My experience
with writing my philosophy of teaching was similar to when I wrote my first
essay for ED 110. However I am in my upper level courses so I have formed a more
cohesive perspective on what I believe in, currently as a future teacher. I
still look to my previous high school teachers and some professors in the
university that made my educational endeavor memorable. I hope that I am able
to embody the expectations the School of Education has set in front of all the
teaching candidates. Also I am glad we are able to interact through the blog
and Moodle because it allows everyone to think beyond the classroom time limit.
What I
found most intriguing in Chapter 2 was the incidental
focus on form and planned focus on form. I can relate to these two methods
professionally and personally. I have seen out on observation most teachers use
the incidental focus on form because
it supposedly yields quicker results. However personally I have benefited planned focus on form because rigorous grammatical
exercises trained me to be better at the target language.
Hannah, I reread my essay from ED110 and ED271 too. I still have same passions and feelings towards "teaching." The difference is that now I know more technical terms and methods. In addition, I also learned how to deal with different tyoes if students through learning in classes and observing outside.
