Report #6

Week from October 13 to 16

This week was for the application of tests. The content of the tests was from the first period which lasted approximately six weeks. On Monday and Tuesday students had oral presentations about media. These presentations are a project that the teacher designed to close the first period. In these presentations, she graded content, students’ mastery of such content and to a lesser extent the students speaking proficiency. These two days of presentations were very important for me because I learned more about my students’ proficiency in speaking. Actually, they surprised me because they have a very good proficiency level in speaking. I had only had the opportunity to listen to them when they participated in class, but this time they were the ones that spoke most of the time. During the rest of the week (Wednesday and Thursday) tests were administered. In those days the teacher and I worked on the preparation of the class I will give next week. She provided me with advice about the students’ behavior and with tips about how I could give the class.
