My journey as a teacher: a report on my internship at an English medium school

Abstract

This report is based on the experience I have gained by doing an internship in Learner’s International School (pseudonym). During the internship I explored the challenges and opportunities of teaching and my capabilities of becoming a teacher in the future. In this report, I presented my reflection on my practice, different methods of teaching including Grammar-Translation Method, Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) and Task-based Teaching and tried to find the best method of teaching that facilitate maximum learning for my students. Along with that, I also reported my experiences of observing other teachers, developing an understanding of the qualities of good teachers, and building a good and effective teacher-student relationship in the class. This report also portrays some of the challenges and drawbacks that I experienced during my internship. At the time of my internship, I also tried to maintain my professionalism and moderate relationships with the teachers and my colleagues. Also, I mentioned all the learning that I have gained during the internship and how I can demonstrate those learnings in my future teaching journey. At the end of the report, I suggested some recommendations that will help make some changes for better and more effective learning in the classroom.
