Kamile: Reflection (07.11.2012)
I had five hours in the morning and
two extra hours in the afternoon. In the first two hours I focused on the
grammar revision section in the book and I did a listening activity which was
quite difficult for my students. Then, in the next three hours we dealt with
the readings in the workbook, which was really helpful for the exam they’re
going to have tomorrow. Actually, I expected to have more motivated students in
the last three hours of the morning session because we were studying on reading
comprehension which is the topic of the exam. Unfortunately, they were quite
distracted and they were just trying to memorize vocabularies for the exam. They
were a bit nervous and it was really tiring to keep them motivated. In the
fourth hour we had a quiz, which also made them distracted. As always, in
the fifth hour they were hungry and it just passed by trying to attract their
attention into the lesson.
After lunch with my other class I had two hours and
we focused on listening as a practice for the exam again. They keep complaining
about the make-up lessons that we had just before the exam. However, in my
opinion today was really useful because it’s not so easy for the students to practice
on reading and listening. On the other hand, today was a bit tiring both for me
and for my students. I had difficulty in attracting their attention and
motivating them. I don’t know what I could do but it's not really easy to discipline a class just before such an important exam.
