My English Teacher Made Me Teach a Class

Being a student can be quite intimidating especially when the English teacher singles you out and asks you to teach a language class. That is what happened to me last week when my English teacher suddenly had an emergency and needed me to take over her class. I was nervous and scared, but I decided to take on the challenge.

Preparing for the Class

Before the class, I had to ensure that I had all the materials needed to engage the students and pass on knowledge. I started by reviewing my notes and the lesson plan that my teacher had left for me. I spent hours going through different resources online and reading various materials to ensure that the class was informative and engaging. I also had to prepare some activities to make the class more interactive.

The Class

On the day of the class, I went early to the classroom and set up the materials. As soon as the students started coming in, I felt a wave of nervousness, but I put on a brave face and started the class. I began by introducing myself and asking the students to do the same. I then explained the new English topic for the day and gave them a brief background on the topic. We then had a discussion on the different aspects of the topic, and I ensured that all students participated in the discussion.

After the discussion, I conducted some activities to test their understanding of the topic. The activities were fun and engaging, and the students seemed to enjoy them. We then went through some vocabulary, and I explained the meanings and usage of each word. I also gave them some homework to revise and practice what we had learned in the class. I ended the class by summarizing the topic and asking the students if they had any questions.

The Aftermath

After the class, I felt relieved and proud of myself for taking up the challenge. My English teacher was pleased with my performance and congratulated me. The students also complimented me and thanked me for a great class. I felt a sense of accomplishment, and it made me realize that I have the potential to be a great teacher. This experience has taught me the importance of preparation, confidence, and taking risks. I will forever cherish this memory.

Conclusion

Teaching an English class may seem intimidating, but with enough preparation, it is achievable. As a student, it is crucial to embrace challenges and take risks. I am grateful to my English teacher for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to teach a class. It was an experience that I will never forget.
