At the beginning I defintly tried to do the same
espcially when faced with teaching a class of children in a language I didn’t
understand! However the challenge was defintly a good thing because I am proud
of some things I have accomplished here which I would have avoided attempting
if I had been given the chance. For example after my first session in Banguoa I
never would have thought I would be able to teach three hours of class alone to
frenchh speakers but I managed to by the end! In terms of practical skills I
have learnt how to talk in front of a group of people without feeling terrified
and that I must speak much slower and clearer when talking to a group of
people. I have learnt about the kind of management style I have when given the
oppertunity. Being team leader for English was a challenge because I found it
difficullt to order people I consider friends to do things but I have learnt
that if the ultimate reponsibility for the task falls to you you have to do
everything possible to make sure it is completed.
