What makes a good teacher?

As this year I may finish the English Teacher Training College, I feel that it's time to reflect on what type of teacher am I? Or what type of teacher I would like to be? I must confess that I'm a bit bossy but also friendly.
This year, I started working at secondary school. At the beginning I was worried but then I started enjoying it. My students are nice (I'm lucky!) and I enjoy talking about their future careers and give them advice.
In my moments of reflection, I've found this interesting article of Unicef called 'What makes a good teacher?' 500 children from 50 countries gave their opinion on what they consider what a good teacher is. Do you wanna know the answer?

Hi there!!Today I bring an article for you about How to manage bad behaviour in the classroom.Have you ever dealt with a disruptive student?Have you wondered whether your reaction was the correct one or not?I almost sure you have.
 I think there is not a recipe to cope with bad behaviour but we have to keep in mind different strategies to use when we need it.I hope it'll be useful for you😉 Noelia

 Hi there! I think that studying for exams can be stressful. I find it quite difficult to stay focused on what I'm reading. So. it's important to prepare summaries in advance. Walking around my house while repeating the information is very useful for me, and I exercise at the same time ha ha...
I share with you some tips for the following exams. DON'T PROCRASTINATE!

In my opinion, exams are highly stressful.However,I think they are really necessary.Before an exam, I need to read and summary all the texts.It's crucial to be present in every class and read the material beforehand,otherwise I feel lost throughout the explanation or discussion .I find it very useful to study with a partner in order to discuss any doubt.At least, these are my strategies.

My baby

After reading (again) about FLA, I started paying more attention to my son's utterances. He can definitively understand more than what he actually produces.  He is in the 'two-word stage' and he can communicate with phrases like: 'Yes, please' or 'Thank you, mom'. Besides, I enjoy listening to him while he tries to produce a new item that calls his attention. He's so cute! I cannot help talking to him in a motherese way!

Hello everyone!!! After reading and discussing in class about First Language Acquisition, I want to share with you this brief video which summarizes some important concepts.I hope you enjoy it!! Noelia
