Advanced Group (First Entry)

I had my first class with the advanced group on Friday.  I have to say that  I did not feel really comfortable because I arrived a little late to the classroom and so that I had to start the class in a hurry. Even though that, I started the class with the warm up as always. This time I decided to develop the famous “hot potato”.

After it, I explained the use of linkers or connectors because I had to work with some activities where the students were going to use them. After that short explanation, I asked them to work out in the first activity that was a short paragraph in which they had to use some linkers from a box. When I asked them to share the solved paragraph, I noticed that they still were having problems with the use of the linkers.  So at that moment, I tried to explain them by giving them some other examples.

Later, they had to work on the second activity where they had to choose one of two linkers that were presented as options. This time it was easier for them because they had the options.

The final activity was even easier for them because they were just going to match some sentences using the correct linkers. At the end I can say that it was a really nice class and the only advice from the teacher during the feedback was that I have to correct the pronunciation and mistakes that the students make when they give an opinion or participate during the class.
