Eigth week

  

    Well, this week was really useful for us because we learnt the process of teaching receptive and productive language skills. The receptive language skills   are: listening and reading, and the productive   language skills are: speaking and writing. We as future teachers have to know the process to follow for each of them. For example, for teaching listening skills teacher have to follow these steps: pre-listening, while-during reading, and post- listening activities. The same procedure for teaching reading skills: pre-reading, while-during reading, and post-reading. For teaching speaking skills are: eliciting, restricted, oral practice, and developing oral fluency. The process for teaching writing skills are: brainstorming, drafting, reviewing, and editing. In this site you can find more information about this topic.

   Furthermore, we learnt about a lesson plan, its parts and how to do lesson plans according each skill, through a didactic PPT. Of course many of us didn´t have a clear idea about it, another important thing  that the teacher emphasized  was the lesson objectives which must be clear and specific  because through they we state what we want students gain from the lesson. By the way, they must be focused on communicative skills and start with ´´ will be able to´´.   

   To reinforce our knowledge acquired in class, the teacher sent us to evaluate a lesson plan, for this activity she provided us a rubric.  I am going to apply this knowledge in lesson plans that I have to do in the lesson planning classes and in my professional life.  Thanks for the knowledge that you share whit us.

See you next week.
