Report on strengths and needs.

Well to be honest the place where I´m going to do my social service is the same place where I work. After time teaching at this school I have found some problems. In my opinion some of them can be: there is only one teacher for 206 students (me), some groups just have two classes per week, some parents don´t support their children and others don´t understand the language, also there is not enough time to practice reading and oral activities. On the following lines I´m going back up my opinions.

There is only one teacher for 206 students (me): Well, this can be a problem having in mind the fact that I´m the only one English teacher in the school. I have to teach to 11 groups and the problem here is that I only teach twice a week to some groups and just three of the eleven groups receive three classes per week, every class is 50 minutes long.

Some groups just have two classes per week: As I said before I only teach two classes per week to eight groups, this can be a problem because I don´t have to much time to work as I would like to. I only have to focus on the book and I rarely use the notebook.

Some parents don´t support their children and others don´t understand the language: There are parents who don´t support their children, I mean they almost never do the homework and there other parents who don´t speak English and even if they want to is more difficult for them to help their children.

 Also there is not enough time to practice reading and oral activities: Taking into account the fact that I just have some classes, I almost don´t have time to work activities that aren´t in the book.

These last reasons are the most important for me and are the ones I could considerate to use in my needs analysis.
