En la clase de inglés del 18 de marzo del 2022 tuvimos una exposición con temática del
presente continuo en inglés, fue bastante interesante especialmente por la cantidad de
participantes y las diversas interacciones que tuvimos que hacer para que funcionara. Desde mi
punto de vista logramos los objetivos planteados con la exposición, los cuales eran: Presentar una
clase para todos los estudiantes sobre el presente continuo, demostrar el conocimiento sobre el
tema a nuestra profesora y finalmente que a cada uno le haya quedado algo de la exposición de
dicho día. Algo que no esperaba es que la exposición durase todo el tiempo de la clase dando a
lugar a la situación en que el grupo que debía exponer sobre el pasado continuo no podía exponer
ese mismo día y tuvieron que hacerlo el día siguiente, pienso que tal vez la causa de esto fueron
las diversas dinámicas entre los expositores, los que hacían los diálogos y la profesora quien nos
ayudaba en gran medida cuando nos equivocábamos, pero en últimas instancias creo que fue una
buena exposición de la cual todos disfrutamos.
 In the English class on March 18, 2022 the students had to give a class with the topic of “The
present continuous in English”, it was quite interesting especially for the number of participants
(20!) and the various interactions we had to make it work. From my point of view, we achieved the
objectives set with the activity, which were: Prepare and present a class for all students about the
present continuous tense, demonstrate knowledge on the subject to our teacher and finally that
each one of us learned the subject. Something I did not expect is that the activity would last all the
time of the of the class giving rise to the situation in which the group that was to do a class about
the English past continuous tense could not expose that same day and they had to do it the next
day; I think maybe the cause of this was the various dynamics between the speakers, the ones
who did the dialogues and the teacher wo helped us a lot when we were wrong, but ultimately I
think it was a good activity that we all enjoyed.
