Hi guys, this is actually my first post in my entire life
about teaching. enjoy!
Well, maybe teaching is not my passion (yet) but since God
has chosen this path for me, I’m trying as hard as I can to be a good teacher :)))
Sooo I'm not a very well trained teacher, I struggle sooooo hard in handling the students. Especially in a large class. Yet, my very first teaching experience wasn't that bad (actually it was really fun :D).
As usual, I start the new class with the introduction. I introduced my self to my students in a really usual way like 'Hi guys.. nice to see you all, we've never met before.. My name's Lady' and bla bla bla... Seriously, I got sooo nervous and I don't know how to introduce myself in other 'cool' way.
After that, I asked them to introduce themselves too by mentioning their name, their interest, and so on. At first, they gave me their name and their address like 'My name's Nabil. I live in Batununggal 11' and after it came to the next student, they keep giving me that 'unsual' name for Indonesian like 'Brittany', 'Poppy'. (well at least for me it's unsual XD) and they also gave me the same address with different number. Ok I admit that it was my fault because I didn't realize it thaaat they actually were trying to fool me. Gotcha! They gave me that 'fake' name and address. lol o m g... It took so long to just realize it.
I like to call them with their name. So when I found it, I laughed so hard and just called them with 'their' name.
Even they didn't give me their real name, I still think they're cute. hahaha
Maybe that was not a really good story, but that was the thing I remember the most about my very first teaching experience. It left something and it will be forever in my mind.
And because of them, I got my very first lesson in teaching: Always know your student first before they find out about you. hehehe...
do you have any favorite teaching experience in new class? please do share with me :D
