     Now our lessons are devoted to 4 skills. The first skill is listening. It's receptive skill. We spoke about intensive and extensive listening, listening levels and skills, listening principles, criteria to choose a suitable listening text, writing questions to go with an authentic listening text , staging a listening lesson.
      And now some words about my lesson. It was devoted  Money. My pupils heard the dialog   between 2  students. They heard 2 times. It's good, at least 2 times they had to listen  for practicing. Then they did activities according to the material, which they had heard.
    It's  important to remember about  peculiarities of you pupils' age.  However, a number of important differences between adult and child learning and between first and second language acquisition must be carefully accounted for.  For example, primary school students have their peculiarities, we should think about it. In the first part of lesson student should  recognize, understand. The second part of lesson  is devoted to practice.  Remember it.




                                                            
 
    Next  week was devoted to teaching pronunciation. We had 2 lesson , for the first one we prepared seminar about teaching pronunciation. We spoke about presentation of new material, system of exercises for consolidation, classroom techniques and materials, pronunciation practice. Of course we spoke about methods in teaching pronunciation. We can read words all together(I mean pupils), then as groups. then individually. And It's good idea to use rhymes.
I know some, but I'll add rhymes.
  I would like to speak about knowledge of children's learning of their first language provides
essential insights to an understanding of SLA. If he oder she  did not know his language and he /she can't  understand it. Also I wanted to  speak  about my lesson.  The theme are English speaking  countries. Pupils were taught  how correctly pronounce word. System of activities for  teaching pronunciation. It's important of course.
   Our next week was devoted to teaching vocabulary. Of course, before lessons planning we had the seminar devoted to teaching vocabulary. We spoke about how to present a  new material, activities to familiarize students with new vocabulary, creative and productive exercises,vocabulary assessment.
   But I would like to write about my lesson. The theme was Seasons. I prepared cards, presentation, activities. It had a system of  activities. First of all it's recognition  of new words, their pronunciation, spelling, meanings. Then we will use it in practice with help of exercises like matching, drill, speech preparatory exercises, communicative usage.
  It's important to teach vocabulary. You should increase their lexicon. Then they will be able to produce a good speech, with synonyms, without mistake.

The 8th week was very interesting for me, because it was about teaching grammar. Teaching grammar is one of the most important parts of teaching grammar. I prepared my lesson for this week, it was about the degrees of comparison of adjectives.

   When you are going to teach grammar, you should choose between inductive and deductive approaches. I decided to choose inductive approach. It's when students should guess the theme of grammar through exercises. I like my plan,  because I created book with exercises for my lesson and my group mates were glad to learn through interesting book with exercises. It was connected with my theme of lesson Fairy tale. Of course, I used system of exercises which we learned through  lection. They are presentation of grammar, than recognition , drill, identification, imitation and other. I had excellent mark for my lesson and it’s  a  good  motivation to learn about methodology more and more. I will be a teacher, I want it, and I will do my best for it.

   I would  like to write some words about  affective domains. Important feelings for me are   self-esteem and risk-taking. They  connected to each other.  Risk- taking is an important characteristic of successful learning of a second language learning.  I didn’t  use to take risk, but now  I think I was not right. We should try to do something  useful for us , must to take  a  risk  because  if  you don’t  do that, you will unhappy.  Another emotion is  self-esteem. It depends on us. It expresses  an attitude of approval or disapproval, successfulness and worthiness. Than less important emotions for me   are  anxiety and prohibition.  Of course, it’s normal to feel emotions of apprehension, because we are learning a foreign  language. We can afraid of  troubles at first time of learning. Next feeling is inhibition.  It protects language ego.  Next  emotions  are  empathy and  extroversion, which included in affective domains. Empathy is useful for us, future  teachers. We should understand what our pupils are feeling. We must help them if it is necessary for them. And what about extroversion or introversion. I like to communicate, but I think I am an  introvert.
   I might feel a sense of a second ego developing within me,  since I  started to  study at the institute. At school my  learning of English was not my main aim, but now I realized in importance of that fact. I am getting used  to learn another   culture, intonation, specific gestures, peculiarities of English people. And part of me  linked with language and his right usage.
   Of course  my tendencies  should change. It  doesn’t  mean, that I must not develop my abilities. I have some problems with pronunciation and it is influencing  on my self-esteem. I am doing my best for solving this problem. When I solve this problem my self-esteem will higher. It is good.
   I am an introvert. I think it is better to be extrovert if you going to be a teacher. I am a sensing student, it’s good. Students  of that type are open, flexible, adaptable to change and new experiences. They are good qualities for future teachers. I am a judger. I try to do my work systematically  and in time. I am a thinker. Analyzing  my work and actions is a good capability for teacher. That is my characteristic. And I think I have some qualities for being good teacher. I will try.

At  school, when I started  to  learn foreign  language, I was intrinsically motivated and now  nothing
 changed. I want to know English very well, because I am going to be a teacher. My knowledge is that I will teach pupils, and I should make my aims become  true.
