Challenges/ aims and final conclusion Challenges I have faced in my experience and my aims. When I was in the experience, I had difficulty in choosing the appropriate materials for the course. But over time I got over it. During this time, I exchanged ideas with my groupmates and teachers. I got ideas from them. Final conclusion First of all, I have to say that I loved the school where I was in experience, my students and my mentor teacher. At the beginning it was very difficult to adapt but with the help of my students and teachers I overcame all my fears. I learned how to design better lesson plan and ho to work with students. I could say I succeeded and feel happy. Naila

Attitudes towards students and practicum. Attitude toward students Personally, I'm a shy person. Despite having a few years of experience in teaching, I always suffered from this characteristic weakness and I always tried to hide it. From what I have observed and my own experience, I can say that there should be basic rules in the classroom and both teachers and students should follow this rule. Otherwise, there will be no mutual education and respect. Before I started my experience at school, I had a fear inside me. I wonder if the kids will love me, will I be able to do it? As long as I was in the experience, I tried to approach children with love. Fortunately, the children also liked me and they were eager to participate actively in my lessons. I was able to see each student's weaknesses, strengths, interest and so on. And I tried to design my lessons accordingly, taking these features of them into consideration. Attitude toward practicum Teaching is a job ...
Me as a teacher Teaching is a life-long journey that never ends and is constantly renewed. It is a job that requires hard work and patience as you move on. I would say, if a teacher loves his/her job very much and does it with love, it is not difficult for him/her. Working with students and being in constant communication with them is a development for both teachers and students. A good teacher can not teach and inspire students without being a learner. One of the questions frequently given to teachers is “Don't you get bored” or “Is it not difficult?”. Of course, like any profession, teaching has its challenges. I understand that students actively develop and modify their own knowledge based on earlier learning and experiences. Students are different and they do not learn in the same way and same pace. As a teacher, I feel it is my duty to diagnose students' interests, abilities, and prior knowledge. A good teacher, in my opinion, must also be aware of motivation and t...
Teaching practice - 6 Teaching materials Hello, I will talk about Teaching Materials. It is a fact that the teaching materials used in online lessons and in classroom lessons are different from each other. The teacher can keep the teaching materials the same, but this will not be effective. Online lessons are boring and difficult for children to get used to, if the teacher keeps the materials the same, the students' interest in the lesson may be lost. So, the teacher should be careful. As far as I have observed online and classroom lessons, the teacher uses different materials in online lessons. Because, just like in the classroom, it can be a little impossible and very boring in online classes to teach from a book. In order not to distract the students, the teacher was trying to prepare different activities related to the subject they were working on. During this time, I realized that the selection of teaching materials is very important and the tea...
Teaching practice -5 Student and teacher talk Hello again! Today, I would like to write about teacher and student talk during the lesson. Teacher and student conversation is different from online and classroom lessons. The reason for this is that the students are young and difficult to control. If the teacher allows them to talk to each other uncontrollably, then they can talk additional things from the lesson during this time and this may affect the lesson negatively. That's why the teacher reduces the student-student and student-teacher conversation to less in order to control it during the online lesson. During the lessons in the classroom, I saw that the teacher was more interested in this point. She creates space for students to talk as much as she can. Student-Student and Teacher- Student interaction is the most important thing in the class, it help to improve their speaking skill. Naila
Teaching Practice-4 Instructions Hello everyone! I will write about the instructions which make the lessons more effective. The instructions which are given by teachers should be clear. As far as I observed, the teacher's instructions were direct and clear. The class I observed was the 4th class. Their English level was quite good and had no trouble understanding the instruction. Of course some of them have difficulty to understand. Only in that case, the teacher uses Language 1. It was difficult for me because I do not know Polish. That is why I was asking for help from the teacher. The instructions given by the teacher are more difficult to understand in online lessons. The reason for this may be the students' lack of attention, problems with the internet connection. Considering these, the teacher was trying to give more detailed and visual instructions. She tried to create relaxed environment for children in order to encou...
Teaching practice-3 Classroom management Today I am going to write with you about classroom management, which is difficult for online classrooms but very important for the classroom in general. During online lessons, it is very difficult for children to sit still, pay attention to the lessons, and be managed by the teacher in front of the screen. Because there are many objects in their room to distract them. Therefore, to supervise them, the teacher always asks the children to keep their cameras on. At the same time, parents should control their children from home frequently. One of the things I observed in the lessons and liked the most was that the teacher had basic rules. Although the lessons are online, the teacher follows these rules and the children have no difficulty because they know these rules. It was difficult for children to adapt to the online lesson, but the lessons were very good. Naila To sum up, the teacher did great job.
