Chapter 2: A "Methodical" History of Language Teaching
Well, This chapter is referred to some topics like "Method and Methodical". I have checked in this chapter some different methods that were used in the past to teach new languages to students, I know that some of this methods are still in use. I also studied that there were some important persons that gave us some explanations about: methods and techniques. Well, some of the methods that I could see in this chapter are: The Grammar Translation Method this method in the past was known as Classical Method. I also studied a method called: Gouin and Series Method, it is called like that because of a man named "Francois Gouin", but the history doesn´t consider him to be the founder, I read some others like: Direct Method, Audiolingual Method. Well those are the methods that I consider that are more important.

Essay about kindergarten
Everybody needs opportunities in their life to show others that they are able to do special things, in this subject I have had one of those opportunities, well some weeks ago I started my teaching practice, something that I will never forget about.
The first time I entered to the kinder classroom I saw many children almost everybody was seated on their little desks, well they were seated in groups, everybody was doing something. When the teacher introduced me to them she told them: he´s the "Teacher Byron" he will be with you for some weeks. I could noticed that there were some learning spots in some parts of the classroom, I also noticed that almost everybody were paying attention and doing some tasks. Well the time to teach to those children started, I developed each class presenting them material to work on; like pictures for drawing and coloring. The rapport I use with my pupil I think that is correct because I can notice that they feel well during the class, sometimes they embrace me, well I feel good too, and simply I will never forget this amazing experience...

Week'$ experience # 2
Hello everybody I just want to say something about my week's experience at the university. Well it was a very short week for me because I just went two days to the university and I just had one didactics class. I think that this last week was kind of dangereous because as you know gangsters were asking for their rights, so there were not public transportation and people didn't want to going out because they were scared. But I enjoy stayin in my house because I had time to do some things. Well that's all for now I hope everybody is okay. See you aroud. Bye...

NESTs VS NNESTs
Well, I think that not only Native English Speaking Teachers can teach ESL, because I know that there are many good Non-Native English Speaking Teachers around the world that are well prepared for teaching ESL. I think that if someone knows a lot about grammar structures and has a good pronunciation, accuracy, fluency and many other skills they can perfectly teach ESL.
I think that the advantages that a Native English Speaking Teacher has is that he or she can make use of his English language experience. I think that a NEST has all the English vocabulary.
I think that Non-Native English Speaking Teachers can use their mother tongue when they are teaching English as a Second Language. Well, I think it´s better to manage more than a language, because it helps to a better teaching.
