Week 5

Last nights class went by really quickly. We spent our time trying to explain the concept of verbs and the different forms of them. Though we planned for this to take around 30 minutes, it ended up taking up around an hour and a half. Even after taking up the entire class, we noticed that there were some learners which were still confused about the material. We understand that the concept is difficult to learn in one class which is why we tried our hardest to make sure that as many people as possible were able to understand the material. We have decided that for our next class we will go over the same idea again for around 30 minutes because I believe that it is a very important concept for the learners to understand. Aside from the difficulty of the material, the learners really enjoyed the class yesterday, there was a lot of laughter after we read the Fast Money story because one of the learners was being quite the comedian. In general I am enjoying teaching with Language Bridges because I feel that what I am teaching is making a difference in the lives of the learners. As a teacher I realize how important it is for the learners to understand the concept before moving onto the next thing. Our learners appreciate the fact that Reham and I take our time to make sure that everyone understands what is happening before we move onto the next thing.
