b. Brief narrative or description of the speaking lesson

 This was my first speaking session with group A, in fact it was my first session of the Pedagogical Experience II. At the beginning of the lesson I was very scared because it was the first time I taught online but I was taking it very naturally with the minutes.

c. How successful were activities and materials??

I think that to be the first activity that I designed for this type of meeting, the students were very receptive and participative in each of the activities and moments of the speaking session.

d. What departures did you make from the original lesson plan??

As it was my first activity, I followed the lesson plan I had designed to the letter, I could not get the 90 minutes that were required because I finished the lesson and I did not know what else to do.

e. What difficulties did learners experience in different stages of the lesson??

Several of the students do not handle almost the English language, do not understand more than words and that causes them to get lost and ramble during the session. I have recommended them to practice much more as long as they can.

f. What aspects of the lesson did you feel were particularly successful??

The interaction with the students was generally very good. They were very happy to be able to do this kind of activities and they manifested it constantly during the speaking session.

g. What aspects of the lesson did not work particularly well?? Why??

The first thing was that I did not know how to handle the students who did not speak the language at all. The second thing is that I did not know what to do when the material was finished and barely took 82 minutes.

h. What aspects of the les son should be done differently next time??

No doubt I must have some exits for when I finish the material and the time of the speaking session has not yet finished. I think I have to practice much more the interaction with the students so they can talk more and practice.

b. Brief narrative or description of the speaking lesson

 This lesson is about unit 11 of the reference document of the Basic English I course. The ways of the past are studied so that students can narrate previous events.

c. How successful were activities and materials??

I think they were very successful, the students are always very comfortable with the materials that are presented to them and they show great interest in participating in each of the speaking sessions.

d. What departures did you make from the original lesson plan??

I usually try to follow the lesson plan very carefully to manage the times and thus be able to fulfill each of the objectives, however, I asked some students about their places of origin to encourage them to talk a little more.

e. What difficulties did learners experience in different stages of the lesson??

This group is composed of people who handle the language very well, in fact I believe that there are people who should not be in Basic English I because they have a very advanced level. For example, we have a student who lives in Canada and speaks it perfectly.

f. What aspects of the lesson did you feel were particularly successful??

When I put the students to interact with each other, the conversation was very pleasant and they felt very comfortable doing the exercises and activities.

g. What aspects of the lesson did not work particularly well?? Why??

I think there are some problems with the Internet connection of some of the students, so communication does not become very effective at times. However, it can be solved at the moment and the activity is carried out properly.

h. What aspects of the les son should be done differently next time??

I consider that I have to do more interactions among the students because sometimes they only talk to me and I have found that they feel very comfortable talking to each other.
