Some Words about School Practice №2

I’ve recently finished my practice at school. During this period I’ve got the experience of teaching the 11-grade students. Hence, one of the main difficulties was to make students do something, because they took me as their peer and didn’t see the necessity to listen to me as a teacher.

I don’t think that the foreign-language teaching at school № 19 is ineffective. Teachers of this school try to make their lessons as more effective as possible. Especially, I approve the usage of the Interprises and CD-discs. However, I suppose that students need more interactive methods of studying and more freedom, which support their individualities (it concerns the high classes). Besides, I would like to change the topics of lessons in the first semester. Such themes repeat from year to year and annoy the students. As for me it’s rather boring to speak about on the same thing each year (I mean the topic “School” and everything concerns it). Moreover, it would be great to use the Internet, presentations and so on at the lessons, but we are faced with the lack of technical equipment. And one more thing, which I dislike at school. It’s the lack of time and therefore the race for the curriculum.
