*     I have a good level or knowledge of my subject area due to I’ve worked during some years as an English teacher.  I consider I handle grammar, vocabulary, and the four skills with a high level of proficiency, which it is important because I can transmit the knowledge in a correct way to the learners. *      I have respectful relationships with the students, that let them respect the class and be motivated. There were rules since the moment I was before the class, I consider that team work and respect let learners to have a clear way to behave themselves and with the class, in general. *      I consider I have good classroom management skills because of that the lessons begin and finish at the corresponding time, teaching the whole lesson. Most of the students behave in a proper way. *      I have learned the theoretical part of the bachelor in Arts of English, so it is important to have a place with students where t...

a) My  Teaching Journal It is divided into 8 sessions with the respective links of the session recordings. b) Two sample lesson plans that I liked and why I liked these lesson plans because they gave me the opportunity to know better my students when they were asked about personal questions IELTS part 1 and  describing pictures CAE part 2 was fun because they created and speculated about the images so their stories were great. c) Two sample lesson plans that were particularly difficult and why I consider that there a difficult lesson was the debate one because the students didn't know so well the dynamic of the session, they were afraid of speaking so it turned into a difficult situation for them and for me due to I want to help them but I couldn't. d) Samples of didactic teaching material designed by me. Well, I designed the cards for the CAE and IELTS speaking test in a ppt presentation.  e) The lesson reports submitted in St...

a) Characterization      The characterization of the students of the five groups is in the next link, which indicate name, age, e-mail, cellphone, occupation, origin, English level, interests, hobbies and expectations. Students' Characterization b) Achievements      I’m really happy because I could overcome the nervous I felt at the beginning of the encounters due to I’d never faced a challenge like this before. I had to be so strict with myself about the lesson planning, the activities that were going to be developed and the time for each one because the goal was that each student could participate in each activity in equality of conditions. After two or three sessions, I felt confident with myself, so I prepared all the material I considered I needed to conduct the sessions.  Finally, I consider my students felt great, they learnt, participated and loved these sessions because they had the opportunity to  practice their Englis...

     I believe that a good teacher has to look for the students feel comfortable and fond of the English classes, especially when the students didn’t know the dynamic because the sessions were online.      I sincerely consider that rules are so important for the sessions goals achievement due to the students can figure out that virtual session can be lack of activities or formality.      I also like to make the students feel motivated because if they are so, they are involved in the topics, they can come to the session in a good mood, with disposition and enthusiasm to participate and learn.      It is important for me to know the students’ different rhythms and styles to learn, so I can foc us on each one in a specific way.            I learnt that teaching speaking skills requires so much patient by the tutor’s part and a lot of discipline by the students’ part because they hav...

My great online pedagogical experience My name is Linda Yiseth Paredes Peralta, I belong to the last semester of Bachelor of Arts in English as a foreign language. This portfolio is a culmination of the work of three stages during the course pedagogical experience II, after conducting five courses on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I consider the space given by the university UNAD has been so important for my professional development and has let me practice the role as an online English teacher with the English conversation students, which offered me the chance to apply the abilities that I have acquired during my training period for teaching a class session.
