MDD 5: TOMA DE DECISIONES Y ANALISIS DE RESULTADOS.

In this section several issues are going to be addressed. Knowledge, skills,

classroom management, to name a few. These reflections are made after the class

with a 9th and a 10th grade.

When referring to the 9th grade, students seem to have a good level of

understanding English, yet they dont seem to have the skills to put all that

knowledge into word. In other words, their receptive skills are very well reinforced,

yet at the moment of producing language they have some difficulties. In terms of

knowledge they have the same bad habit that most of students have, the study for

the test yet after approving they forget about everything, making the teachers labor

harder, as he has to review over and over again the same topics as he tries to

connect all content. Finally in terms of classroom management, the students are

overall well behaved, with some exceptions. No control group strategies are needed

to maintain the flow of the class.

Something similar happens with the 10th grade group. This group seem to be

more accurate and they demonstrate a good level of English in any of the skills. With

this group I tried to reinforce the productive skills as they seem to have some minimal

flaws, such as mispronunciations, minimal grammar mistakes. Even though they had

the skills to work with the language they faced the same issue than the 9th grade,

they study for the state and they forget everything after they approved the test. With

this group was a bit harder to maintain the flow of the class as they were very

talkative and few couples were in the group. In several times control group strategies

were needed.

As a final reflection, I can say that as a teacher I need to improve in terms of

classroom management and the way I deliver instructions. On the other hand, I

would keep my way to address certain issues that the students might have, and also

I consider, and also my students, that my classes are engaging.
