Groups 7 and 8

Hello everyone! This is Incredibly the last entry to my blog  of English Didactics II, it has been an amazing journey in which we all learned a lot.


Follow me to find out what last class was all about. Unfortunately,I couldn't attend our last class because I had the   be one of the MU interpreters for a couple of days!

However, I was very entertained reading and seeing the pictures in my classmates' posts. I really liked Maru's entry so, I will recall some of her thoughts on the class.

The first group was Diana's. They reviewed some things from the previous class and played a game called Hangman.

They also presented some keywords like "a quater to____" to say the time, which is great because they hadn't learned those until then.

This group made some activities with there is and there are, and finally they had a controlled activity to practice with writing exercises.


After that, they made students come to the board to stick some images completeing a vocabulary activity. They had Group 1 vs Group 2. Students are always very into this type of activities! 馃憣

In break time, teacher Orlando had a very nice gesture with the class, he brought some cookies and coffee! And for the ones who couldn't attend that they he brought the cookies on Friday when we were in French class, it was really nice from him. 馃ス馃挮


We asked him for a picture on Friday and here it is! You teacher are awesome!! 


Then, it was Eli's group tourn to present their topic. Maru said in here blog that they were very creative and I don't have a doubt. They took different materials, realia and props to make their class attractive.

Eli had borrowed a very cute clock that said an hour aloud and students had to set the needles to show the time. 

Then, Carla taught them some useful vocabulary like "timeless", "time flies", "in a jiffy", etc.

After that, they had a reading activity, and finally, they did a wrap up activity in which they had to pick it an object from a basket and then say what they learned.


I just want to thank you very much teacher, for always being  passionate and committed, you make it look easy but I know  it is not, there is a lot more going on behind the hora clase so I appreciate every single advice you gave us, it was definitely more than just theory.

I also want to thank my classmates and tell them that I am proud too because we all gave our very best and learned in the process. 

Thanks for reading! See you around!

Grammar and Vocabulary Demo Classes

Hello dear teacher and classmates!! Welcome to another weekly entry. Time flies and I can´t believe we are already in a new register! This time, let me start with a fantastic record of our last class. We did some demo classes as a team. It was very funny to see all the course wearing black as if we had planned it!馃槄馃槀 Teacher Orlando divided us into four different groups, I'll introduce mine in a second. And we performed grammar and vocabulary topics as teachers. Let´s get into it and review what each one of us presented to the class! Group 1: Vocabulary - Medical Vocabulary Group number one decided to teach medical vocabulary. I really loved their activities and the topic was especially important since we will most likely be interpreting or translating medical-related things, so I found it very useful.  First of all, they started asking some questions, they showed us some medical stuff and we brainstormed as a class, trying to guess what the right term for the image was. Then, the...

Teaching writing

 Hi there! Welcome back to a new entry on a new topic. This time, we´ll be talking about: writing! 馃ぉ Our last two classes have been more theoretical, we have had some nice exercises too though.  In our first class, we rehearsed our muscles, drew some tracings, and practiced cursive and print handwriting. It felt weird, to be honest. 馃槄 I don't remember when I last wrote a complete sentence in cursive style I assume it’s been in years! I remember that coming back from virtuality, my hand even felt stiff! This is my handwriting in cursive and printing styles. 馃き I am not good with cursive and kind of mix both. 馃槄 Then, we went a little deeper into what we actually mean by writing skills. Writing involves aspects like handwriting, spelling, punctuation, sentence construction, paragraphing, text cohesion, and register or style. We discussed that maybe for us, as Spanish speakers, we don´t have to struggle that much with handwriting, or at least not as much as learners whose writi...

Demos

  Hello everyone! Welcome once again and to the very last entry of my blog! It’s been a long and amazing trip through different topics. To wrap it up, we’re going to describe Demos! We had presentations these  past two weeks and I have to admit that I had a blast! I enjoyed watching my classmates and friends doing their best and I certainly learned from them. Everyone was so creative and dedicated when it came to preparing their activities. I loved all of them and I’m pretty sure there are quite good future teachers in our classroom!  1. This was the first group. They presented activities to rehearse  listening. To begin with, they passed a listening test. We had to pay  close attention to answer correctly, but to be honest, it was quite easy, because it was meant for basic or intermediate students. That is the cool thing about activities to train the four macro skills, you can adjust them according to your class needs, interests and of course, levels. Then, the...
