So I had my first teaching class today. I was completely responsible, on my own in front of 7 adult English learners, having a class I had to plan myself. I was really nervous going into it, I couldn't stop thinking about what I'd be doing prior to the class. I panicked a bit because I had no idea what level they were, but I managed to pass the time well.
The students were great, really nice despite my age. They were also really willing to speak a great deal too. But planning a lesson is the most stressful thing I've had to do - these people are TEACHERS and I do not want to be judged.
My supervisor has been very... present. That is to say she is acting like she's my mum. It's nice of her to show concern for my social life but she can be really forceful, and judgmental about how I spend my free time. But I've not settled in enough to make friends with random students yet.
Trains are expensive so I'm getting a railcard; it's much cheaper in France, and it's a 50 percent discount!
