SELF-REFLECTION, BASED ON SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF GOOD TEACHING PRACTICE.

Learn from your peers. You might not always agree with their teaching methods but there might be something that you will be able to relate to and have a better understanding of as time goes on in your career.

PRINCIPLES OF GOOD TEACHING PRACTICE

Introduction Good teaching is as much about passion as it is about reason. Its about not only motivating students to learn, but teaching them how to learn, and doing so in a manner that is relevant, meaningful, and memorable. Its about caring for your craft, having a passion for it, and conveying that passion to everyone, most importantly to your students. Good teaching is about substance and training students as consumers of knowledge. Its about doing your best to keep on top of your field, reading sources, inside and outside of your areas of expertise, and being at the leading edge as often as possible. But knowledge is not confined to scholarly journals. Good teaching is also about bridging the gap between theory and practice.

PRINCIPLES OF GOOD TEACHING PRACTICE

How can conceptualize the PRINCIPLES OF GOOD TEACHING PRACTICE and how can describe an explain what and how you will develop each principle in my TP taking into account the previous Teaching Experience that I had? PRINCIPLES OF GOOD CONCEPTS OF THE TEACHING PRACTICE PRINCIPLES OF GOOD TEACHING PRACTICE 1Good practice Frequent student-faculty encourages interaction contact in and out of class between students and is a most important factor faculty. in student motivation and involvement. Faculty concern helps students get through rough times and keep on working. It also enhances students' intellectual commitment and encourages them to think about their own values and plans. 2-Good practice Learning is enhanced encourages interaction when it is more like a and collaboration team effort than a solo between students. race. Good learning, like good work, is collaborative and social, not competitive and isolated. Working with others often increases involvement in learning. Sharing one's ideas and responding to others improves thinking and deepens understanding. 3-Good practice uses Learning is not a active learning spectator sport. Students techniques. do not learn much just sitting in classes listening to teachers, memorizing prepackaged assignments, and spitting out answers. They must talk about DEVELOPMENT TEACH TO

I will develop this principle in my TP, using the communication whit my students, in and out of class. Day by day working in activities to involve me and involve my students, for example: explain and discuss some topic, interact them by chat, using forums etc.

Is important to share information with students, transmit my knowledge and receive knowledge of them, if we working together enrich our ideas and knowledge, I will use Chat rooms, topic expositions, research topics etc.

The most important thing is have communication with my students; I will need to know what they are learning, what happen with them, what they likes or dislikes. I will make some activities for example: if my

PRINCIPLES OF GOOD TEACHING PRACTICE

what they are learning, write reflectively about it, relate it to past experiences, and apply it to their daily lives. They must make what the learn part of themselves. 4-Good practice gives Knowing what you know prompt feedback. and don't know focuses your learning. In getting started, students need help in assessing their existing knowledge and competence. Then, in classes, students need frequent opportunities to perform and receive feedback on their performance. At various points during college, and at its end, students need chances to reflect on what they have learned, what they still need to know, and how they might assess themselves. 5-Good practice Time plus energy equals emphasizes time on task. learning. Learning to use one's time well is critical for students and professionals alike. Allocating realistic amounts of time means effective learning for students and effective teaching for faculty. 6-Good communicates expectations. practice Expect more and you will high get it. High expectations are important for everyone - for the poorly prepared, for those unwilling to exert

students like facebook, I would make the class on facebook; they might interact with their mates about some topic, and I evaluate them. In this principle is important to know, knowledge the students have, in my case I will make a test and depending this, take in consideration what kind of students have and which method will be used, and the other hand the student need frequent opportunities to perform and receive feedback on their performance.

Is important to organize the time, because the students will know in what time, I will do some activities for example: I will do my journal diary, and I will include: the time of my presents, Some reflexion, development of the subject etc. Is important the different expectations, because if I project poorly things, this way will be my result. I should think in big things, and I do it. I will

themselves, and for the bright and well motivated. Expecting students to perform well becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. 7-Good practice respects Many roads lead to diversity talents, learning. Different experience, and ways of students bring different learning. talents and styles to college. Brilliant students in a seminar might be all thumbs in a lab or studio; students rich in hands-on experience may not do so well with theory. Students need opportunities to show their talents and learn in ways that work for them. Then they can be pushed to learn in new ways that do not come so easily.

work with my students.

In this principle, is important to know that kind of students have, because not everyone learns in the same way, for this reason I make some activities and focus and their skills.

How Im going to design my TP based on the approaches, methodology, methods, strategies and techniques that it will be defined my teaching style? Definitions: An Approach; is a set of correlative assumptions dealing with the nature of language teaching and learning. An approach is axiomatic. It describes the nature of the subject matter to be taught. (SHVOONG.COM). Methodology; is a set of practices. This term may be used to refer to practices which are widely used across an industry or scientific discipline, the techniques used in a particular research study, or the techniques used to accomplish a particular project. (WiseGeek.com) Method; is an overall plan for the orderly presentation of language material, no part of which contradicts, and all of which is based upon, the selected approach. An approach is axiomatic, a method is procedural. Within one approach, there can be many methods. (SHVOONG.COM). Strategy, The art and science of planning and marshalling resources for their most efficient and effective use. (WiseGeek.com) A technique; is implementation, that which actually takes palace in a classroom. It is a particular trick, stratagem, or contrivance used to accomplish an immediate objective. Technique must be consistent with a method and therefore in harmony with an approach as well. (WiseGeek.com)

My teaching style is innovative and modern, because I will be use different methods, strategies, methodology and techniques, focused on student development, because the student is the part important in the education and my way to development my class defined my teaching style. Teachers of English as a second language we want students to think and speak in the target language 100 percent of the time while in the class. I will be use the Direct Method, because to accomplish this emphasizes conversation and pronunciation, while downplaying the traditional study of grammar through reading and writing. Use activities to encourage students to listen, speak and think in the language they are learning without hesitation, the technique I will be use are reading aloud and conversation practice, because the students take turns reading sections of a dialog, at the end of each student, and can be do some conversation about some topic, I will use some pictures, video etc. The other I will be use Audio-Lingual method because in this method we can use that language acquisition this occurs through habit and repetition. Use the techniques: Dialog memorization; dialogs or short conversations between two students are often used to begin a new

PRINCIPLES OF GOOD TEACHING PRACTICE

lesson. Students usually take the role of the one person in the dialog, and the teacher the other. Other technique is Repetition drill, students are asked to repeat after me as accurately and as quickly as possible. And other is Grammar game, because the games designed to students a grammar point within a context, I will use alphabet game. With the discourse as its focus, the method emphasizes oral exercises and repetition of idiom, as well as pronunciation. In this method I will use: the Radio, exercise in some software, dialogues etc. It was created based on psychological and linguistic theories of the time, such as behaviorism of Skinner and the structuralism grammar of Bloomfield. The creators were totally in disagree with using grammar rules and translation teaching, and with the intervention of the mother tongue in the process. However, they thought that the ultimate goal of language teaching was that the student mastered the language structure (grammar basically). Other method is Community Language Learning; Actually Community Language Learning is an old method in 1970s. It is well known as a humanistic-oriented methodology which the people now often call this method as a humanistic approach to language learning. The terms of humanistic used here refers to the mixture of all other emotions and feelings of learners in the teaching learning process, this methods allows me to have more communication with my students and, I will be use some technique, for example: reflection on experience, I can take a time and reflect about the activities and to give the students the opportunity to reflect on how they feel about the language learning experience. In my TP will be use the observation all the time because to connect students to the use and understanding of one of the most widely used research techniques, but also one of the most complex and the observation. The observation itself is one of the most systematic and logical for the visual and verifiable record that we want to know is to use either way to describe, analyze or explain in some perspective, a valid and reliable indeed, object or phenomenon from a participant is not participating, structured or unstructured, in this way raises the need for the observer count skills that allow them to develop this process with quality. In my Teaching designing include IT or how can teach English on-line? Define elearning and blended learning. In my TP is important to include the technology, and all the resources we can use, because we live in a time that technology is important, we can see all of the technological resources available on the Internet. Which can be used to teach, but the question is: how to teach English on-line? Teaching English on-line is a very attractive possibility for many these days, and it's a choice that is gaining popularity teachers and students, mostly because of the advantages. I will be using some online platform, chat room, software and others. Learned in classes can be followed at home practicing in some platform. My favorite way to engage with students will be to give them creative challenges. If they see them to create a video or phrases they will have great fun creating and sharing, and overcome any reservations they may be

feeling. You can also help them to explore the Internet using chat rooms exchange information. Is important use the on-line teaching, because the students can be learn to use the different type of resources and put in practice their vocabulary, knowledge, skills, and can be interact with me in real time. Is important take in consideration the level that students have, and if they have access to these resources, not all students have equal opportunities to other, for this reason I must make sure that all my students have access to internet, and if they cant do at home it will make in school.
