Second class (2nd period)

Describe
What I noticed in the lesson is that students participated more. At first, they were shy. However, after the warm-up their attitude changed completely. They were more active in the class. Consequently, they spoke more. The environment was really nice since I talked with some students. There was a good rapport. The materials I used in this class were the board, markers and pieces of paper.

Ss were more active since I was not a new person for them.

Also, I felt comfortable to talk with some of them when they were performing a speaking activity.

I think rapport is really helpful in the class because students feel comfortable for speaking in the class.

Rapport helps in the class because students speak more in the class, and they feel comfortable for asking questions or making comments.

Based on what I already know about rapport, I think creating rapport in the class helps to develop a good environment and create a good relationship between teacher-students.

Based on what I observed, I think students generally felt comfortable for speaking in the class, and for making comments.

I believe that rapport can help students learning because they become more active in the process of learning.

So, in the future, I will not give the back to my students since it is a sign of insecurity.

In future lessons I will be more prepare with my topic and.

The next time I teach this lesson, I will try to introduce the activities relating them with words or phrases that they have already learned in the class.

In future experiences I will also include a technique for making all the students to participate in the class.

  2. I had the same situation Ile. The students had a different attitude. I think that they participated more because they have more confidence and now, they know you more. As you wrote before, rapport is a key for having a good relation with the students. I you do not smile to them, they will not feel the confidece to participate in the activities

  3. Greetings over there, Mrs. González!
    I am completely in agreement with you as you stated that rapport is more than a simple feature in the class. Rapport always go beyond the traditional and boring classes. However, when it's established in a correect way, Ss participate in the class eagerly without the fear of committing mistakes. The only thing a teacher must be careful of is not to confuse RAPPORT with FRIENDSHIP.
    Stunning job, Ileana. I hope you'll do even better in future lessons!
