and the strengths I have. Next, I want to share with you my teaching journal in where I show you my travel during these classes from the beginning to the end.

  During this semester, I had the pleasure to share and teach two groups of students on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The first group attended class at 6:00 pm and the other one attended the class at 8:00 pm. The encounters lasted an hour and a half in where the students had the chance to learn about several topics that are going to help them in the improvement of the language skills. Next, I would offer you a characterization of the students that finished successfully the course: Group A Name: Alex Santiago Hernández Céspedes Group: A Age: 20 Occupation: Student Where from: Granada, Meta English level: A2 Description: Alex is a smart student.

  What about my philosophy? My philosophy is very easy to understand: Give your best always, keep moving, and never give up. God is in charge of the rest. Sometimes we feel that we are not enough for the things we want to, or that we don't have enough talent or capabilities to reach our goals. But, if you think for a second, nobody said that it would be easy or that you would reach your goals easily. If you have a good attitude to face the problems and you encourage yourself day after day no matter what, maybe you won't be able to reach each goal but, at least, you will get something close to them . And what about my beliefs in teaching? Every teacher must understand that he/she is a role model for students, an influencer that encourages them to change their negative minds and attitudes, and a developed life project that shows students that they also have the opportunity to reach something higher than they imagine What I learned about teaching speaking skills? As a speaking tea

  Hi there, I'm Jonathan. Welcome to my site, where you can know me a little more and check out the things I do, have done, and would like to do in the future. Let me tell you about myself a little: I am a teacher in both music and English and enjoy sharing all I know with my students and, at the same time, learning from them because I know that each student is a singular universe with a world to show to others. I am married and have 2 little daughters that encourage me to give my best in all the things I do. So, let's see some about my work in the following post and, if you want to, you can let me know what you think about it. Welcome to my world!
