FINALLY THE LAST BLOG OF THE SEMESTER

-




Hello everyone, it's me again, I thought last week's blog was the very last one but no, here I am. 😅

 This week was supposed to be dedicated to studying for the midterm, however, we had to do some graded activities. 

 

Several activities can be done with students during the class to improve their reading skills, pronunciation, and listening.  My classmates did some fun activities to help us with the aforementioned.

 

My group did an activity related to reading comprehension at an advanced level, we used skimming and scanning techniques to measure the comprehension skills of our classmates.

 

The midterm was canceled due to the 2024 Presidential Inauguration, again we will have to reduce the vacation days since we will have to go next week for other subjects, anyway, here I leave you with the pictures of the activities and I hope you like them, we had a lot of fun.  😁😁😁😁



This semester was filled with challenges, fatigue, stress, and a mountain of homework, but it was also a time of immense learning and fun. What I will cherish the most, beyond the knowledge gained, is walking into the classroom and seeing my classmates. Despite everyone having their own circle of friends, it’s a wonderful blessing that they can be a beautiful part of my life.

 A heartfelt thank you to all the teachers for dedicating their time to teaching us. 

See you next semester, everyone!

  Welcome back! This week, we dive into the importance of receptive skills in language learning. These skills—listening and reading—are essential for anyone looking to learn English with fluency. Receptive skills allow you to understand and process information, forming the basis for successful communication in any language. In our class, we discussed effective strategies that teachers can use to help students improve these skills. From active listening exercises to guided reading activities, we explored various methods educators can implement to enhance learners' comprehension. At the beginning of the class, we read an article about what people eat in Barcelona to assess the student's reading comprehension and information retention. After reading, Teacher Orlando asked us: "What was the article about?", "How many meals do they have in Barcelona?", and "What foods are mentioned in the article?" The purpose was to validate whether we understood the...

Welcome to my blog!  I am Genesis Vasquez, and I will share my journey through learning English Didactics. I am currently a fifth-year student of Translation and Interpreting at the Universidad Evangélica de El Salvador. Teaching is a big challenge, but I am willing to learn and capture as much knowledge as possible to share with others. So, pack your luggage to start this journey with me. Going back to college makes me feel very concerned because I will have to work harder than ever due to my work and academic responsibilities, however, I decided to start with the best attitude. The English Didactics class is divided into two classes that will be scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays. In our first class, the professor explained a brief overview of the activities we will be doing throughout the semester. He explained what the class was about and we took a diagnostic test. In the second class, we learned about the grammar-translation method (GTM) . A method that started in the 1840s a...

The Kolb´s Experiential Learning Cycle + Learning Styles

  Hello, everyone! I will share with you what we learned this week. The Kolb´s Experiential Learning Cycle David Kolb's theory of experiential learning suggests that learning happens in a cycle with four stages: experiencing something directly, reflecting on the experience, forming abstract ideas based on the experience, and then testing these ideas in new situations. He believes that learning begins with actually doing something or having a direct experience. 1.      Concrete Experience: This stage involves learners experiencing something new or engaging in practical activities. It's all about direct, hands-on learning. 2.      Reflective Observation: After the hands-on experience, learners think about what happened. They consider what went right, what went wrong, and what lessons they can take away from the experience. 3.      Abstract Conceptualization : Learners try to make sense of their experience by coming up...
