5. I am Fomicheva Marina. I am from Kazakhstan. I live in the southern part of my country. I was born in Shymkent, Kazakhstan and go on being there. I went to a state school in 1985 that gave me a lot. I had a chance to meet my first teachers that brought me up as diligent on studies, helped to develop the wish to set and achieve my goals. Moreover, I am really grateful to my first English teacher that inspired me to learn English and make it the part of my career. Some years later, about 10-11 years, we met again in the university. Could you imagine our feelings and joy? And again being myuniversity teacher she contributes a lot. In 1995 I entered the university in my city, the English department. The university gave me a chance to learn the language and realize what I am going to be. Being the 4-year student I started practicing at school and then working. Now I remember my first students and have meeting with them. Frankly, now we are on good friendly terms without being a teacher and students. Since that time I am a teacher. I have worked out some courses - country study (Geography and History of the USA), business English, basis of scientific translation that are so helpful for my students to function outside the school environment. It is a great pleasure to hear the words of thank and realize that it’s your job that gives profits to our society!!!! In 2004 I got my first degree at school. But keeping working I have achieved the fruitful results. Every 2 years I improve my degree. Finally, this year I have got the highest one. 2006 took part in the seminar and consulted the project “Country study. The textbook” 2007 a semi finalist of TEA – Teaching Excellence and Achievement Program 2008 June 2007 the city award for the State Exams preparation and great results. 2009 my student has won ACCELS “Freedom Support Act Program” and a year of living and studying in the USA.

8. What do people think of us?  ‘ I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework.’ ~Lily Tomlin as "Edith Ann“  ‘Teaching is the profession that teaches all the other professions.’ ~Author Unknown  ‘The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.’ ~William Arthur Ward  ‘Teachers who inspire realize there will always be rocks in the road ahead of us. They will be stumbling blocks or stepping stones; it all depends on how we use them.’ ~Author Unknown 2 May 2015 Marina Fomicheva, Kazakhstan8

9. Our students … are so great 2 May 2015 Marina Fomicheva, Kazakhstan 9

10. Students about us  “Come forth into the light of things; don’t forget it can be turned off.”  “Personally I’m always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught.”  “Some people talk in their sleep. Lecturers talk while other people sleep.”  “ Yes, time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils.”  “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”  “Smartness runs in my family. When I went to school I was so smart my teacher was in my class for five years.” 2 May 2015 Marina Fomicheva, Kazakhstan10

11. How do you reflect on your teaching? How does that reflection inform you? Teaching is so difficult to be reflected by me. I can also self assess me as a teacher that is worthy to work. I consider myself as a hardworking, straightforward, that is goal-oriented. I try to be so. I exactly know if I am going to do something it must be done properly and till the end, otherwise it won’t satisfy my demands, and, moreover, it will inspire me to go ahead to progress. I have leadership qualities that help me mostly. As a teacher, as a professional I know I am yielding my fruits now. My student show their progress and advance in different spheres revealing their knowledge. It a great pleasure to hear or to be at the moments when they are thankful to you just saying the words of thanks. At these moments you realize your importance. My own evaluation really affects me. Understanding my necessity I set my goals for future. I try to do my best to achieve them. If I don’t give feedback to myself who gives? How should I understand what to do? 2 May 2015 Marina Fomicheva, Kazakhstan11

12. How do objectives influence your lesson planning? To predict and foresee the learning outcomes of the lesson It is crucial for students to know the objectives to be aware of what they are going to do at the lesson In our countries, Bangladesh, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, it is important to set and announce the objective of the lesson to the students at the beginning. But in India it is not required. in the US schools we notice that the teachers put the objectives on the board and the students can see them an follow throughout the lesson in our countries the teacher summarizes the lesson to see if the objectives are achieved. But we in the US schools the teachers don’t. in our countries the objectives correspond to the national curriculum. The US teachers use more practical things than theory. 2 May 2015 Marina Fomicheva, Kazakhstan12
