A daily lesson plan will help or guide the teacher to what is going to be covered during the class. Lesson plans are really important because they help us being clear on what we want to teach. It also help us being ready to cope in case that something happen. For example a teacher got sick today and I had to cover all her class and thanks to her lesson plan I was able to develop the class 


When designing a lesson plan, teachers must take into account the objectives set to be achieved, this will be helpful in the development of the class. The materials and activities that the students will be doing in class are a paramount part of the lesson plan as well as the time. The teacher should know how to manage the time on the lesson plan because in that way you have control of the time in class to teach each subject

Teaching with goals and having different methods will walk us through the course success! By setting goals at first, will allow us to have a guidance  for implementing new and also known methods in the classroom.


I would say that the communicative language teaching and learnercentered instruction approach is really interesting and one of my favorites because it covers all the needing steps to make the teachers and the students talk, there are also listening activities, and reading passages, which with daily practice will contribute to improve  their communication skills

There are many methods that we can take into account when teaching english. Some projects such as portfolios, allow us (the teachers) to track the personal development of our students throughout the course


On the other hand, we can apply different teaching styles which will help us with the different learning methods because not all the students learn the same way


By planning the lessons with enough time and dedications, considering all the tips and materials to develop a class properly will be the master key to an effective learning and in that way we will be reaching our goals

The idea of videotaping a professor when teaching is great for me. Not only because you can get feedback and learn from mistakes but it makes you to grow professionally and as a person


Also, we will be able to identify our strengths and weaknesses of the lesson that has been videotaped. By doing that we can realise what we can change and/or improve from our lessons. 

My philosophy

My philosophy as a teacher is to become a facilitator in the classroom, learn from my mistakes and become a better person and a professional at the same time. Teaching may result very difficult because is not that easy as people think. Teaching involves many characteristic and challenges in order to accomplish what we want the students to learn.


First of all, we have to focus on the student's background, learn from their culture and where they come from, after that we have to focus on their learning style, not all the students learn in the same way. The teaching style that a professor uses in the classroom, helps to engage students while addressing each child's learning style and ability.


In my opinion, my teaching style has a mix of everything, it has different teaching methods and techniques that help me to teach in a propper way. The constructivism, for instance, is the one that teacher uses most, because it is about learning by doing, and it has been shown that students react in a positive way to this apporach. As a teacher you cannot apply only one teaching style, you have to come up with different techniques so the students can learn easily and in that way we have them to learn the knowledge that we want them to acquire
