INTRODUCTION
AN E-PORTFOLIO IS A COLLECTION OF WORK
DEVELOPED ACROSS VARIED CONTEXTS OVER
TIME. (clemson.edu, 2014). IT IS A VERY USEFUL
TOOL THAT EVERY SINGLE TEACHER SHOULD DO
IN ORDER TO IMPROVE THEIR TEACHING AND
REALIZE HOW THEY ARE DOING THEIR
TEACHING PRACTICE.
WHY DO I TEACH?


I teach because I know that by sharing the few
knowledge that I have learnt I can help to
improve someone elses life.
APPROACH
I have worked with the communicative
approach, because English is not a subject, it is
a language that is being taught as a subject. By
the use of the communicative approach, I
have been teaching English as a language,
trying to make students to communicate
among them and the teacher.
METHODOLOGY
The mix of some methods such ADLM and
DM, are very helpful for me because I can use
realia and full English with my students, those
are the methods that I trust the most. But I
reinforce them with TPR, CLL and GTM, in
order to make it more interactive and practical
for the students.
EFFORTS TO IMPROVE TEACHING
Motivational videos
Quotes for teacher
Reading information about topics I do not
manage completely
Use of technology

PROBLEMS PRESENTED
Some students presented some learning
problem, some of them did not know how to
apply the rules of the third person singular
(for example), it is kind of hard for them to
describe something by using third person
singular, but by practicing, they are improving
and showing their desire for learning.
PRODUCTS OF TEACHING
Students have been
doing their best in
order to keep in the
course, and they have
been doing different
types of activities in
which they have learnt
a lot by focusing on
Learning by playing
and Learning by
doing.
GOALS
Short Term Goals:
To have a degree in English.
To be working in a good institution
(highschool or university).
To become into a prepared teacher.
Long Term Goals:
To be studying a Master degree.
To work in a university.
LEARNING REFLEXION
Only a teacher? Thank God I have a calling to
the greatest profession of all! I must be
vigilant every day lest I lose one fragile
opportunity to improve tomorrow. Ivan
Welton Fitzwater (adprima.com, 2014)
Being a teacher is one of the best experiences
Ive ever had, it has been important, because
it has changed my thoughts and my life, I
cannot longer be a simple careless student, I
have to accept the challenge and do my best
day by day in order to improve myself and be
able to help to shape students.
