For today’s class, I think my preparation is better than the last time. I realized because English is not my native language, so it is essential for me to practice writing a draft for my lecture and go through the course in my head in advance. I feel such way helped me become more confident and influent in speaking. In today’s class, I ask students to write their thesis statements on the board. We were learning how to write a thesis statement. After they shared their answers on the board, I just focused on whether they had their main parts of the thesis statement, but ignored some of their mistakes in writing. I understand now students’ mistakes should not be left on the board. They could be misguided. There was one grammar point which I never heard the name before, but I know the ideas of it. This reminded me that, as a teacher, I should not only focus on the part I am teaching in one lesson, but I should also take a longer-term view to help students’ learning. I think that is why a teacher should always have an objective both for each lesson and a term. I think I should also try more ways to keep students engaged during the class. I felt especially when I explained some writing points, some of them become detracted. I tried suddenly calling someone’s name to read something or answer the questions to attract their attention. I think there should be more ways I will try incorporating in my lesson to encourage students to comment.
