!What an amazing week 3!

¡Another week full of learning!

Discussing about aural/oral skills, gave me the oportunity to know how I can work on listening and skpeaking skills. Starting with listening, it was surprinsing to know that the 40% of our time we spend on listening, and this skill can be worked exactly the same as we do with reading, it means with a pre, while, and post listening. For developing this skill in our students we can use lots of materials, but the one I found just practical was " authentic materials", with this students are listening to real language which is good as they are familiar with native speakers.

On the other hand, using CALL (Computer-Assisted language Learning)is a great idea as computers are now part of teachers and students' lives, they give students the big oportunity to get feedback without affecting their sensitivity and they can learn by their own pace. At the same time we cannot forget that human element is necessary in the learning process.

Going to "DELICIOUS", I can say that using it will help me search information easier and quicklier, and the idea of sharing with other teachers is much better, so we can "steal" websites from them. I was talking to my collegues about this handy tool and I even suggested that they should create their own ones. They liked the idea a lot! One thing I have notice since I started this course,is that the knowledge I am acquiring is not only helping me be better in my teaching process, but also I am sharing this expertise with people around me. It's rewarding!

Finally reading some other people's report about their final project, helped me in order to have a much clearer idea on how I can address mine! The one that I chose was based on the multiples inteligences, the author wanted to reach every student's style and do a better job for EVERYBODY!  I think it is a magnific idea as all our students need to benefif from our teaching process.

This week was just extraordinary!

Waiting for the next one!!!
