Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0, University of Trier, language: English, abstract: My expectations at the beginning of the semester for Introduction to Teaching English consisted of learning different teaching methods (for multiple areas such as speaking, writing, listening, vocabulary, grammar etc), or how to include every student considering individual conditions and qualifications. Moreover, I expected to learn how to increase participation and confidence using another language in combination to decreasing insecurity among students. Besides the fulfilment of these expectations, I took a closer look planning lessons in English and the standards of education teaching English as a second language as well. We not only learned how to teach the English language properly but also what a good teacher should bring into class considering different personality aspects and character traits of teachers and their different effects on students. Moreover, we were often asked about our opinions and to critically evaluate methods.
