Reflection 4

1)      Step by Step

 1_ Warm up: in this part we stretching our body, for example we shake our hip, we make circles with our heads and shakes ours foots.

2_ Audience have to write Places: the students had to write their favourite place and we helps they to understand better.

3_ Show the emotions:  we had to represent with our face and body different mood

4_ Sculptures: with the various emotions and place used previously we had to play to the sculptor and statue, and then we change the roles. Also the same time we had a conversation with easier English for the students try to understand.

5_ Follow the story:  first as a class we had to make or create a brief story and compete with classmates

6_ finally replay the story: we had to make a new story because the student chooses the topic, first without emotions and then with a emotions that they give us.

In my perspective I believe that my work was good, that use a lot body language, but also I have some lack, I mean, in the way to try speak have to be more loud.

This activity was amaze and awesome because I can share my knowledge with other people and the same learn more about how try and explain to the students and also have more experience.

I felt realize, happy, proud and spend a good time with the job.

I need to improve my teacher voice and work in this.

2) For High School:

First, we warm up with some expressions that the teacher give and they have to represent but without any word.

Second, the students will have to write famous place of the world and create a little conversation about it.

Third, they will have to tell a little anecdote that they had with verbs in past and also using a lot body language.

Fourth place, they will have a little fun with representations and of their favourite actor, with typical expressions.  

In fifth place, they will have to act but with emotions that give their classmates.

Reflection #8

1) What is the concept of technology enhanced language learning?

     Technology is a tool so effective that is useful and interactive for improve skills in a quick way and in different areas like communication, entertaining, comprehension and work between others.

 2) Think of 3 ways a student can learn/improve his English using technology.

  First the students could use a computer with Internet and like that they can enter to different page and develop a lot of skill. Secondly also they can change the configuration mainly the language of their phone and learn about new words. And finally with the TV show like Discovery Channel they learn about new concept and situations.

 3) Compare if they included some of your ideas from part 2. 

Are similar just in the links are more specific and the examples more clear but in the two part focus in the same.

 4) What are some the most innovative ideas you found in the article? Which activities do you think are adequate for High School students (or children, given your program)? I found the “Film and Video” more entertaining and this method I like for High School because for example with movies or music videos is more suitable to their age and highlight because exist different  styles about it.

Reflection #7

1) What articles did you read and why did you think about them?

I read about why is important to learn sound of English, from my perspective I consider that is so essential because sometime you need help and in the moment that you express yourself and  pronounce in a bad way, the people can´t understand to you can´t fix your problem or another anything. On the other hand I explored BBC Short Vowel Sounds Video Lessons where the sounds are very similar but not equal and many time i confuse a lot but with practice I can achieve.

2. What aspect of pronunciation do you need to improve?

The intonation because all the American are so exaggerated in pronounce the words and the expressions, also I should practice the words that are so similar because often I say the words a little bit equal.

3. Do you consider it is important to have a perfect/ native pronunciation? Why or why not?

Yes, I think so, because you can express yourself In a simple way, considering that the profession that I study is fundamental, you can highlighter between others people and have big opportunity in some things.

4. What activities did you think were helpful from your Oral English/ pronunciation class?

I believe that practice over and over again, maybe can be a sing activity because you can improve you speaking and listening skill in the same time also can be watch different videos or movies with subtitles and things like that.
