Your hours of class time spent learning how to teach English to speakers of other languages have all led to this: this class isn't about learning-- this course is about doing. You and your cohort are going to spend at least ten hours in the classroom practicing what you've studied with actual students, who are expecting to improve their English language skills as a result of their time with you.
