My journey as a teacher: a report on my internship at an english medium school.

Abstract

This report is based on the experience that I gathered during my internship in Fulbright School (pseudonym) focusing on a self-evaluation of my teaching. I had high expectation for bringing out the best from the students and always tried to motivate the students. There were mix of different kinds of students. I tried to establish a good teacher-student relationship and understand each student treating them individually and making proper assessment. I always tried to maintain professionalism and a good relationship with colleagues. In this paper I also mentioned about reflective practice, qualities of good and effective teacher, Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), task-based teaching, selecting best method for teaching and some challenges of teaching in Bangladeshi context. I always tried to make progress by using different methods depending on the context. This paper also includes various problems and obstacles that I had during my internship and how did I overcome those ensuring a good and safe learning environment. Here, I talked about what I learnt from this journey and how I can use this experience in my future teaching. I also gave recommendations that should be implemented to make the learning process better and more effective.
