Well, now we have finished this course and we had to say good bye to our students from the social service. After it was really difficult at the beginning because the different ages of my students, when I had to work on activities for three different levels and when it was hard because there were some students from 1st grad. I had to work very hard on this project to finish it and to do it, but when as a teacher I see my students learning and getting better step by step it can become very satisfactory.
Most of the students worked very well and learned a lot, they now are able to build simple sentences and even write correctly the words. The best thing of it is that they now like the language and they say it. On the other hand, there are students who didn´t have too much advance and the reason is that the language is very difficult for them, they got to learn some, but they still have to work more to get better. In fact these students that din´t advanced are not likely to learn english and they say that they don´t like it.
These last week we were working on oral activities, where they had to go in front of the classmates and give information about them. When we finished the activities I asked some question like: if they like the language, how they feel when they go in front, how they feel now when they finished the course about their learning and their advance and they answered my questions. Most of them said that they like the language, that they have learned a lot, and that they still feel a little nervous when they go in front of the classmates.
To finish with, it was very good working with them and very satisfactory to see that changed their idea of the language and how they learned with thesde classes.
