• Explain your short- and long term goals as an elt practitioner, and how you plan to reach them.

In a long term my goal as a practitioner is to teach and help students to potentiate his/her abilities in the English language and to achieve that goal, I will increase my own knowledge in the language putting in to practice the four macro skills in every lesson delivered, reading articles (http://www.teach-nology.com/tutorials/teaching/teachingskills.html) and watching videos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwI-mNRW9Mc&feature=youtu.be) to enhance all the principles acquired in didactics subjects.

In a short term I will adapt myself to this new experience called “teaching” attending all the practices related to didactics subjects and involving myself with the educational environment.

It is clear that in any situation, we as a teachers, want our students to achieve good results. For this, teachers must have goals. In my case was kind of difficult because my children had never received English classes. However, it was such a great experience because I learned a lot from my little students and I’m sure that they learned something from me as well.

Along these weeks I have been teaching English to children as a foreign language and it is a very good experience.. I have made some goals that I want to achieve for and with them. For example, I want to be a very good practitioner for them, a creative person that is able to make them learn in the best way as possible. I want to be a responsible teacher because kids deserve it and it is necessary to be a good teacher. I want to make children learn in a deductive and inductive way, because both are necessary, at the beginning they learn from what I teach to hem but later on if you apply good techniques in order to make a good education progress they will be able to learn by their own based on the things that I have taught them.
