I will admit, I do not\nknow if this class helped all that much with \u201clearning and utilizing the\nlanguage teaching skills\u201d gained from the lessons in this course that would\nhelp me move forward in learning new languages myself. However, you did point\nthat out, so it is not exactly something that was unexpected. Though, I absolutely\ndid learn about how to write a good lesson plan. I thought lesson planning was\nsomething that was extremely hard, and that I was going to have a lot of\ntrouble with trying to formulate one. After all, the biggest complaint I have\nheard from teachers is doing lesson planning. So I was actually surprised when\nthe assignment came around and I did not have much trouble with it. Of course,\nit was not perfect, but it turned out so much better than I had imagined. That\nmakes me a little excited to be able to write a decent lesson plan. I have no\nidea when I will ever utilize that skill, but I have it now. Ideally, you would\nwant a student to have met ALL objectives placed in the syllabus, but I am\ngoing to be completely honest. My skills are very weak when it comes to some of\nthese objectives (for example, I still am not the best in creating specific\nactivities that might benefit a class). Regardless of that, I still learned a\nlot that could be useful going forward. I think one of the most meaningful things\nI learned this semester was the whole lesson plan process. I absolutely enjoyed\nthat more than I thought I would. Now this is not to say I want to become a\nteacher, because I am still absolutely sure I do not. But I would not mind doing\nanother lesson plan. I also enjoyed learning about the different teaching\nmethods (such as CLT). I mean overall this class was enjoyable. It was a nice\nchange of pace from my other English classes, but it also overlapped with them\nas well. I think I will stick with Linguistics, though. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
