Groups 1 and 2 - 3rd register

 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.✨馃摎



The first group was No茅’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 good and made the activity more interesting, then the teachers gave the right answers.


The second practice they did was to spread some slips of paper which contained phrases like go to the beach, do exercise, wash the dishes and students had to group into the different columns as how often they did the given activities. 



Lastly, students produced, they talked about  their routine and the group prized them with a candy when they did.


Finally, for the wrap up they had a big roulette ad randomly picked the persons to say specific things they learned.



Group 2




Maru’s group started their grammar topic with an exciting memory chain game, a student started with a sentence  of the routine and then the second student would say the first sentence and his or her own, making a long list of sentences as students were added to the chain. 

After that, they had a trivia students really loved, they would present a sentences but this sentence had a gap they had to fill out with one right option.



Students could pick different bonus and this made it far more interesting. Students loved it and I think it is alway good to have this kind of games because they are so interactive.

Last but not least, they also played tic-tac-toe.

That was it for today, thank you for reading this far!

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...
