    The document discusses the author's first experience teaching adults and the lessons learned. They found it challenging at first but were able to develop their skills with supervision and feedback. Observing other teachers helped them prepare activities targeting grammar and writing for foundation level students. Through teaching they identified strengths like differentiating activities, but also weaknesses like needing more time for activities. Receiving mentor feedback provided an outside perspective and confirmed building rapport as a goal. Attending reading meetings exposed them to exam design and appropriate iPad applications.

    Opening the Door

    (Sep 14th 18th 2014)


    Teaching adults was a challenge to myself because I have been used to
    teaching younger students. However, I have found it doable especially
    after my first time to teach adults for 50 minutes with supervision.
    Thus, nothing is impossible and trying is the challenge to decide
    whether to continue or apply new strategies.
    After doing different observations last semester, I felt that it is time for
    me to apply what I have observed and identify what I need to develop
    in my teaching strategies and skills. From my point of view, standing at
    the back to observe is different from standing in front of students to
    teach because the responsibilities have been changed. To be specific, I
    prepared different activities to teach level 1 foundation students and
    the target of the lesson was grammar and writing. After introducing the
    lesson and applying the activities, I have discovered my weaknesses
    and strengths within the lesson. As an example, I have found that I had
    to less the number of activities because learners needed more time to
    finish them. Whereas, I was able to differentiate the activities
    according to different interaction patterns.
    Besides, delivering feedback from my mentor on the lesson was
    fundamental as I was able to see it from a different point of view. My
    mentor commented that I am trying to build good rapport with learners
    and this is one of my top goals for this year.
    In addition, attending the reading meeting with other experienced
    teachers gave me an insight into different aspects regarding teaching
    reading. In fact, we have discussed the way of putting exams. For
    example, they discussed the type of questions, such as multiple choice
    or filling in the gaps. Also, they negotiated which iPad applications are
    appropriate for the different activities as they agreed on using

    the importance of assessment in the learning and teaching process.
