Self awareness of ESL teachers. How well do you know yourself?

Oxbridge Friday Meeting Barcelona

Today at our Friday meeting here in Barcelona, our group activity was on SELF AWARENESS, and didn´t we have fun with it!

We started by writing down 5 words on a piece of paper that we think describes us the most, the way we act, feel and treat others. Then the person next to us had to choose just one of the words which they think MOST describes us and why! Oooh, the pressure!!

Finally, we had to choose which of the words we are most proud of and which one we would like to change and explained our reasons to the group.

Self-awareness survey form

Oxbridge Teachers common traits

We thought it would be a good idea to think about the qualities we all shared in common as Oxbridge Teachers,

things that connect us as a group of people. So we chose 1 word from each of our lists and this is what we found out!

Oxbridge Teachers common traits, we are -

Approachable
Friendly/Empathetic
Open minded

What a great list of qualities we all share! And here we all are in our meeting...
