Hello everyone ! I want to share something with you . Read it :)  “By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.” – Confucius It is easy for teachers to spend so much time and energy focused on their students’ progress that they forget to consider their own performance. Self reflection can be a valuable tool that helps make you aware of how you are teaching, which in turn makes you a better teacher. Teaching without reflection is teaching blind – without any knowledge of effectiveness. It can be difficult and time consuming for teachers to scrutinize their performance, but like any other occupation it is essential for improvement. Asking deliberate questions, reflecting on the answers, then implementing changes on how you approach your teaching based on your reflection  differentiates decent teachers from great teachers.

                                 Hello bloggers !                                                                             How are you? This is the 9th week and our assignment is to describe our project in details .As I have said my topic is FOOD IDIOMS and the date of our presentation is coming soon .We have already finished our project and we are waiting the day of presentation . In lesson we are going to use three technological tools which are :the board, a PowerPoint presentation and a video at the very beggining to introduce the topic . Also , at the end we will play a game all together that has to do with food idioms , of course .

Even If I 'm fun of technology in today's classroom, teachers are pressed to make every minute count. If the teacher and students are not experienced with technology in the classroom, valuable time is often wasted on technical troubles. In addition, the teacher faces the difficulty of having a class full of students who are all at different skill levels. In some schools, most students will have a computer and Internet access, but schools that are located in impoverished areas may have a large portion of their student body with little to no computer experience. While it is important to educate these children in technology, it must be done at a pace that meets every individual's needs or more learning time will be wasted.

Hi bloggers !!!   The ESL skills that I have focused on my lesson is speaking and listening . Here I have some advantages of both :  Advantages of using speaking tasks in the language classroom. ADVANTAGE 1: Speaking provides opportunities to practice all four skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing). ADVANTAGE 2: Speaking supports development of critical thinking skills. ADVANTAGE 3: Speaking promotes learning. Listening: as a communication skill Listening is one of the most important communication skills We probably spend more time using our Listening Skills than any other kind of skill Like other skills, Listening takes practice Real Listening is an active process Listening requires attention

                                                                            Hello everyone !  The assignment for this week was stressful for me because I had to organize all my ideas about this project . But , It was also the most important step for our final presentation . Now I am clear about the goals , student needs , setting and activities that I am going to use .Although I as student have faced difficulties in learning idioms , I strongly believe that my students will learn idioms in a easier way . My topic for this project is "FOOD IDIOMS " and I am going to teach food idioms at students that have achieved intermediate level .
