ENGLISH DIDACTICS I

  Hello everyone! Thank you for being back reading my weekly entry! Today’s topic was simple present  and routines.  The first group was Jonathan’s and Josh’s. They started their class with a choosing activity, students had to  choose the image in the left or in the right. Jonathan would say an action and Ss would pick  what image represented what they heard.  After that, teachers refreshed the previous topic about daily routine. They quickly presented the vocabulary.  Then Abi, gave SS a spreadsheet and played a video in which speakers would narrate their daily routines.  Right after that, Abi checked the answers along with students, they would answer “true” or “false” for every statement. This is Jonathan in his “teacher mode” clearing up some doubts promptly. Then they moved to practice time lead by Rodrigo.  Students had a conversation and answered the question “what do you usually do on your birthday/on Christmas?” For which they had to use the vocabulary they already knew, like “

  Hello everyone! Welcome back to a new register of blogs. I feel ready  yo tell you all about our students and their progress in the classroom, the different groups and the activities that we carry out weekly as teachers.✨📚 The first group was Noé’s. They presented vocabulary and did some cool games and activities to develop the topic. They started with charades. The teachers explained to students what the game consisted of and then one by one would go to the front and represent a word through mimics. I think this was a nice way to start the class. Then, teachers presented vocabulary related to the routine, I get up, I brush my teeth, I go to work and had students repeat. Following up, they moved on to the next topic, frequency adverbs and explained to class the  percentages of use. Then they had their practice, for which they gave students a piece of paper to pick the right frequency adverbs, while they did that they played Adele in the background using suggestopedia, which was very

 Hi Teacher and classmates, welcome to the very start of our journey as teacher!  Today it was groups 1 and 2 chance to perform as teachers, they did quite well, and we all were excited to have our students for the very first time! Diana’s group was the first one and I liked from the fact that they took into consideration giving everyone a name tag. They taught greetings and the alfabeto. The way this group carried out an activity for everyone to wet to know each other was on point. It was very necessary since students might be nervous because they don’t know anyone, so I think these kind of activities are simple yet effective as icebreakers. The second group was Eli’s. They had an unscramble activity in which students had to make sentences like “I am sad”, “ she is angry” etc.  Finally, students created  a role play using everything they had learned. Here are some pics of the class! :)
