Social Service Activitiy 1

There are definitely some areas I have to work on. For instance, I am not good at researching; it's always been one of my weak areas. I have learned to reflect on my teaching practice and find out what is wrong then I try to take appropriate actions in order to improve my teaching practice for the benefit of my learners and for my own professional development. However, dealing with theories of investigation is something I usually have trouble with. To be honest, I have to find ways to improve this area so as to be able to achieve academic and professional success.

Another area I think I have to work on is about making decisions and solving problems related to our professional practice. Decision making and problem solving are no doubt two crucial skills every teacher should have since before, during and after a lesson we are to make important decisions and we definitely should deal with problem solving in our everyday teaching in order to achieve an effective teaching.

 Comparing and contrasting different theories, methods and principles so as to choose the most suitable for a given context is something I have improved over the last few years. Every time I plan and teach a lesson I try to present the target language in a context so that students feel as if they were using the language in the real world.

I think I have considerably improved the selection and use of appropriate material to cue and prompt learners so as to help them achieve successful learning.

When it comes to talk about problems I have with the language I can say that I really have to work on my listening comprehension skill and I have to increase my lexis.

I am really pleased to have taken this BA in ELT since it has helped me to improve my teaching to a great extent.
