Week 7

Last week, we were so busy with our homeworks, papers and all other stuff. Our language bridge class is on Tuesday. Hassan and I were so busy doing our tasks, and suddenly it is 6:35 pm. We comprehended that its Tuesday, our language bridge class, and we didn’t prepare anything for it. We kind of got panic attack We saw 2 of our colleagues asked them what are they going to do for their LB class, and they said some grammar lesson. We went quickly to the classroom, trying to figure out what are we going to do. Hassan turned on the computer, tried to find any helping videos. And I cut small papers, wrote down some words. My idea was to let each student pick up a paper and tell us anything about it. It was a speaking lesson.

Students arrived around 7 pm. We started with this exercise. We gave them 5 minutes to think about the words they have, and then each of the students talk about it. Then, we played Hangman game, they have to think of a word that is exist in the classroom. Then we used a video “5 important phrasal verbs for English learners” to teach them 5 different phrasal verbs and how and where they can use them. After that, we had 4 online pictures, we numbered them from 1 to 4. Each student had to choose a number and write a story about the picture corresponds to that number. The students had to include at least one of the 5 phrasal verbs that they learned earlier in the class. We thought it is good thing for them to apply what they learned in this exercise. The students had 15 minutes to write a story about the pictures they had, and then they share their stories with the others.

At the end, we had 10 minutes till 8:30. We showed them a video that explains “Common English Errors: I or am? She or her? They or them?”. It was very useful, and we explained it very quickly, and the class was over. Thank God we toke care of it without any plans or preparing for it, it was such a dilemma. The class went well and the students enjoyed the class and learned new things.
