Introduction
This portfolio was written as a result of all the experience I gathered by the time I was engaged in the Eduardo Mondlane University, doing the English Language Teaching Course.
The Portfolio is divided by two parts, the portfolio part and the teaching report. The first part conveys the introduction, containing my academic backgrounds as well as work experience. Then the teaching philosophy where I specified how I got my first impression with the English language, as well as the role of Education in Mozambique, and of the English language particular. I also infer about the goals to achieve in this area of education. The Portfolio part brings as well the evaluation I made from the University I held the course, contrasting the reality inside the university with the expectation I had from it, before the entrance.^[a] Then the second part – The Teaching Report which contains the description of the school I where I have done my teaching practice (^[b]location, type of school, numbers of students and teachers, description of classroom, general atmosphere, etc.) Including my teaching experience. In this part I focus on the observation of the host teacher, the approaches and teaching experience I have gathered during the teaching practices, the student motivation and the reasons for lack of it, my strengths and weakness^[c]es as a teacher as well as the strategies for improving m^[d]y teaching and by the end the summary which includes comments on teaching methods I have learned and the ones I rather prefer.^[e]

Teaching Philosophy

How I became influenced in teaching

My interest in English language begun^[g] when I was at Primary school. As my elder sister was attending secondary school by that time, she was the one who first pronounce some phones of English language at home. She used to bring from school letters of music mainly soul music, so as the music plays she used sing ^[h]following the music with the letter. It got me very hook in English as I liked music, and observing her singing was amazing. From there I started to look for letters of my favorites singers and sing their music's^[i]. Other thing that motivated myself also, is the fact that those letters contained the meaning of each word. This encouraged me so very ^[j]to improve my vocabulary.
