When I was a child, my parents enrolled me in an English Club. It was taught by an Australian couple. They taught us in a way that I considered it was very didactic. Today that I have learnt a bit more about learning strategies and approaches, I realize that it was the same as I’ve been learning the latest years.
They taught us about Australia, its people, their way of life and its culture using pictures, images and different things. I went to the English Club three times a week after going home from school for almost two years and I learnt a lot. And I stopped studying with them because they went back to Australia.
When I finished school, I kept learning English in different institutions. I did not like the way those institutions taught English because I thought they were going to teach like the Australian couple. These new teachers just focused on grammar. Their pronunciation was not good, they were not motivated. I didn’t like it at all and, and I haven’t been able to find the same motivation to improve and fulfill my goals yet.
i founded very interesting at the moment of scanning this reflection and i never thought that you took part in an english class with native speakers, that is SUPER! i think that is one of the best ways to learn a second language and even more with real english speakers because fortunately they are way more advanced than teachers from here who only do their class focusing on grammar, we've seen this even in our university, it such a shame but when people are not motivated, this attitude will be reflected on their students. so we as future teachers must erase that poor attitude and be funny and creative when we get into the educational system for good.
