What did I learn in this course?

    What I learned from this course was that the materials play a very important role in the classroom, since they help students to learn a language in an easier and more understandable way, as well as providing a better environment for the learning process to be possible. Knowing all these materials, as a future teacher, I am more clear about how to create interactive and fun classes so that students can receive a better teaching and not just stay with traditional teachings.

One of the main things learned in this course was the different materials we have at our disposal and the proper use of the materials we have at our disposal for different approaches we want to give in the classroom for the development of English language learning.  Both to start the class and to reinforce the knowledge acquired and somehow make our class fun and different.

    What I have learned through the course is so much. As a future teacher, I learned that in order to enhance the students' learning and knowledge, I must utilize strategies that help me achieve that goal. With strategies such as utilizing tools that increase the student’s enthusiasm for learning and where learning is fun and full of activities that will stay in the student’s long-term memory, with tools such as puppets, flash cards, flipcharts, etc., students can take their learning to a whole new level by being interactive and, at the same time, having a lot of fun. So to sum up, I will definitely apply these strategies to my future classes in the teaching of English as a second language.

In this course, I have learned valuable resources and techniques that will greatly benefit my future teaching endeavors. The class provided us with a wide range of useful tools that can enhance the learning experience for all students. One key aspect emphasized was the importance of tailoring our teaching methods to suit the individual needs of each student, recognizing that different students have varying learning styles and preferences.

To create a more engaging and enjoyable learning environment, the course encouraged us to make our classes interactive and fun. This involves incorporating interactive activities, group discussions, and hands-on projects to keep students actively involved in the learning process. Moreover, the course reminded me of the significance of being passionate about teaching, as genuine enthusiasm can inspire and motivate students to excel in their studies.

Furthermore, I have gained insight into the importance of adaptability in teaching. The course highlighted that as educators, we should be flexible and ready to adjust our teaching approach based on the specific circumstances of each class. For instance, if we find ourselves in a location with difficult access or limited resources, we can utilize alternative materials like Flipcharts, which can be a useful tool due to their portability and versatility. I am confident that I can create a positive and conducive learning environment for all my students, ensuring they receive the best education possible regardless of the challenges we may encounter.
