A teacher who taught me in the past

The last two years of high school I had the same teacher in two different subjects. He was my favourite teacher because of all the things he had transmitted to me and to my classmates during those years.

This teacher was one of the most beloved in school not only for his way of  teaching, due to he was always looking different ways of teaching for all to learn and understand the subject in an easy way; but also because he taught values about the family, friends and love.

He always said that tributes should be made in life: we have to honour everyday and every time the ones we love; he said that we have to spend time with our families, even one day a week; he told us to value all the sacrifice that our parents do for us to have a good life and education. 

Talking about his way of teaching, he always made everyone pays attention in an unconscious way: every time he was dictating or explaining a new topic he told a joke or said something funny between sentences, for all to pay attention, so, the person who was not listening, the next time will listen. For example he said "Porque debido, no Julio...." or "... las Normas, Mirtas, Andreas" and always someone who was not paying so much attention writes the sentence literally ha-ha... 

There was no class that you do not have fun and learn something. If you did not understand the topics, he explained you in a thousand different ways with examples of things that happen to us every day, and so everyone could understand.

In my opinion he was an enabler teacher because he taught the subject, if you didn't understand something he adopt the content of the topic to make you understand easier, and also he taught to make children better persons.

Every day, before leaving the classroom, he said "Good weekend, be happy and love knowledge”. 

Self Assessment

Before I started the teaching training course, I knew it was going to be more difficult and different than high school.

When I started the college I decided to attend all the subjects, but may be throughout the year I would stop attending the ones that turned more difficult for me.

The first month of classes I was a little discouraged with Oral Expression because the teacher reviewed a topic that I did not know (it was the phonemes). That month I was thinking of leaving the course because I didn't get the subject, but my parents insisted me not to leave the college and they bought me a Pronunciation Dictionary. They really helped me with that decision because I was giving the course up just for one subject and it was the begining of the year. 

On the other hand I liked Language and Culture, the classes and topics were interesting but I knew that the parcial test was going to be very difficult. 

Nowadays Oral Expression is one of my favourite subjects because in every class I learn something new and the dictionary in now my best friend. (haha)

I really enjoyed the classes but I stoped attending Language and Culter because of some issues I had in that subject. 

About the others subjects, I am going well until now. Of course I have some highs and lows but I am doing my best. I hope to continue in that way and pass all the subjects I am attending.

My experiences as a learner

When I was about ten years old my mother decided that I was going to study English. She wanted me to study this specific language because she said it would help me in the future at the time of searching a good job or even to study at college or university it would be necesary.
When I was about fourteen/ fifteen years old, I understand what my mother said years before, so I decided that when I finish the high school I will study in college to be an Englis teacher.
After coming to the college I didn't have so many expectations because I was a little scared of what would happen there, I was scared because it would be different from high school and may be I wouldn't be able to be at the level of college. But fortunately my parents always motivated me to do whatever I wanted to, and they still motivating me when I tell them that I won't pass all the subjects I attend.
I also thought that I could go to college to be a literature and language teacher if I fail the course of English teacher because I like reading books and novels.
When I finish the course I want to speak properly and fluent because I would like to make my own institution of teaching, also I want to teach at primary and high schools too.
I would like to make the literature course when I finish the English one.

English teacher trainning college.

I'm studing here because my father recomended me this college. He has a friend who studied in ISFDyT n°24 and told my father how was the level of education there. On the other hand I always liked English and all about this language (like music, movies,singers,etc). Since I was fourteen years old I've decided to became an English teacher of primary school because I like children of that age. 

I am very shy but I think this college will help me with that problem.

As a student I always try to be the most responsible I can with the classworks or homeworks. A bad thing of me as a student is that I criticise myself and I feel blue because of it. But I'm trying to change it.
