Lesson plans

Hello everyone!
It’s nice having you back! 
We learned how to craft our lesson plans, teacher Orlando shared some very useful tips that I will share with you in a moment.

First of all we all agreed that PPT is used for grammar and vocabulary classes, whereas PDP is used for listening and reading classes.

 PPT envolver 
Warm up: 
We reviewed some aspects like the important things to keep in mind while warming up. It shout be short, we can start with question time.

In the PRODUCTION:
We use the language, students produce and follow structures. Up to this point we should be CCQing our students. Besides, As teachers, should make sure we use the pair-share-technique in which students first work on their own, then they should work in pairs and last but no least, the class share answers as a whole. The production can or should be in an oral way or written way. 

Teacher Orlando also said that we shouldn’t forget to add controlled and free practices. And controlled should go before free. We can add two controlled ones  and one fee practice, or 1 and 1, 2, and 2, as we consider it more appropriate, but we should always be careful with the time and in including  some imperative parts of a lesson.


Thanks for reading, here you have some pics. :)

Community Language Learning Method

Hi there! Welcome back to my blog!  In this entry, we are going to review the Community Language  Learning Method.

This method is based on the idea that students learn with and from other peers, that´s why they need each other in the process. This method doesn´t require lesson planning which allows the session to flow and gives the students and teacher the chance to integrate interesting topics, however, there's the risk of not handling time well. Since talking is essential, it is better to use this method with advanced-level learners. Something that caught my attention and I think works pretty well is the use of authentic material, such as podcasts, movies, maybe some speeches, or music because I think that is the best approach to real-life speaking and that is what sometimes students lack. When we are too accustomed to workbooks and only workbooks we don't have a close idea of real English...

Presentation Practice and Production

 Hello everyone!  Welcome back to the last entry of this register! Today we are going to discuss  what we studied in our last class: Presentation Practice and Production. This are the stages of a class. In the first stage which is presentation, the teacher takes the most time to explain. In this stage, students understand concepts. This stage is mostly for  teachers, they have to be resourceful and do what they have to do to explain and make students understand. They can use replicas, realia, images, among others to teach vocabulary, they sometimes go straight to the point (deductively) or by letting students discover in contexts or practicing conversations  (inductively) in the case of grammatical topics. Then, we have our second stage, which is “Practice”. Students rehearse in this stage. The interaction goes in both ways students-teacher teacher-students but students are the ones practicing, while teachers can be walking around providing just the necessary he...
