Classroom Vocabulary + demostratives

-


 WELCOME BACK!

In a recent class, two groups of my classmates took charge, each focusing on a different topic. One group introduced us to demonstrative adjectives, helping us master words like "this," "that," "these," and "those" to point out specific objects. Meanwhile, the other group covered vocabulary related to items commonly found in a classroom. Their teaching methods were engaging and practical, making it easy to grasp these essential language concepts while encouraging active participation from everyone. 

Classroom Vocabulary



Arocha’s group led an engaging lesson on vocabulary related to items commonly found in the classroom. They covered words like whiteboard, pencil, computer, fan, eraser, remote control, and desk, among others. Each item was clearly explained and demonstrated, making it easier for us to understand their usage and importance in the classroom. To reinforce our learning, they introduced a fun activity—playing the game of Ahorcado, or Hangman. This interactive game challenged us to recall the vocabulary we had just learned while having a great time with our classmates. The combination of teaching and playful practice made the session informative and enjoyable, creating a relaxed atmosphere that helped solidify the new words in our memory.

Demonstrative

 



Xochilt’s group focused on teaching us about demonstrative adjectives, guiding us through the differences between words like this, that, these, and those, and explaining their correct use in various contexts. After a clear and detailed explanation, we moved on to an activity where we filled in a worksheet, selecting the appropriate demonstrative for each blank. This hands-on practice helped reinforce our understanding. To conclude the session, we classified different words into categories based on the appropriate demonstrative, which further solidified the lesson and gave us a deeper grasp of how to use them correctly in everyday situations.


This week’s lessons were engaging and insightful, as we explored two important language topics. Arocha’s group helped us expand our vocabulary with classroom-related items, making learning fun with an interactive game of Ahorcado. Meanwhile, Xochilt’s group broke down the complexities of demonstrative adjectives, guiding us through practical activities that deepened our understanding of how to use these terms accurately in sentences. Both lessons offered valuable opportunities to practice and apply new knowledge dynamically.

Goodbye for now and see you next week for more exciting learning experiences!

  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...
