First contact




Well, it was the first time that our class had the opportunity to have “real classes”. In the first contact, some of my classmates tried some activities, in order to measure their English level and motivate them to return for the next week. Some of the activities were “salven a pity,” “reading a fairy tale,” “How I feel” “hot potato” and so on. At the end of this class, we learned that teachers should not underestimate the knowledge of their students.



It is very nice to do a pre-class because you can get an idea of what is your student level, in order to help them to improve. Most of the time, teachers teach without know what is the real student knowledge so their fell boring about English classes.
