In this class I felt confused because I could not understand, In that moment I was in shock, I just waitnig or well looking all things that professor did it. I thought how many of my students felt like me, but for me was a learning, may be I do not have time to complete my goals in my school, because our time is short for our classes, I learned that using short classes and interactive activities , students even if they do not speak the language can learn in quick an easy way. After I fett more confortable enjoying the class.
Empathy is one of the most important senses we can have as teachers. Especially as second language teachers! It's easy to forget how disoriented we felt in the early days of learning our second languages. That remembrance is so important as we think about how to help our Ss feel more comfortable and less anxious in our own classes.
ReplyDeleteHave you though about what you might change in your classes? Or have you thought about what activities may lead your Ss to feel confused or "in shock"?
