Final Mandarin Lesson!!
I have left this post a bit late as i have been so busy. Last Monday was the final lesson of Mandarin, we had a little test at the beginning and i was quite surprised that i got 8/12!!! Not bad!!!
We spent the second half of the lesson looking at phonology, we are continuing with this tonight.
Last week was my first time teaching!!! I had to do a mini teaching task which was about ’special occasions’ I felt comfortable and i quite enjoyed the lesson but on reflection i can see that i didn’t explain clearly enough 1 of the tasks…never mind….at least i am aware of my faults!!
Tonight we have to hand in our journal on Mandarin….i had written many of the notes in rough so it took me all day to type them up and complete the 500 word conclusion!!! I should have been more prepared and completed each section as i went along.
Tonight i will meet with my tutor to discuss my 1 hour teaching activity this week. This time the module is ‘Appearances’ i am going to try and make some visual aids and some games to go with the task as i fid it a bit boring just reading from handouts and writing on the whiteboard……1 hour seems such a long time but i am sure it will fly by.
Anyway i had better go as i need so type up some information before tonights input lesson……i must be better prepared and organise my time more effectively.
I will let you know if and when i pass my Unknown Language Journal and how the teaching goes!! Wish me luck!
