FINAL REFLECTION
These last 10 weeks of my life have been so fruitful, not only in terms of how much I have learned and how much I have shared with other language professional (around the world) but in terms of how much I have reflected and grown as a teacher. There were many things that I would take for granted. But now I know that as a teacher I need to make sure my students engage in the lesson, work in class, rehearse at home, and above all feel they are learning in my classes. I have learned to listen more to what they have to say, to focus on their learning styles, and I take advantage of every opportunity to include technology into my lesson plans. Students appreciate that, in subtle ways that have a great impact in the lesson itself ( students pay more attention and commit to lessons on their own initiative).
Sincerely,
Fernando Minda
