Webinar- Action songs with Marta  Szymańska 

Hello! In today's post, I would like to share my reflection on this webinar. In this webinar, Marta Szymańska mentioned that songs can be used as an educational tool. Some teachers may be afraid to sing in class but they need to remember that children know no shame, don't question anything. They only enjoy and spend a good time. When teachers work with children they should be fun and energetic. Because children are the best audience. 

The presenter also mentioned if you want to use a song in your lesson know the song you use and love it! Believe in yourself! 

In addition, songs are a good way to learn a language. The key point is that you have to choose them carefully. It is the most enjoyable way of teaching. 

Suggested songs:

Silly Zoo

Melting snowman

Penguin song and etc.

Thank you!

    Hello Naila! I also find the webinar very encouraging! It was quite enlightening for me when reveiled her trick - that the key to the success is the teacher who feels enthusiastic about a particular song. Thankfully, there's a variety of songs available on the Internet so we have a wide range of possibilietes to chose from in order to find something we enjoy!

  Hello! My name is Naila.I am from Baku, Azerbaijan.I had always dreamed of being a teacher since 5th grade. My English teacher has always been my inspiration and I learned a lot from her. I think the teacher is a very sacred duty. It's a great feeling to touch other people's lives and add something from yourself. Inspired by her  I got my bachelor degree in teaching. Now, I am a  student of the Graduate Program in Teaching English to Young Learners at the University of Warsaw.  I believe that this adventure will add a lot to me and my experience. I am very glad to have this blog and looking forward to sharing my all experiences with you <3.  Thank you!

  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...
