Team Teaching Report

Team teaching report TEAM TEACHING STAGE Name of student’s teacher: Fabrizio Araya. Name of School: Nueva Era Siglo XX!. Number of students: 29. Date: …………………………………. Class: 4 ½. Task 1 1.- The first time my guide teacher asked for my help, was just to interact with the students so they could be quiet. I started talking to them, asking about the subject, and how they see the English classes. From the very beginning I noticed that most of the students liked the class, and the teaching. After that, my guide teacher asked me to help him, by writing some exercises in the board, and explaining the students what they should do, while he was correcting some tests. They did the work very fast, and most of them understood my instructions and followed them. 2.- I started helping out when the class started, so before that, the students were just talking and walking around the classroom, as they usually do. After few minutes, the teacher asked them to sit down to start with the class. The first instructions were given by him. These instructions were about what students were supposed to do in the class, and of course he introduced me. After that, I gave the instructions about the exercises they should do. 3.- To resume how I felt with the reaction and the atmosphere, I must say that it was very comfortable and respectful. Most of the students had a very good behaviour, so I didn’t have any problem with them. Also, they had a good relationship with my guide teacher, there was a good atmoshphere and I couldn’t notice any problem. 4.- The guide teacher asked me to help him very often all classes, so it’s a very productive time. Usually he tells me some hints about how I must interact with the students, and how to teach the ones who have more difficulties with the subject. While he is teaching, I use my time by approaching to the students I talk to them so I can understand what they do or don’t understand. 5.- In one class, the teacher asked me to stay a while with the class, because he was asked to meet a couple of minutes with a student. In that moment, I proposed the class to play some sort of games, in which they had to write as much verbs in English as they knew. These was very useful to me, and I think it was for them too, because they could realize how is their vocabulary. I think it was a very effective way to make them learn more verbs in a funny way.

6.- To this day, I haven’t done any special audio visual material. Anyway my guide teacher told me that soon the class will start going to computers lab, so it could be a good help 7.- He is always providing me feedback, telling me some hints and helping me if I have problems with students. My guide teacher has supported me a lot, he has even sent me information to my email, about what we are going to do in the class, so I feel really good in this vise. That’s really different from my last year’s experience. Of course every time he help me, or tell me what are my weaknesses while standing in front of the class, I react in a positive way, always receiving his teachings and thinking how could I improve my performance.
