FIRST DAY OF CLASS

In my first day of class I was rushing from one place to another in order to get on time to every place I needed to go, first at school and now at the university. This is a really nice opportunity to have, because this will expand my proffesional expectations and also my personal boundaries towards teaching a language, specially the English language. There is a lot to see and to do, I have great expectations about the whole course and my classmates, from whom I want to learn a lot. I excuse myself if I speak too much in class, That is just the way I am and sometimes I have to control myself with my very own students, because I KNOW that teachers should not speak too much but encourage their students to speak. Let's see what happens tomorrow so I will keep you updated.

Multiple Intelligence Test

Multiple Intelligence Test
It is important to have reliable support like tests and surveys that can tell us who our students are, because we don't have robots.... we have in every student a different world, so we must bear in mind that every person has different strengths and weaknesses that finally become tools for us the teachers so we can focus better in each individual to have more personal work with him or her.
