What was useful /not useful in terms of the classroom practice?
Looking at the course that have passed, I can say that the presentation that I had to do were very useful, because they made me think on my teaching practice and gave me hints to improve it, in relation to the different approaches that we studied.
Also, making a parallel between the approaches was very useful, because the comparison made me reflect on the positive aspects of each one.
What things you enjoyed/didn't enjoy?
I really enjoyed the readings. They were great! very interesting and motivating to read. Very useful! I also enjoyed writing on the blog, because it was an instance of reflection on the course. But I didn't enjoy posting comments on other blogs. Most of the times I had nothing to say, and I think that was a little bit forced. Reflecting on my process is OK, but commenting on others were boring.
What you think would improve this module, why?
I think that spending more time on studying the Communicative Approach would be great. Finally, that approach is the one that we want to apply, or at leats try it. So, I think is important to focus more on that. However, the knowledge of the other approaches is very useful too!
María José I think that you are right when you said that we should spent more time learning Communicative Approach maybe giving example of activities, of context, ideas to when applied, how to take the best of it ext...
ResponderEliminarI also agree with you that the communicative approach is the best one to improve the oral skills. If we can mix the most important aspects of the other approaches with the communicative approach I think it would be great.
ResponderEliminarIt would be good to khow to make the communicative approach more doable in the classroom, how to evaluate tasks and make the most of it.
