Ailin's Second Report

Last session, first of all, we took our listening exam which lasted about 15 minutes. Then we started doing the exercises of the workbook and as you explained to us, we did these exercises together and I helped four of my friends to do the exercises. It was a really good experience because I helped my friends to answer the questions and I felt really helpful. We did the exercises to gather. For instance, I asked Sarah to read the reading on page 26 and then I asked Maryam to read the answer to post reading questions.

I really felt as if I was a real teacher and I wish that the teacher will use this strategy for the next sessions. The only problem was that one of my classmates had some problems with me and could not accept that I was the leader of the group and she did not listen to my answers, but other members of my team really cooperated with me.

I personally like the concept of group work and team work, not only because I was the leader of the group, but also because it increases collaboration among students of a class. We worked on the all exercises of lesson 2 and I solved my friends’ problems.
