Task Nº1: Collaboration activities
For the following questions describe as accurately as you can how you have collaborated in school assigned:

1. What kind of activity did you perform the first time you were asked for help? How long did it take?
The first time I was asked for help had to play a recording for an English test called “certamen”. The idea of the test is not only to measure students’ knowledge in English, but also to prepare them for their future performance in the national standardized tests as “PSU” and “SIMCE”. The test was taken simultaneously in the school and it lasted 2 periods of 45 minutes each. My role was to go to every classroom and play the recording twice for the children, and to answer any question they could have.

After that I was asked to check some dictations and some quizzes of my class. And help during the classes with questions they could have while developing some tasks.

2. What were the students doing before you started helping out?

 The behavioural problems in classes appear before the lesson stars and after it finishes, the students really like to ask for permission to go to the bathroom when the lesson starts, or they are somewhere else in the school. So I had to help out with those situations, when they appeared.

3. How did the students react? Describe the atmosphere of the room and the levels of engagement in the room.

The students react well, they were never disrespectful with me, and they used to comply with my requests of having seat, keep quiet, or respect their classmates. At the same time they started to know me, and I started to know them, so it was easier to deal with misbehaviour.

4. What other assignments were asked you to do? How often?

I was asked to help with the revision of some dictations, quizzes and to help the teachers during the classes to show some flashcards and help students to figure out the meaning of some phrasal verbs that appeared on them.

5. Were you asked to prepare any kind of special audio visual material learning material for the students? Were they used? How effective were they?


No, I wasn’t asked to prepare any audio visual material for the students , but I was asked to give the teacher some ideas about how to use some colourful sheet of papers that he had folded in her locker, and I came up with the idea of some pictures of Olympic sports and to relate them with some sports verbs. They have not been used yet, because I am going to cover that part of the unit.



Task 2: Lesson Planning
Answer the following questions and explain how you planned the learning activities for your students. Be as precise as you can.

1. How did you get the information for planning the lessons for your students?
First, I took into account the previous lessons that the teacher did, that are in the class book, the content they know and the competences they have demonstrated in classes while I’ve been observing them. I also planned the lessons according to their lifestyles and interests (I applied and appraisal to my students to know their interests)

2. Did your guide teacher give you any suggestions for planning?

Yes, my guide teacher gave me some advices regarding students’ preferences in tasks to develop. For example my students really enjoy playing roles in dialogues, so my teacher suggested me to do something like that because they like performing the book’s dialogues, using costumes and taking the role of every character in the stories they have seen in classes.

3. How long did it take to you to prepare learning material for your first lesson?

It took me around 2 days to prepare my first lesson. Because it included audio visual material, pictures, and activities on a ppt presentation, so it is time consuming.
