Monday - 3pm - 4pm
Tuesday 2pm - 3pm
Wednesday 3pm - 4pm
Despite the obvious nerves from meeting three new groups of students, plus trying to implement my newly created six week mini course... It went really well, I enjoyed the experience immensely.
Monday was a gentle introduction, particularly as only two students had remembered to attend. Despite that, the session was productive and I was heartened to see even the most inexperienced student pick up some new skills and try them out.
Tuesday and Wednesday presented a different challenge, especially Tuesday where I was faced by a group of fifteen students. Learning all the names is going to tricky, but I believe that by making an effort to use the names repeatedly they'll stick in the old grey matter.
From the comments the students made, it would appear that the first week was enjoyable and informative for them, I hope they continue to feel as enthused.
Areas for improvement :
On the Tuesday I had the opportunity to receive some feedback from Michelle. She expressed an appreciation for my class and felt it progressed well, at a good pace with the early stages of a tutor and student rapport developing.
Michelle encouraged me to give more attention to the assessment element of the class - make the objectives more visible, and give more time to revisiting these at the end of the lesson. She felt that students having the opportunity to practice again the language that they are learning, would build greater self confidence and give them satisfaction from achieving something new.
