Reflection diary content on the TEFLworld wiki

A teacher’s reflection diary basically reflects. We reflect on our teaching day. As a TEFL course student you will probably have a great deal to reflect upon during the course.

Some schools require that every teacher submits a reflective Journal or diary once a term or even monthly. Some schools do not require it at all. In order to prepare you for this possibility; on our TEFL courses a reflective diary is a requirement.

You should edit, update, add to your diary every day beginning with the first day of the course. Try not to leave your updates until the last moment as you will find it is far more difficult and time-‐consuming to accurately reflect on events since your last edit. Taking half an hour every day to update your posts will be far easier.

You are free to reflect on just about anything you encounter on the course. That is, your reflections of thoughts do not solely have to be teaching related. Some people on our courses tell us how they feel before, during and after the course.

Feel free to jot down any feelings that you may have. You will probably find that your outlook on teaching or your feelings about teaching will have changed quite considerably between the beginning of the course and the end of the course.

Your reflective diaries are posted on our website wiki.

Then Jack saw, to his great amazement, a splendid castle nearby. He walked to the castle and knocked at the huge, wooden door. The door was opened by a tall, frail, old woman. Jack told her that he was hungry after his long climb and asked her for food. The woman gave him stale bread and crumbly cheese and told him to leave quickly. Her husband was a cruel giant who would kill him when he came back from hunting.

T is Boss!

Ss explain grammatical rules

Similarities are drawn between L1 +L2
