AEPE students
continue their learning process and develop their knowledge and skills. They
prepared individually to present their teaching philosophy(see the previous post), their work in the
classroom, and their perspective future plans at schools/Universities. Students presenting their speeches achieved
the fulfillment of the 3 project in speeches “Get to the point” and they did it
successfully. AEPE students began to
think about their
ways of teaching for
students with different learning styles and this process is very important for me as
for facilitator as I want to know what
are my students’ thoughts on their teaching, in order to motivate and help them
to learn more. At our classes we are using “New English file” book and other
resources to improve grammar and vocabulary.
Coordinator of the program supported
in getting access to computer lab with access to Internet at the Faculty. AEPE
students created their
e-mail account and a blog page. My Students need a
support in order to learn better to use sites here they can work on blogs and
publish their posts, write comments to each other, and as the result to create a teaching e-portfolio. They can use this portfolio in their future
work, and present their work at their working places. At this month, I could present to my students
ABCD method to write objectives and we discussed in details the lesson format
with the series of activities that are appropriate to different levels of Bloom’s
taxonomy. Students on practice presented
such activities or one lesson and reflected on all of them through the prism of
Six Hats De Bono.
Demonstrative
lessons allow all AEPE students to learn on practice, analyze and reflect
through the feedback after the lesson on the activities organized for students
and on preparation and organization of the lesson by the teacher. At this month
it was a turn for Aselya and Malika. Aselya presented the topic “Healthy and unhealthy
food” for 7th grade students at school #52. Students divided food on different categories:
fruits, vegetables, drinks and discussed the type of food that is beneficial
for people and harmful. Students were involved actively into discussion,
conducted short dialogues, and guessed words in the puzzle. 
Together
with AEPE students we also observed the lesson “Importance of money in our life”
that was prepared by Malika for the 1st -level students at Business
and Management Faculty. Discussions,
sharing ideas through the group work, matching currencies, true and false
activity were very interesting for students there. Positive learning environment
and student-centered approaches of work were motivating for students to
participate actively and to learn with enthusiasm.
It gets to
be “a tradition” at our program to make in input into community and AEPE
students could organize an interesting Project Enhancement activity for
students of different faculties. The topic for discussion was about the
importance of money in our life. All students took a turn to organize sessions
during the project. They presented ideas through the PPT, playing with students
in the economical game-auction, and discussing the topic on different questions
associated with this topic.
At the
Native Speaker Club, Paula presented very interesting and actual for our days
topic “Resume and CV”. Students could compare and contrast them, and to learn
more about writing Resume.
