Defining
Hymes (1972) it enables us to convey
and interpret messages within specific
contexts.

the all participants involved.

Development of Grammatical Competence
In my class, I ask students to write sentences according topic "Modifiers"
they revise and edit their writing, I can provide grammar instruction that
guides students in their attempts to identify and correct problems in sentence
structure and usage of modifiers. This grammar instruction into the revising
and editing process helps students make immediate applications, thus
allowing them to see the relevance of grammar to their own writing.

Development of Discourse Competence
An easy and fun way to develop speeches in class
is something very useful like "swap recipes",
students should work in groups can be of four,
and tell each other a simple recipe. For example,
how to make a hotdog. I first talk about the kind
of language people use when giving instructions
like this. First cook the sausage, then chop them,
and so on. It can there are drawbacks to this
activity like that the recipes might include
ingredients or cooking methods that the students
don't know how to express in English, but
teacher will help with more vocabulary to
develop this activity.

Development of Sociolinguistic Competence
This is a activity very important to do it in all
classroom because we can know like students
have many forms of thinking, perspective,
intonation, accent and dialect to express
themselves. I have done a story-telling, but in
this case stories are provided by the students.
They will tell their own stories, where they
were born? where are their parents from?
How many siblings are? and so on. Students
need time to think of a good story from their
life, therefore teacher will begin telling the
class an interesting story from your own life.

Strategic Competence

10. ENGLISHTEACHING PRACTICIUM - FABIÁNTELLO 7/7/2017 10
Development of Strategic Competence
Short roleplays typically need some sort of
guidance to avoid them shame. In this case, the
strategic guidance is a set of keywords written on
the blackboard. The students are free to use these
words in any way they can think of. Each student
in the group has a different set of keywords,
which forces all the students to participate in the
conversation. Since their partner's keywords are
visible, the activity is quite cooperative: ideally,
students guide the conversation so that their
partner has an opportunity to use their keywords.

Nonverbal Communication
It convey with body language, gestures, eye contact, physical distance, and
other nonverbal messages. Teachers need to send positive signals that reinforce
learning and avoid negative signals
Introduction
I will start by asking the students, Do
you can tell if a person is happy or sad
or angry or worried with their
expressions and movements?. With the
students' responses, I will argue that
body language communicates feelings
and attitude which helps people form
judgments, assumptions and decisions.

Development
• I will call two students.
• One student should think of a movie name and whisper it to the another
student.
• This student who listened to the name of the movie has to act out words
without speaking for that all classroom recognizes or guess the movie.
• After, it is the turn of next student to listen to the name of a new movie.
• The cycle finish when someone doesn’t can act and the classroom don’t can
recognize or guess movie’s name.
• Then, I will tell them the name.
Many activities or exercises you can desig to help people understand the
meaning and importance of non-verbal communication.
