It's a shame that I only had opportunity to observe one class this semestre. However (making fun of Marcio's project in university!), it was just what I needed. Since I started teaching, I had the ridiculous idea that repetition (drilling) would be something absurd to perform in class. You all know I come from a place that does not believe in such practice and it was very difficult for me to ignore this belief when I started at Cultura Inglesa.
It was difficult, but not impossible. As Marcio pointed out, I was being kind of "shy" when drilling in my class. That's why I decided to observe Marcia Lessa's class. It was just what I needed to show me the way! The conduction of drillings not only helped students in pronunciation but also made the class dinamic. Students were participating even though they were from Cultura Express 2 and still have many things to learn.
It was a very nice experience. I'm not so shy anymore but I still think I have lots to learn from all of you. So, keep a desk open for me next semestre cause here I come!!!
