Teaching activity

In Didactic classes we have done many things so I am going to explain all but in different entries.

One day we had to prepare in groups a teaching exercise in which we had to explain children how to add and substract. We prepared in small groups and then each group had to explain to all the class as if they were in a real class with children. The problem was that not all the children were Spanish so we had to explain it in English. Saadet also explained it in Turkish so we learned some words and Jesse taught in Finish so we learned some numbers in this language.

This was a good experience because we had to think as if we were real teachers and face the class. We had to use easy vocabulary in order to students could understand us. I learned how to talk to children, the importance to make funny classes so that students don’t get bored and different ways to explain things.

In the future, when we were teachers we will have to explain things very clear and if someone doesn’t understand it we will have to use another method so that they finally understand it. The aim of the teachers is not to explain things once and go to another thing, the aim is to help students to understand things and improve their knowledge. It is very important to know that the most important figure of the class is the student and not the contents.

I hope to do more activities like this because we can learn many things and train ourselves so that in the future we know how to face a real class.
