Start to expositions in groups 👀✋👏😄

 👀✋👏😄Start to expositions in groups 👀✋👏😄

Hello everyone, for this blog I will not write much, as it is simply only about the beginning of expositions that we are having and that I hope will attract your attention.

Each group has a method of exposition and a dynamic in which the rest of the classroom participates.

For me it has been interesting to see these presentations and the different techniques that each group has had to present.

Here are some videos and pictures of the expositions and thanks for reading my blog, see you next week.

(DE) SUGGESTOPEDIA AND TOTAL PHYSICAL RESPONSE (TPR) 🙋🙋🙋🙋

 🙋🙋(DE) SUGGESTOPEDIA AND TOTAL PHYSICAL RESPONSE (TPR) 🙋🙋

Hello everyone, here with a new blog of the week...To start this week on Tuesday we finish with the complementary methods.

And on Thursday we started with our expositions about the methods with dynamics that the classmates shared with us as the class was going on.

In the meantime I will tell you a little bit about what is (De) Suggestopedia and Total Physical Response (TPR).

It is a method of teaching a foreing languague in which students learn quicky by 

feeling realex, interested, and positive.

(De) Suggestopedia

Origin of suggestopedia 

* 1970s

* Yoga 
* Physychology

  Exercise in class with classical music

We did this activity while listening to classical and baroque music, it was too interesting for me.

Suggestopedia, a portmanteau of "suggestion" and "pedagogy" is a teaching method used to learn foreign languages developed by the Bulgarian psychiatrist Georgi Lozanov.

Suggestopedia asserts that the physical surroundings and atmosphere of classroom are vital factors in making sure that "students feel comfortable and confident". Suggestopedia asserts that teachers should not act in a directive way. For example, teachers should act as partners to their students, participating in activities such as games and songs "naturally" and "genuinely".

Total Physical Response

It is simply a method through physical activity. 

Based on the teaching of its creator, James Asher, the more often the memory connection is made, the stronger the memory association will be and the more likely it will be remembered.

Total physical response is a language teaching method developed by James Asher, a professor emeritus of psychology at San José State University. It is based on the coordination of language and physical movement. In TPR, instructors give commands to students in the target language with body movements, and students respond with whole-body actions. Total Physical Response is often used alongside other methods and techniques. It is popular with beginners and with young learners, although it can be used with students of all levels and all age groups.

Asher developed TPR as a result of his experiences observing young children learning their first language. He noticed that interactions between parents and children often took the form of speech from the parent followed by a physical response from the child. Asher made three hypotheses based on his observations: first, that language is learned primarily by listening; second, that language learning must engage the right hemisphere of the brain; and third, that learning language should not involve any stress. The method is an example of the comprehension approach to language teaching. Listening and responding (with actions) serves two purposes: It is a means of quickly recognizing meaning in the language being learned, and a means of passively learning the structure of the language itself. Grammar is not taught explicitly but can be learned from the language input. TPR is a valuable way to learn vocabulary, especially idiomatic terms, e.g., phrasal verbs.

The Silent Way🙊🙊

🙊🙊 The Silent Way🙊🙊

Hello me here again with a new blog for the week...✌💙

We learned about "The Silent Way👄🙊" method, where we learned about Cuisenaire Rods, and how to make sentences or stories using this Cuisenaire Rods method.

Our first task after exploring the rods was to create a stories. It was interesting to watch classmates create their stories and see which classmate's group had to individually count/point the squares on each rod and which classmates could mental ‘hold’ the number as they counted.

The Silent Way, was founded in the early 1970s by the Egyptian mathematician and educator Caleb Gattegno. It is based on the idea that language learning can be enhanced in three main ways: discovery rather than teaching; problem-solving in the target language; the use of physical tools.

The Silent Way is a language-teaching approach created by Caleb Gattegno that makes extensive use of silence as a teaching method. Gattegno introduced the method in 1963, in his book Teaching Foreign Languages in Schools: The Silent Way. The method emphasizes learner autonomy and active student participation. Silence is used as a tool to achieve this goal; the teacher uses a mixture of silence and gestures to focus students' attention, to elicit responses from them, and to encourage them to correct their own errors. Pronunciation is seen as fundamental to the method, with a great deal of time spent on it each lesson. The Silent Way uses a structural syllabus and concentrates on teaching a small number of functional and versatile words. Translation and rote repetition are avoided, and the language is usually practiced in meaningful contexts. Evaluation is carried out by observation, and the teacher may never set a formal test.

And also this day the teacher Orlando, made us practice this method, it was really an easy method to apply and understand.

This was our story with a slightly abstract shape of a heart...

The story was: The father plays with your daughter hide seek and with your neighborhood in the streets.

And finally a girl dressed as a Cosplay arrived in class.👀❤😌😅

   

And thank you for watching my blog, and before ending an informative video on "The Silent Way Method". 👀👀👀👇👇👇👇👇

The Audio-Lingual Method👂👄

👂👄The Audio-Lingual Method👂👄 

Hello everyone, here again with a new blog for the week, this week we finish with the topics "The Direct Method" and "The Grammar-Translation Method". But that's not all, we continue breaking down these fundamental methods, and we start with "The Audio-Lingual Method".

(A.K.A. The Army Method)

The Audio-Lingual method of teaching had its origins during World War II when it became know as the Army Method, emphasizes the teaching of listening and speaking before reading and writing .

This method is currently in use, lessons on an individual basis rather than as the basis of the course. 

Some techniques that can be applied with The Audio-Lingual Method are:

• REPETITION DRILL. Students should repeat what the teacher is explaining quickly and effectively.

• SUBSITITUTION DRILL. Students should repeat the dialogue that the teacher has assigned, substituting the sign on the line in its proper place.

• QUESTION-AND-ANSWER DRILL. Students will be subjected to a question and answer either by the teacher asking them questions, or by asking them to ask questions of their classmates. 

• TRANSFORMATION DRILL. Students will be able to change sentences either from affirmative to negative or vice versa. 

Examples:

Another example with a better explanation is that in class we did a dynamic using a Repetion exercise.

Here is a little of what we did in the class.

LOOK AND ENJOY IT!!!👀👀❤❤

The Direct Method 💬

🙌👀Hello everyone, here I am again starting another blog for you, today I will tell you that we finished The Grammar-Translation Method and The Direct Method. We saw about its origin, how to work with it, how it became known and put into practice!!!!👌👍

Here is some information about The Direct Method, its origin and how it was applied over the years.

The Direct Method

The direct method of teaching was developed as a response to the Grammar-Translation method. It sought to immerse the learner in the same way as when a first language is learnt.

All teaching is done in the target language, grammar is taught inductively, there is a focus on speaking and listening, and only useful ‘everyday' language is taught. The weakness in the Direct Method is its assumption that a second language can be learnt in exactly the same way as a first, when in fact the conditions under which a second language is learnt are very different.

Example
The teacher explains new vocabulary using realia, visual aids or demonstrations.

Here are some videos and photos of what I saw in class😊👀👇

   

Look this information!!! 👀👀❤❤
