Classes by groups 1 & 2

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! :)

Community Language Learning Method

Hi there! Welcome back to my blog! In this entry, we are going to review the Community Language Learning Method. If I were to define this method in three words, I´d say: together, speaking, and flow. 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...
