3. *AUDIOLINGUAL METHOD
The idea to use audiolingual
method is to achieve students
practice the language until
they can use it spontaneously.
In this method students learn
through repetition. For this
reason I could apply diiferent
activities using audiolingual in
my class; for example,
repetition, inflection,
replacement, completion, and
drills.
Teacher: there is a book on
the table.
Student: there is a book on
the table.

4. *BEHAVIORISM
This is a traditional method and it is when the teacher guides the
students. The professor is the only one who speaks in front of the
class explaining a lesson and the stuents listen. The class is
passive, and the students do not interact between them.

5. *Communicative Language Teaching
CLT emphasizes on learning a
language to communicate
through interaction between
students. I agree with use this
method in my classroom
because there are different
activities such as: role play,
interviews, game, information
gap. I need students learn how
to interact between them
productively and receptively
outside the classroom.

6. *DIALOGUES ACTIVITIES
Learners need to control speaking practice, in that waystudents
can gain confidence in speaking through using scripted dialogues.
In my personal opinion, the objective to use this kind of activity in
class is that students develop their oral skills by repeating a series
of short dialogues and also they can achieve confidence and
reinforcement

7. *English as a Second Language

8. *FACILITATOR
Facilitator is a teacher who
assists a group of students
in order they can
understand an information
or an activity. Most of the
tiome I act as facilitator in
my class activities because
I provide information in
which my students gain
new knowledge at the end
of every class. My objective
as a good facilitator is
involved my students in
learning activities in class,
and guide them.

9. *Grammar TranslationMethod
Students learn grammatical rules and then apply those rules by
translating sentences between target language and native language. I
would apply this traditional method in my class but I consider that my
students should acquire all different skills not only grammar skills.
According to my experiences students need to learn grammar
because is a support for the language but it is necessary students
interact using grammar in all context and not only reading and
translating.

10. *Humanistic Approach
Is how people develop
human values, feelings and
emotions into the classes.
Also students can
comprehend what other
people think or become
aware and respectful of
other cultures. For example,
I would teach to my
students how to behave in a
real life situations.

11. *Interactive Learning
The communicative purpose of language
is to create opportunities to interact in the
classroom. An interactive class for me is
doing emphasis in work in pairs, receiving
authentic language vcabulary, practicin g
oral communication inside and outside
classroom. I agree to use interactive
learning in my class because it is
necessary students feel motivated and
enthusiastic to learn.

12. *Jigsaw
Jigsaw activity is a
cooperative learning
technique that helps students
to communicate between
them ot only in a common
way. I enjoy when I practice
jigsaw in classess because it
promotes better learning,
improves students motivation,
and increases enjoyment of
the learning experience. I
have practiced three times
the activity.

13. *KNOWLEDGE ABOUT ENGLISH
Currently some students of
this generation are lacking
knowledge in English
language because most of
the teachers do not use the
appropriate techniques and
strategies for teaching.
Students need to be
motivated to learn in order
to increase their knowledge
and they will be able to
develop good Enlgish skills.

14. *LESSON PLANNING
A lesson plan is the
teacher´s guide of what
students need to learn and
how should be developed in
the class. A good teacher
always prepare their own
lesson plan and materials
for teaching. I have two
years of experience in
teaching and I always
elaborate my lesson plan.
In my personal opinion
create a lesson plan helps
you as teacher to develop a
good class environment
and to be confident about
what you are teaching.

15. *Methodology
Is how teachers organize their
ideas and put in practice in the
classroom. Nowadays some
teachers are lack of use
methodology for students
learning a new language. In
my case I first analize my
students and what they like
and in this way I prepare
different ways to teach a topic.
For example I used to apply a
particular methodology; sing a
song students like and I
accomplish with my objective.
For example: past tense( listen
a music and find verbs in past).

16. *NATURAL APPROACH
Natural approach is not
much different from Task-
Based-Learning; Natural
Approach take more
emphasis on
comprehension than
production. The last year I
used to apply Natural
Approach because I
showed a set of pictures
about food and drink,
repeating the word that
goes with each one; the
students simply watch and
listen. (compresension- not
production)

17. *PROMOTE COOPERATIVE LEARNING
I really like to implement Cooperative Learning this year in
my classroom because students divided their labor among
them. They interacted face to face. Eac students had their
specific role and duties, they had positive attitude and
independence and I am sure they learned different things
about language. It is not only work in group they have to
cooperate with the assignment.

18. *Question and Answers
My perspective about
questions and answers in a
classroom is that it gives
the students the opportunity
to reflect about a specific
information. I had the
opportunity to put in
practice this activity and I
found some advantages; it
can be used in all teaching
situations, it helps in
developing how students
express their ideas, it keeps
an interactive class.

19. *Strategies
When I teach 4° grade I
applied some strategies for
my students to learn some
words every day. For
example, I tried to teach
five new English voabulary
items every day. Also I used
some lirycs of an English
song using the five new
words they have learned. I
cosider it is a good strategy
if you want to your students
learn something else than
pen and pencil.

20. *Risk Taking
Students have to take
risks learning a new
language in order to be
successful language
learners. Risk taking
involve students and
teachers because in my
case some days ago I
took the risk to use an
interactive class using
what I learned in Theoary
and Practice class.

21. *TOTAL PHYSICA RESPONSE
I practiced Total Physical
Response when I was in my
professional practice. For
me the teacher place the
role of parner; the teacher
starts by saying a word
(speak) and demonstrating
action, the teacher says the
command and the students
all do the action. This action
should be reapiting until
sutdents feel confident with
the word.

22. *Visual Aids (resources)
Visuals are a great tool for
students because they
need to process what they
are being asked to do.
Visuals are very helpful for
teachers. My personal
experience using visual
aids is great because with
this resource stdents can
comprehend vocabulary,
expressions, prhases
because belief me they like
to learn when they see
colorful pictures.

23. *Work in Group
Work in group has many
advantages for learning
because it is an interactive
strategy and also it is
cooperative learning. What
does not one student, the
other one can helps him.
My personal experience in
work in group is fantastic
because group projects can
help students develop
specific skills and increase
productivity and
performance. I agree with
work in group as long as
the teacher sets the rules
well.
