UNIVERSIDAD DE LA AMAZONIA EDUCATION SCIENCES FACULTY ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING PROGRAM TEACHING PRACTICUM II WEEKLY REFLECTION No. 05 & 06 NAME: Santiago Arango Salazar. DATE: 04/06/2022. ST General Appreciations The fifth and sixth weeks were the most complex and hard of the academic practicum as a teacher in training due in those days the personal work congestion of the teacher in training was agglutinated, however, these issues could be resolved in the sixth week. Ironically, this week the activities revolved around emotions and their management. Therefore, in the warm-up activity, the students developed and described their emotions in English through images and gestures, which resulted in a very enjoyable activity; Secondly, the class carried on with the presentation on fair trade companies, and here the students expressed their criteria and opinions about our governing economic system, contributions that were very significant. However, at times the class goal was lost and this was due to some noise being made in the class. However, some repairs that were being carried out in the school distracted the students. In addition, a sports tournament was beginning and this caused the students to want to be more aware of what was happening outside than what was happening inside the classroom. From the above, it should be emphasized that there is a lot to work on in the management part of the class because sometimes we can deviate from the objective of the class and it is necessary to resume it in the best possible way. The sixth week has become the week of redemption for the teacher in training and this is mainly due to the fact that this week I was able to attend school every day, which Page 1 de 3 UNIVERSIDAD DE LA AMAZONIA EDUCATION SCIENCES FACULTY ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING PROGRAM TEACHING PRACTICUM II allowed me to get to know the students and improve my ability to manage the class, which It was very gratifying to feel that I was once again in control of my practical process. Additionally, the class begins on Tuesday where the activities are developed according to the schedule, however, this week is special because the grammar exam and the book exam are developed, later, on Wednesday the book exam women in business, which I had never developed a test, much less being the highest authority to qualify, which was positive, in fact, I felt that I could contribute to the students even when I was grading them, then on Thursday I implemented the other part of my class and vocal warm-up activities in the famous song activity that resulted in preparation for the English song contest developed in the English Day and Festival. Finally, on Friday the grammar exam was carried out where the students filled out the exam very punctually and even some students obtained a higher grade, showing that the academic process developed has been satisfactorily carried out and executed by the cooperating teacher, in general, this week has been the redemption of last week and the mistakes that could be made were considerably improved. Difficulties or problematic situations detected As mentioned above, this week has been one of the most difficult for the teacher in training, problems such as the noise from the construction and reparation carried out outside the room, the noise that comes directly from the field, in addition, the inexperience of the teacher in training made this week one of the most complicated in the academic and practical process. However, this week it also emphasizes that the school authorities should schedule the repairs at times when the performance of the students is not affected. Finally, Page 2 de 3 UNIVERSIDAD DE LA AMAZONIA EDUCATION SCIENCES FACULTY ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING PROGRAM TEACHING PRACTICUM II the recurring problem results in classes at 10 in the morning, the heat is unbearable for some students, which generates disorder and inattention to the class in some cases.
