One thing that I learned is teamwork is very important in order to carry out a lesson plan. If a group of
teachers doesn’t have teamwork, then we can't expect students to work together. Another thing I learned is
fun activities and lessons that relate to the students are very important. Throughout this week, I noticed that
students really like interactive games/sports and fascinating hands-on activities(Kahoot and Makey Makey).
These types of activities really help them to be engaged and interested and make our lessons go smoother
because they are engaged.

Throughout the camp, I learned that being a teacher is quite hard. It’s especially hard to teach the
knowledge you know to them as well as controlling them because they can get out of hand sometimes.
Another thing I learned is the concept of teamwork. I think teamwork is really important when it comes to
working together and making that thing actually successful. Lastly, I learned how to find ways to make the
students more engaged in our classes because it’s definitely not easy.

The first improvement I made was my confidence in my speaking and teaching skills. In the first 2 days,
I felt I did not teach or speak as much as I wanted to. However, when it came to my lesson on Wednesday,
I had to be confident and do as best as possible. This helped me by motivating me to speak more Chinese
even if I am wrong. It also helped to have my other fellow TAs assist me in explaining when I was struggling
with certain parts. Also, my time management skills for my lesson improved. On the first day, I was really
disappointed that the kids couldn’t have much fun. They just did a lot of writing which took up a lot of time.
The next day I used my phone to keep an eye on the clock every 10-20 minutes to make sure we got through
most things.

At first, I was very quiet and I didn't actively seek out the students to establish the basic sense of trust
and respect between student and teacher and thus didn't actively offer help when the students needed it. Not
to mention, the advice and help I gave were confusing to understand for the students so they had to seek out
another teacher to ask the same question. In the next few days, I actively approached the students and offered
my help while making sure that my help was understandable. I also worked to entertain students during
recess to continue to break the ice between student and teachers by making small talk and playing some
games when allowed. As expected, the students slowly warmed up to me and, in the last few days, started
asking me questions concerning the lesson content instead of just keeping it to themselves.

As a teacher assistant, I think it became easier for me to interact with students. I was less nervous and
uptight, making me more relaxed with them. Specific improvements in teaching would be asking them more
questions and trying different ways of explaining something. In order to try to get them to practice using
English, I would also ask them to write some words in English on worksheets, even if it's just one or two
phrases. Overall I tried paying more attention to where students struggled by listening carefully to the student
teacher and thinking about where I would not be able to catch up. This allowed me to better understand what
students were thinking.
