Ni Hao - hello…i think!!!???
Well, i am quite enjoying the Mandarin lessons now. I didn’t remember much at all from the first lesson but after this second lesson some words/sentences are still in my head!!
I managed to have a quick chat with some of the other people in the group as some have already started their teaching practice…they said it went ok and that their group of students were very nice!! I am starting to panic about my teaching now!! I don’t understand how i will be able to plan a 1 hour lesson as i have no idea how long tasks will take or how long i will need to explain things for?!?!?
I am quite enjoying the online grammar course i am currently taking. It is quite simple but i feel that there isn’t enough explanation for me, however, the short video clips of a teacher teaching are excellant!!! I am about half way through this course so i will keep you posted on how i get along with it.
This week it is half term so no lesson!!!! Don’t know if it is a good thing that i am really looking forward to spending Monday night at home!?!? I still need to type up my homework, which is the diary of how the Mandarin lesson went and i will also be reading more and more grammar books and visiting the libary to get a few recommended books.
I have just ordered a book called ‘A Concise Grammar for English Language Teachers’ i read somewhere that it was a good book, i haven’t received it yet so i will let you know.
Well i think that is all for now…please post any questions or comments.�
