The topic was interesting, but what I think made students eager to participate was the fact they noticed I really cared about them. They noticed I had prepared something especially for that lesson!
I think that has added a special taste to the whole thing!
They thanked me after class and asked me for more classes like that!
I know I have to follow the lesson plan and cover all the grammar and vocabulary topics that will "fall" on the test. But after this experience, I'll find a way and insert some extra stuff.
Two students, who are usually shy and quiet, were involved in such a way that one said when leaving: "Today I didn't sleep in class!"
The lesson I learned today: If I expect my students to participate more, I should give them the opportunity to do so...

Dear Helo,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for your teaching labor!!!
I totally agree with you, we have to give our students the opportunity to participate in the process.
Most of the time we have to follow rigid planning, however, it is good for us and our students to do something different.
It is hard because of the time, but if we do not mark the difference, who is going to do it?....
