It must be said that in the beginning of the practicum it was quite a challenge to adapt to the school's methodology as they are not used to carry out normal teaching sequences but to plan and implement a serial of proposals regarding a specific content. Thus, I had to adapt this practicum task to the school's functioning and decided to prepare these six proposals of Egypt.

 

In this page I will share with you my final reflections on what I have carried out during January. First, some general comments on the proposals sequence will be provided. Then, I will focus on the strong and weak points and some possible improvements of each of the proposals. 

​

After having implemented my teaching proposals, there are few aspects that left a lot to be desired and that I do not feel totally satisfied: Although all the proposals' instructions were roughly prepared with visual support for students to understand, kids barely read them and did the activities by themselves. This really frustrated me because I prepared everything in order that they can easily do the proposals by themselves and with the little need of guidance. However, in the 80% of the cases I had to be there guiding and accompanying the student.

​

On the other hand, however, I can say I am very happy of their final results. I believe that the fact of having to do all my English proposals to obtain a final Egyptian certificate really motivated and engaged the students to do them. Besides, most of the proposals were very dynamic and manipulative and this also played an important role for the students' motivation. They were always excited and keen on doing my every week new's proposals and ,honestly, this enthusiasm towards learning made me feel extremely happy.
