My biography

          My name is Jessica Beatriz Rodríguez López. I am 22 years old, and I was born in Santa Ana, El Salvador. I consider myself as a friendly, responsible and optimistic girl. Some of my hobbies are reading books, dancing, going out with my friends, spending time with my family, listening to music, among others. Besides, I am a girl who likes to learn new things each day, who likes to laugh every single day, and who does not like to complicate life for anything. Also, I am a lover of languages, and that is the main reason I am studying the major of Licenciatura en Idioma Inglés, Opción: Enseñanza. I really love what I am studying, and some of my goals are to get my undergraduate degree, to become a good and unique teacher, and to travel around the world. So I hope to achieve every goal I have set in my life. To sum it up, I can say that my teaching philosophy is "To teach, is to touch a life forever".

My Teaching Experience

          My teaching experience in Junior High School was really helpful, interesting, and pleasant, but at the same time, I could realize how difficult and compromising is to be a good teacher. During my teaching experience I could learn many things about the teenagers' behavior and the way in which we have to solve some of the most common troubles with them. Also, in my teaching experience, I could realize about my strengths and weaknesses in teaching. I think that some of my strengths in teaching are the creativity and variety of the classes. I think that my teaching is more successful if I work with different activities; working in small groups, analyses, solving tasks, and motivating teenagers participation helped me to get better results.

          In my opinion, the characteristics of good teaching are the motivation, interest and effort that the teacher has in doing his/her material. All this is reflected in the way and kind of activities that the teacher prepares for his/her students.

          My experience when working with teenagers was pretty good, but I know I have to work more and harder in order to become an excellent teacher in a near future. 

My Teaching Experience in Junior High School

Some material I used to work with my students

These are some of the worksheets I gave to my students in order to see if they had understood the topics I had explained in the different classes. Some of the topics we studied were "Going to", "Subject and Object Pronouns", "Superlatives", among others. At the end of all, I could see my students understood the majority of topics.
