Report on Practical Training. Teacher Training and Corrective Feedback

Internship Report from the year 2015 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 1,6, University of Frankfurt (Main), language: English, abstract: I expect of this practical training to be as informative as my first one, and I hope that my mentor supports me and provides advice concerning my lesson planning. My goals for the practical training with regards to my personal development as a professional teacher are to learn clearly formulated and structured instructions in English, so that the students (almost immediately) know what they have to do. Another important issue for me is the organization and time-management of lessons: I want to know how to structure and organize a lesson in a diversified way and still be able to reach the required competencies and push the whole class forward, not only the good ones. A very personal goal would be to hold myself back during my teaching time, because I know I tend to exaggerate, comment and talk too much. Of course these are some character traits that also belong to my teacher personality, but I have to train myself in patience, for example when I have to wait for the students participation. In other words, from time to time I want to yield my leading role to the students.
