Now I have taken some time to read through the blogs of the other members in this course. The result: I'm a bit confused; everyone seems to have clear and planned goals for this course, what they are going to do and how. But not me...
I don't even know if I have a group of English students during this period, in two weeks a new period will start and I noticed that I teach only Swedish then, maybe I just try to plan a course and put it into practice during our last period.
Well, our school year is divided in 5 periods each 6-7 weeks. At the end of each period there is an exam week. Some periods I have school from 8 - 15, like the current period but next period is easy (?) for me as I will have only one group, meaning three lessons (3 x 75 minutes) a week. Starting in February and then I hope I'll have more time to get to know everything or at least a lot.
Sinikka, I have problems which are very similar to yours. The first semester will end on 24th January, after that I have a 3-week break, then probably five completely new groups of students. I asked to keep one of the groups I am teaching now (which is a little unusual), but there is no guarantee that everyone from this group will continue learning, and there are probably going to be new people in it. I teach in a private language school, which means that my students don't even have to attend regularly or do their homework. And no, I have no idea what sort of project I will do with them.
ReplyDeleteI feel a little better now that I see I am not the only one with this problem.
Thank you Natasa,
