Reflection
Fortunately, in this eight course seminar I could learn a lot of things. In second Unit I knew how to use linking words where and in what cases. Also, I have never listened any kind of listening. Here we can listen to a dialogue or a listening. In first listening I couldn’t understand what they said. Today I try to understand the listening. I also like to do the exercises. It is very interesting to do the matching the questions with paragraphs, to listen “the checking in” conversations. Also reading and speaking tasks and swap roles. I can use the reading in my classes. Your Experience is very interesting and useful. Natalya, You are so kind and I like your speaking in English language. And I don’t lie the rule that if we absent for 5 classes thanwe will not participate in the course any more. It is difficult for us (we have a family) always to be in time and in class. But I try to be in time.
Also, I am a visual learner….

Reflection Unit 3
The classes are very interesting and unusual for me. Also, we learn a lot of new activities and diferences of tenses. Listening is alo very interesting. In my classes I used the pessimist's phrase book. Pupils are very interested in it. They became more eager to learn English. I also use a role play in interpreting partner's dreams. They are not bored as before. Pupils are happy to know a lot of things.I also happy, because of my classes became interesting to pupils.
Please, teach us  a lot of activities and how to present grammar for pupils without giving the rules or shemes and tables.

Reflection. Unit 4
 In Unit 4 I have learned how to use present perfect with "never, ever, just, yet, already"activities were very interesting.It was explained how and when to use comparatives very clearly. You are patient for us. From you we can learn a lot of things, for example, your patience to students and checking our hometasks, class activities, how organise the classes. Thanks for American Councils that gives us such kind of chances. I can use in Practical English how to ask the directions in our classes. We can divide groups and give each group maps as you give. One group will give the directions, another one follow the directions and find where is the place, or we can use it vise or verse. This activity I liked more than  others. It will interesting to pupils, I think. In this activity they can improve their skills. First is their listening, because they must follow the directions, the secons is their reading and speaking.

Reflection. Unit 5

Thank you for your techniques. In Unit 5 I have learned a lot of things. The first, I was interested in the work at computer class. It was great and interesting for our students. During our classes I have more interested about “How to survive at the party”. We made dialogues and act them. It was wonderful.

In Unit 5D, I knew in what games we can say “Play, go, and do”. It was new information for me, I never heard about it anywhere. During our classes I want more activities with grammar exercises-to share the methods of teaching. We must more practice about Nicenet. Thank you!

Reflection. Unit 6

In sixth Unit Murphy’s Law was interesting for us. Teachers gave us an example and we have ended the sentences. I think that if we use it with our pupils, will be interesting. It will clear for them if they understood 1 and 2 conditionals. It can be game with questions.

Reflection Unit 1.
It was very interesting to begin this project, I mean study. For the first time I was like "a hedgehog in the frog". I couldn't understand the process, but the lessons were very interesting. I could learn some of new ways of teaching. We have learned some new information about Picasso, his pictures, his way of painting. Than I want to speak about Quiz. I thought looking at the paper, it would be very easy, but when I began to make the tasks, I lost myself. I tried to do all correctly, but I made a lot of mistakes. At the next quiz I will try to do my best thanks for the lessons. I hope to take and to use new methods at my lessons. I can say that I found some new things in teaching English language.

Reflection for Unit 2
 The second Unit Was very interesting for me. I have learned a lot about linking words and prepositions. There was a lot of interesting information.The trainer used a lot of unusual games at the lessons. I used those ideas at my own lessons.

Reflection Unit 3
You are teaching us not only new methods, in this Unit we had a talk about pessimists and  optimists. Looking at You I can say that you are the most optimist person. You show us to be optimists in any way, not to loose ourselves. Our tasks on these theme was very unusual. And one thing, which I want to tell you, is our enhancement activities. We had 2 activities. The 1st was for teachers and the second is for pupils. Both of them were very interesting, especially to work with pupils. They were very happy, funny, and light was in their eyes. After our competition, pupils were interested more deeply. I liked our teamwork, project, semonars very much. Thank you for your patient!

Reflection Unit 4

I read one quotation and I will try to give a meaning “If one person will say you or help you –He will give you a fish, with what you may be alive for one day. He will teach you how to make smth. He will teach you how to fish.” Our instructor teaches us “how to fish” by new methods of teaching English. I liked the way of work with maps. It is too difficult to describe or to show some way, but with this activity we could share useful methods of working with map.

Reflection. Unit 5

I have learned from this Unit:

• How to survive at the party
• How to use Nicenet
• To use sport prepositions

I want to suggest continue the lessons by using Internet.

Reflection. Unit 6

This Unit was very interesting. We had a seminar with native speakers Ersilia and Reinhard.  Ersilia taught us new methods in teaching English. I learned interesting games. Reinhard presented to us his travelling to Papua New Guinea. It was unusual lesson for me, because I could ask questions about his life there. At my lesson I told to my students about PNG, they were very surprised  because of their customs and traditions.

I want to add one thing. It is a Murphy Law. I couldn’t translate the word or the phrase «закон подлости» and I have never thought it would be like “Murphy Law”. About 3 conditions: I had some questions in using these conditions and I could find answers to my questions.

I have learnt so many things from the Unit 2. Especially I preferred activities which our teacher used for us during the lesson. I can use activities and games in my lesson which we used during lessons. It was difficult for me to communicate with partners. This is my character that I can’t get on which strange people. I like each of our lessons, because our teacher is brilliant.

Reflection. Unit 3
For the Unit 3 I have learnt the difference between promises and result, discussed the difference in using phrases with Look..., and learnt about optimistic and pessimistic phrases. Generally, I revise my learning, but also have learnt shemes for Grammar tenses that can be useful for my classes.
I want to learn more games for small children, because it's difficult to find games and use them in my classes.

Reflection. Unit 4 
I have learnt how to organize activities for levels of adjectives. I have learnt how to explain Present Perfect. Before I was a little bit pessimist, but after lessons I change my ideas. We could share ideas about problems with teenagers about Zara store. I can use activity with map, texts as a suplementary reading like Zara Store in order to make it more interesting.
My suggestion is to watch films on English and discuss after watching it.
Also, I think it would be better if we have more discussions, talking about different interesting topics and to learn more new words in order to enlarge our vocabulary.

Reflection. Unit 5

It was very useful , Unit 5 for  me:

• At first we could learn difference between verb+ infinitive and verb followed by-ing
• Difference between must and have to, in-into
• Some kind of sport, like jumping from train to train
• Formal letter’s rules
• Internet to work with nicenet, Facebook and other programs.

I can us those grammar rules and the game which we played with chairs. It would be very interesting for all levels and any grammar or lexical topics. I want to learn more games, because all school children are interested in games.

Reflection. Unit 6

Day by day my English is improving better. I could revise some grammar themes. Murphy’s Law was interesting, because I didn’t know the translation of that phrase. Before I couldn’t diffenetiate the words know/meet, borrow/lend. I have learnt about first and second conditional forms. I could  improve my knowledge about writing a formal  letter.

My suggestion is that my listening is poor. Can we listen more and more? We need more native speakers at our lessons, except of discussion club.

Reflection. Unit 7

The seventh Unit was very interesting for me, because we discussed about our fears and phobias. We have learnt so many grammar rules and we could remember therm, for example used to was a little confused rule for me. Perfect tense’s rules were also interesting during our studying. We discussed differences between active and passive voice.

Reflection. Unit 8

Talking about our body, life style, personality was very interesting for me. We could improve our English on phrasal verbs, neither, so auxiliaries. Before discussion about it I was in confusion.

The songs were  very pleasant for us. We can improve day by day our listening.

I hope that if we have such themes at our lessons, we can explain them without difficulties. My suggestion is I need more listening, because it is my weak point.
