My Professional Development as an English Language Teacher at Hazi Kiam Uddin High School

Abstract

This report is based on the experience that I gathered during my internship at the HKHS (pseudonym) and focuses on a self-evaluation of my teaching. I had high expectations for bringing out the best in the students and always tried to motivate the students. There was a mix of different kinds of students. I tried to establish a good teacher-student relationship and understand each student treating them individually and making a proper assessment. I always tried to maintain professionalism and a good relationship with colleagues. In this paper, I also mentioned reflective practice, the qualities of a good and effective teacher, Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), task-based teaching, selecting the best method for teaching, and some challenges of teaching in the Bangladeshi context. I always tried to make progress by using different methods depending on the context. This paper also includes various problems and obstacles that I had during my internship and how did I overcome those to ensure a good and safe learning environment. Here, I described what I learned from this journey and how I can use this experience in my future teaching. I also gave recommendations that should be implemented to make the learning process better and more effective.
