Özlem's mistakes
Today, I
talked about Erikson's psychosocial stages of development in the class. I think
I was very excited and there were still some pronunciation problems. Moreover,
I read from slides; however, I was good at speaking speed...I should
practice a lot before I talk.

Özlem's mistake
Well,
today, I taught my students prepositions in Methodology class with Direct
Method. While I was teaching, I used the whiteboard, I drew a box and a ball to
show prepositions like in, on, between, under etc.. For example, the ball is on
the box, or the ball is under the box. Some students became a bit confused.
They asked me ‘Hocam, How can the box stay on the box’. Therefore, I wish I'd
taught them by using objects. For
instance, I could bring a box and a ball. I could show and I could make the
lesson enjoyable.
Özlem's Beliefs about Teaching and Learning
How I
decided to become a teacher?
I have
wanted to be a teacher since my childhood because teachers are everything for
me. When I was a child, I didn’t know anything about education, but my teachers
taught me. I was very lucky as my all teachers in my life made me to like
school especially my English teacher. Therefore, I decided to be an English
teacher.
What do I
like about teaching?
The thing I
love the most about teaching is when kids get something new they become surprised
and they wonder about it, so to learn the new thing, they endeavor and after they
learn, it they become happy. Therefore, I like teaching because I like to see
that happiness in their eyes. It is also my happiness. I love make someone aware of life or something
good. In addition to these, I want to add that to become good and effective, I
should be a well educated, patient, supportive, respectful, and enjoy full
teacher.
What kind
of teacher would I like to be?
Firstly, I
want to complete my full education degree. I should be well educated and experienced. I
must learn everything about teaching well because I don’t want to teach my
students anything wrong. They must trust me. Moreover, I should be very
patient. Teaching requires being patient because being a learner it is not easy
to learn something that you heard the first time in your time. I also want to
be enjoying full. Actually, I must be enjoying full because if you don’t make
the class enjoy, learning will be boring.
