Back to school

This blog will be some thoughts I have during my first few days in school. I was assigned not to teach classes by myself but to assist a teacher who is overloaded. Initially I didn't feel very good that I was treated like a teacher's aid more than a relief teacher, but later, I was really glad that this teacher I was to help is really open to sharing her ideas and helping me grow in terms of preparing to teach English.

Lesson preparation is more important than teaching. Choosing and presenting the resource appropraitely lays everything in the correct order.

Preparing to help students with Oral Exams also allows me to assess my own communication skills, presentation confidence and logical order of thought. This probably is something I should bear in mind during interviews. Afterall, it is all about being an effective communicator/ conversationist.
