Listening

Hii Blogger!!!! 

Today I'm talking about how to teach children listening. 

When we learn a language it's essential to listen to the natives of that country. That's why it's important that teachers teach and work on the listening in class.

First of all, teachers have to motivate children. The best way is through tasks with songs and activities in which they participate.

Also, Teachers have to do activities before the listening, because children will understand better than if they haven't worked on this vocabulary.  Children have to feel good and teachers have to make it fun.

And finally, Teachers should do the listening in class without the radio. The outcome will be better if the teacher himself is the one speaking, or even better, if it is one of the students who talks for the other ones to listen.

See you soon!!!!

Hi Bloggers!!

Today, I'am talking about a new methodology. It call Amco.

Amco is an institution dedicated to developing books and media that enhace the learning process, improving the quality of education in effective and innovative ways.

They believe education is a fundamentak piece in our chindren's future, as they face a globalized and challeging world.

Amco's groundbraking system is based upon successfull teaching and learning techniques, which have proven effective in developing communication skills in English.

Each book has been  carefully written and edited by English speackers and educators, and designed to foster oral expression. Each unit includes situations that children experience in real life, and activities that promote colaborative work, develop critical thinking, and show cultural aspects of English- speaking conuntries.

Their mission start at schools where they have the oportunity to participate in children's learining experiences, but goes for beyond the classroom into a world that values global cooperation and colaboration as priceless tools to create a better place for all of us.

ACTIVITY 1: Qualities of teachers

Hi Bloggers!!!

Today I'll tell you about qualities of teachers. If we ask children about their favorite teachers and ask why, they will respond some general qualities. But there are two types of qualities, good qualities and bad qualities.

On the one hand, I'll tell you about good qualities. For instance, a child describes his favorite teacher as a person who is sympathetic, cheerful, close, a good communicator, concerned, likes his job, conciliator, funny, motivator.... and other positive qualities.

On the other hand, there are the bad qualities. For example if we want the child to describe his worst teacher, they probably will say that it is a person who is rough, does not like his job, unfriendly, who taught classes monotonously, who didn't let students participate, who wasn't motivating...

We, teachers, must try to acquire good qualities to positively influence children.
