1.INTRODUCTION
The portfolio is developed as a technique for
improving the teaching-learning process where our work is documented to achieve
knowledge and our greatest achievements.
In the course of my life, every passing moment I learned something new, in fact, our life is a constant learning, since we started to walk, to speak, write and read. So I find it very important to capture through this portfolio my experience in this learning process, especially in my learning a second language.
From my early days in school, I must admit that I really was not interested in learning English, maybe I did not seem important; Also, my teachers insentibaban not in my the taste for that language, classes were becoming boring and even I felt fear when I started the class. Thus passed the years of learning English in my school, until one day I get a teacher who really had the vocation to teach this language, an achievement that I began to like, I felt motivation and even I decided to become a teacher of English; It was and start this way, in which I have lived many experiences. Here, it reflects the understanding of my learning and my little teaching experience.

2. Summary of your major learning accomplishments in this course with selected examples that substantiate your commentary.
2.SUMMARY
It's enjoyable for
me to know that it is possible to achieve each of the goals that I propose in
life; for a while I knew I wanted to teach, I was not sure that matter
specifically, but I knew I wanted to share my knowledge through teaching; later
I knew I wanted to teach English, at the precise moment that to trace me as a
goal, learn it.
From the moment I start the travel by the path of learning English as a foreign language, I knew I would learn many things, and effectively so has been; each of the courses I have developed has left me a lot of knowledge; with this particular course "TEACHER DEVELOPMENT" I learned many essential aspects to train as a teacher and develop professionally, that is to say, improve my skills and competencies needed to produce educational outcomes for so it achieve form outstanding students.
The development of this course has been very important because we have
implemented work and keeping the points on which we must work as a true teacher
of English. Among the main achievements of learning that I have acquired in
this course they are:
+ Proper management of the teaching role in an English class. Example:
The exercise of observing an English class is a real context has been one of
the best achievements I have gained in this course, since the face with the
reality that in the very near future I will do; It was interesting to see how
the development of an English teacher must be very consistent with the theme,
the student group, context and practices to work.
+ The domain group, security and certainty as an English teacher. Example: in
observing the class, I realized that it is vital to have the virtues of the
teacher, among the most important: the domain and security group with which the
class develops, it is very important as part of these issues it depends on the
satisfaction of a teacher of English.
+ The development and structure and lesson plans. Example: in the time
of development of lesson plans note the importance of teaching English should
always keep a schedule of classes, it is the guide, the model on which the
teacher is based to through class work according to the goals and objectives
that have been raised.
+ Application and development of the lesson plan. Example: In this work
the lesson plan, I have noticed how important it is to have certainty and
clarity of the steps or moments to be taken in a class, it is important to know
how far to go and maybe be clear to what extent the issue addressed, without
doing a little boring, and extensive theoretical classes.
+ The registration and control from the observation and implementation
of a class. Example, in the development of the activities of the course, how
important it is to focus on giving a moment to summarize the positive points
and the little good in the development of classes, are key to the new classes,
it shows this is is, to make feedback and try to improve every day.
3. Reflection on how your observation tasks have influenced your teaching learning.
The importance of good teacher-student relationship was also evident;
Here I observed that although the teacher is very strict in its class, also
provided a degree of confidence to the student, eliminating all barriers that
can create the student; participate when it does so without fear, without
limitation, they know that if you make a mistake, be corrected and will learn
from his mistake, which makes them more active in class.
No doubt the teaching materials we use in our classes are the tool that allows our class is not monotonous and the student will not be bored, much more, if he himself is responsible for its development, as it feels involved in the process to achieve their own objectives and those of the class.

My observation tasks have
significantly influenced my teaching and learning, because in the time that
this observation activity is proposed perhaps in the beginning it gets a little
tricky because it is the first time you have that direct contact with the teaching
context learning in the classroom and teacher played the task of English. But
after that it made such a remark English class, it can be concluded that
profits and learning are many, since they see the reality and the true role
that must be developed as an English teacher, is another step towards which it
is advanced. Personally I consider my paper training as a teacher of English
increasingly being formed more significantly and that the time to be in the
classroom context, most certainly I'll do a good job, thanks to the teachings
that I have acquired in this course learning.
This
observation task gave me many guidelines on how to conduct my classes and I
checked all this through the little experience that I teach; I have realized
that it is vital to plan well the class and have premeditated every moment of
it, to have control of the situation and thus be able to present effectively
all content making capture the attention and interest of students by providing
excellent process teaching and learning.
4. Some aspects that you have learnt about the observation process that you can account for in future lesson planning and that can make an impact on student learning.
Here are some things I have learned about the process of observation, to take into account in future planning of classes:
+ The organization of the classroom according to
the type of subject and activity that is being developed in each of the classes
is important because it is not always a traditional classroom, the classroom
should be very nice to students, what motivates their learning and development.
+ The analysis of the activities worked during
class, it is of great importance because the positive points are assessed, the
scope, and should analyze the aspects that need to improve and practice in the
next study classes.
+ It is of great interest to pay attention to each
of the attitudes observed during the classes to detect some key points on which
you can find flaws such as boredom, inactivity, lack of interest by students,
because the implementation of activities that are not very interesting for
students; It is to take into account when planning new classes, where various
activities must be in keeping with the age of the students and the subject,
trying to get the most out of activities of interest.
+ This is a very important point as the
interaction between teachers and students should be continued unchecked
barriers, must be a constant where the teacher should rather play the role of
facilitator, it is important this point since it must be viewed in the class
student interest in investigating and professor be ready to collaborate; if
this aspect is not reflected in class work it is needed to improve this aspect.
My activity in terms of my career has been very interactive and progressive, I have noticed a great advance, since it is what I like to do, I want to learn; and so that the development of this course have tried to be careful and work best not to miss any learning point in my training as a teacher of English.
This course I consider very important, because it is one of the bases which must appropriate a professor of English, if you really want to be a good teacher, because the role of teacher not is played by anyone, but the attitude, domain of learning and teaching styles that are transmitted are very few and is the key to a good teacher.
In my training as future teachers of English, the events that I would undertake, are mostly the domain of the English language very fluently and clearly, getting to be a very good English teacher; where the taste is highlighted by students to learn, to teach them to love the English language and to make each class a very significant experience and that interest wake up in English. Another aspect I want to take is that of my active training as a teacher of English, be in constant preparation in order to give my best in my class work and strengthen day by day what is in my reach my training.
Every day we encounter various changes and
transformations educational level, which makes us as teachers responsible for
social and human development by high expectations society projects in our work;
in view of this, to my teaching the English language it becomes a great
responsibility and challenge, considering the importance of the English
language today as it ceased to be a simple addition of training to become a
necessity both academically and professionally. Currently, English is the
language most commonly used as a first or second language and will become a
fundamental requirement for access to a large part of the job opportunities
that arise.
Therefore, it becomes a great responsibility for teachers of this language, since we contribute from the start of school good teaching for children today start from already learning this important language; which encourages me to form and develop excellently as a teacher, to exercise my work with patience, love, vocation, to do things right, so, I have considered each of the knowledge I have acquired in the course of this way of learning. In the short time I've been toiling, I have managed to implement various options presented me to be a good teacher and I have managed to realize that, although it is not an easy task, you can achieve excellent results if I'm doing what I like and this is what I try to achieve with my students; acquire that love for the English language, feel desire to study and learn and do it the way they like most, singing, listening to music, declaiming poetry, the idea is to contextualize the content, transport students to particular contexts without leaving the place where they are, getting captivate student attention making learning fun and entertaining, it helps to maintain and increase their motivation and thus their responsiveness.
I have also learned to be organized, since all process requires a plan and any plan an order, so I see the importance of carefully plan my classes taking into account the needs of students.
6. A plan of action for improvements in your teaching and future plans in order to broaden and deepen your knowledge of content in your discipline.
It is
important to always think about improving the activities we do, no matter if we
do well in our mind should always be the idea of doing better every day.
