At the beginning of this course I stated that I “want to have more of a sense of authority and gain experience for the future if I get a job in the ESL field.” Since that statement I have learned to create activities for an ESL classroom and develop lesson plans, along with evaluating textbooks and developing better conversation skills with language learners. Being able to create my own lesson plans is the most important skill I have learned this semester. I feel that, with hands-on practice, I am prepared for the ESL classroom due to this course.
