The most memorable experience this week was when one of my students told me that he wishes for me to be his teacher next year because he really likes when I teach the class. This experience made me feel that in some way or another I am reaching my students and they are really enjoying my teaching. Another experience that is eally memorable is that I been teaching almost all (but one) of my CT’s classes and the majority passed the test even the students that usually get really low grades I was very happy about this because that proves that they are learning the material I am teaching to them..

As a foreign language teacher I learned that students take language classes because they have great interest on the language and about the cultures that speak the language, also students like to be exposed to the target language as much as possible. Another thing that I learned is that students that are taking foreign language believe that a new language should be learned is a fun way.

My cooperative teacher and I were talking about the importance of teaching classes every day and not playing movies like many teachers do, for example on friday many teachers did not teach at all because it was friday and because spring break was about to start so they decided no to teach and play movies, instead what I planned for my students was make up day my CT and I printed progress reports for them and students were able to know the exercises they were missing as a result students practiced what they had learned and replaced 0′s with a better grade.
