This is my School
This school was created by some Officers and Enlisted in 1970. They wanted to have a school on
base. For that reason, the members of the Apiay Air Force Base proposed through the social welfare board
to the Ministry of Education to solve a personnel necessity. They wanted to have a full-day school during
work hours for their children. This situation would allow the Officers and Enlisted not to commute, having a
lot of security and no worries about having their children studying in another place. GIMFA School was
named from the beginning with the name of the Air Base “Luis F. Gómez Niño”, who was an illustrative
Actually, this school has 12 classrooms where kids from kinder garden through 11th grade. It has

My teacher advisor holds a Bachelors´ Degree in English, and she is from Colombia but she
is eager to learn languages and she loves teaching to others. She likes having fun during classes, so
her classes are very interesting. She tries to have confidence each other, so the barrier between
teacher and student trend to fade (Snell, sf). As a matter of fact, she avoids having a passive class, as
Snell J. said that a passive class is a problem when teaching a foreign language. She has a
characteristic of being another student in class, so it gives the students a friendly environment inside
the classroom. The interaction is done as a student centered class, which gives the opportunity to
participate actively during in her class. According to her method of teaching by principles (Brown,
2001), she doesn’t hesitate to follow a meaningful learning in which it creates retention by using
previous structures. This method demonstrates that their backgrounds must be on the table, it means

3.3.Rapport:
Teaching is a complex procedure during a class time, but this activity is easy when using a
perfect rapport (Harper, 2007); while performing the classes, the teacher has not only an impressive
management but also stablishes a relationship where the students feel comfortable to participate and
they absorbs as much as they can. All of this allows the students trigger their spark to learn. On the
other hand, the teacher shows a lot of respect to the students and they act the same way back. That
situation shows the adaptability of the teacher to different personalities of the students.

3.4.Method of teaching: What kind of teaching methods the teacher is using in his
classes?
She tries to include all skills, and also applies as Harper mentioned in his book “How to Teach
English” using the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Having the absolute management of the class,
the professor pushes the students to achieve their objectives in class. Those objectives are written at
the beginning of the class, and they have to be reachable for the students. When the students see
how they absorb the language, they act positively and their input rises.
3.5.Personality:
My advisor teacher is an easy going person, and she has an activity ready to be used, so her
classes involve the students, making them participate actively. She uses a specific language
according to the academic discourse and style, having as a reference (Jordan, 2014), implementing
vocabulary related to the topic. She uses the visual method; as a result, the students quickly recall
the meaning of the objects that they manipulate in class. As a technique, she uses examples of real
life, and those resources have a direct meaning easy to digest by the students. When she arrives to
4. My students Profile
In this class, we find 20 students. They are in 10th grade. Their average range of age is about 14 years
old. There are a few students that hold a B1 and the others hold an A1-A2 level. They like to study English,
but there is girl who doesn’t understand anything. It seems that they enjoy the classes, and they love videos.
Another good thing is that they love to make expositions in English, so the teacher takes that for granted and
