Teaching Approach
Even if I am still learning how to teach correctly, it is certain that I already have an idea of what kind of teacher I am going to be.
In my everyday life I love to be the center of attention and to make my friends laugh. I will definitely use this as one of my strong feature.
I remember very well how it was when I was in High School and how boring teachers can be. I'm not going to be one of them. I promise myself to keep track of what's "in" and what's "out" so I can be the "coolest" teacher in the school. I am not saying that I won't do discipline or let my classes go crazy, but I intend to have fun and keep it respectful.
The subjects I will talk the most will be travel, culture, music and movies. It is certain that I will include also activities on other topics, but these four will be the center of my teaching. If we include sports, those 5 topics are, in my opinion, what interest students the most. I had the chance to do a research for one of my University classes about music and learning. The results were really interesting and prove that music is good to use for learning because it is something important for students (for the whole essay, download the PDF file at the bottom of this page). So if it is true for music, it will be true also for "pop culture" and sports.
I will concentrate my classes on activities and projects so students will be involved at 100% in their learning process. I don't know if it will be possible but I aim to create all of my lesson plans so I will fully understand every activity that will be done in my class.
Like I mentioned at the beginning of this section, I am still learning how to be a good teacher, maybe my approach will change within the end of my study who knows?
