This wonderful journey has come to an end!

This wonderful journey has come to an end. I have to say I am very pleased with everything I learned and all the nice experiences I went through during my Social Service. Even though my receiving institution is not a public school, many students were able to benefit from my social service. Most students got engaged in activities which helped them to improve their language skills to a great extent. The school does not offer learners this kind of service for free; learners would have to pay if they wanted to engage in a conversation course, for instance. After having carried out interviews, analyzed students’ performance and reflected on the overall outcomes of the courses, I’ve drawn the conclusion that it was really useful for students since students who actively participated in the presentations and in the conversation course considerably improved their speaking and writing skills. I am also pleased to have been able to help organize and make material such as cues and visuals so that teachers can use them in their classrooms. I am really grateful to the receiving institution for having given me the opportunity to carry out my social service there. Thanks everybody for everything I learned and for all the wonderful experiences I went through during my social service.

About to call it a day!

The Social Service is coming to an end and the students, who are taking part of it, are not happy about that. I’ll share some of the things I did during the last weeks. I made material, visuals and cues. I laminated the visuals to keep them in good condition. I promoted the presentations and worked on planning them. They are really helping learners improve their communication and writing skills. I kept on working with the group of children. They had the chance to engage in making some projects and share them with other classes. I continued with the conversation course. Some of the students who are attending the presentations joined us in the Conversation course. I planned my classes. I also reflected on my performance and as well as on my students’ performance. This has helped me a lot to improve by making changes.   

I’ll get back soon!
