this coming week
Good day, all!
hope you are resting after a stimulating practicum!
I've posted my plan for the coming week below. As you can see, I intend to give you as much time as you need to debrief the practica. Now, if your other classes are doing the same thing and you have had enough, let me know and we can change things around.
Now that you have been in the classroom in your new role as a teacher, I thought that we might do some 'body language' practice (ie. conveying authority through proxemics, and the like). Often this practice is more meaningful after you've had a taste of the concrete context. I've been told previously that student teachers haven't had enough practice in this important area; but tell me if you think that this is unnecessary.
And, I've gathered some info on the ESL levels and some concrete applications. I've also found a resource on Smart Learning that we can look at while we are inj LERC on Wednesday.
possible field-trips I would like to discuss with you:
KEC ESL bookstore
teachers' resource store
Oakridge ESL assessment centre
see you tomorrow,
Doug
