This week was really productive. My teacher
began the class with a power point presentation about teaching listening which
has many mistakes so, she gave as some recommendations to improve our power point
presentations like: to use just key phrases about topic, avoid using to much
text on the slide, use contrasting colors for the text and background for easy
reading. Another important thing avoids using animations because the audience
does not pay attention to the message of the presentation, etc.
Furthermore, I also learned how to teach speaking.
Speaking is one the most important skills. The aim of speaking is communication
and that does not require perfect English. Break the silence is the better way
to develop it. We cam improves this skill through many activities such as:
role-plays, information gap activities, telling stories, debates, etc. For more information about power point you can visit this site.

Verónica,
ResponderEliminarI would like to give you some suggestions for you to improve your blog. First, your posts need to provide all the information I asked you at the beginning of the semester when I explained how to keep this learning reflective blog. You must keep in mind that the most important part of the blog is your reflection on your learning process. You must also mention the ways in which you will use what you are learning in this class in the future as an English teacher. Your answers are too short and there are not good examples of this reflection. There are also some very basic grammar and structure mistakes, so please edit your entries again. One more thing, I suggest working on your blogs design, try to include at least one picture for each entry, so it looks more appealing.
Also find out more resources for each of the topics that we study in class.
Regards,
Wilma.
