my profession as a teacher

  • i want to tell you about my first experience in teaching in a school. i entered grade 11 and i was afraid that there will be some students that know vocabulary and speak fluently more than i do. i was afraid to make some mistakes in pronunciation. till now and after 4 months of teaching i am less worried. because i befriended my students but still i am worried about my language. few days ago we have in our country the teachers' day and i asked my students to write whatever bothers them from me or the techniques i use or the language. they all love me. 90% did not write anything just praising. but i had one paper in which my student said your language is not so good for grade 11 students. others mentioned you have spelling mistakes. i guess they meant pronunciation and not spelling but they misused the word. you know my feeling! these few papres are honest. i want to improve because i know exactly what level i have. if they love me and praise me i would know that they are either flttering me or their english is so weak so that they can not realize my faults. please i need help. i surfed the internet to communicate with native english ones but all was in vain. can i have help here?

    teacherjoe I agree with admin. My own first teaching experience was similar, although I was teaching French in the United States. Just keep on going, keep on improving, and you will be a great teacher!
