My teaching practice

Today something very positive happened as far as my teaching practice.But let's start from the beginning. Because the teacher who observed my lessons couldn't come to my lesson I decided to video tape it. You know my technical skills so I was horrified as I had never used cam corder before. The school I had practice in is not one of the best so to say. The students are quite misbehaved and I was really afraid of the lesson. Besides their level of English is low (poor teacher by the way). I had some problems getting the right tape to the camera as the shop assistants said they hadn't even training as for the cameras and find the person who would be so good as to find some time to record my lesson.Finally I found Monika who without hesitation agreed to do it(Thank you so much:) But despite the difficulties I had the lesson turned out to be quite successful. It wasn't work of art and I made some mistakes when I listen to it but at least they were participating. I was so shocked as they were listening to me and even seemed to understand what I was explaining.It turns out that camera is a good thing if you want to discipline the students. All in all I am very happy and hope that I will solve my problems with my action research as well.

Writing my B.A

The topic of my B.A is as follows:"What grammatical errors do students of high school make during free-speaking activities". As you can see it is pretty long and thorough. Why have I chosen this topic? hmm let me think. I had virtually no idea what do write about and one day my friend told me that maybe errors is something interesting to delve into and I said why not. So far I have written the theoretical part of my thesis and now I have to focus on the practical part. It is not that easy as my action research as they call it will involve recording at least a few groups of learners in at least two free-speaking activities which is ok but I have not got much time for that. There is going to be the mature exam in high school any day now and I may have problems with this. Also I heard that some headmasters of high schools don't want to allow students to recors their learners as they are afraid of 'losing face'.I do hope that there will be one friendly headmaster that will not be afraid of that because otherwise I will not finish my B. A. this year which would be a disaster.Summing up I regret that I did not start to do it earlier.

White Massai

Yesterday I was watching a very good film. Its title is "White Massei(die WeiMassai) in German. It is a brilliant drama film and the book is very good too (although I haven't had the opportunity to read it yet).What is even more surprising is that this film is based on true story

Here is a short summary of the film:

*At the end of her holidays in Kenya, Swiss businesswoman Carola, meets the Samburu warrior, Lemalian, who cuts a handsome figure with his weapons and traditional dress. Carola falls in love and on impulse, cancels her return flight and sends her boyfriend home alone. The love of her life turns into a arduous journey taking her to the limits...

Happy Easter

Although I don't like Easter that much I wish all of you who happen to browse my blog all the best nice family atmosphere, and do not learn if you don't have to(I am going to do it though) and Resurrected Christ bless you.

There will be no Easter this year

I have good news for those of you who, like me, not neccessarily are looking forward to Easter . Somebody has eaten the Easter Bunny, guess who?

LIttle Britain:)

I would like to encourage you to watch at least one of the series of this hilarious comedy:). This is a compilation of short sketches which take a wry look at Britain, with comically absurd statements on the nation's character.There are only two actors playing the main characters and they do it brilliantly believe me! Some of the characters are: a homosexual who believes that he is the only gay in the village, Andy who pretends to need a wheelchair in order to have a personal carer(Lou) to do his chores, Anne a part-time mental health patient , Sebastian Love an aide to the Prime Minister who is infatuated with the P.M. and many more.
This show is broadcast every Friday tvp2 10:40p.m you must see it!!!

My carrer in K.J.O

The three years of my studying in the college passed so fast:(. I have always wanted to study English and when I came here I knew I wanted to be a teacher of English. Although life can be tough here I still think that this is what I want to do. I surely will miss most of the colleagues and the friendly atmosphere that our teachers created for us.Hope that some of you are going to continue studies at IFA and that I will keep in touch at least with some of you.
Thank you Anka , Agus, Mary and many more for your help.
I would also like to thank Mrs. Lewandowska for her great patience with my computer skills:) and that somehow she managed to see some progress in my actions concerning IT.
Thank you all:):):)
