Prepositios + Classroom Vocabulary

-

 Welcome to this week’s blog! I'm excited to share with you the highlights of our recent classes and the valuable lessons my classmates have taught. Learning from them and seeing how they creatively approach different topics is always a pleasure.



 This week, we explored two interesting subjects. The first was prepositions, where we learned how to properly use words like "in," "on," and "at" to describe location, time, and movement. My classmate made the lesson engaging with examples and interactive activities. The second topic was reading comprehension, which focused on classroom vocabulary. We practiced identifying common items like "desk," "chalkboard," and "projector," and applied this vocabulary in various reading exercises that helped us improve our understanding of the text. Both sessions were fun and informative!

PREPOSITIONS

Maddie’s group taught us about prepositions, specifically focusing on prepositions of place like in, on, at, under, above, and across from. They provided several examples to clarify their use, and to make the lesson more engaging, they read a story where we had to place objects based on the prepositions mentioned. This activity helped us better picture and understand how prepositions work in context. Prepositions are crucial because they help us describe the location and position of things, making our communication clearer and more precise. At the end, they also handed out candies as a fun reward.



 CLASSROOM VOCABULARY

Ale’s group taught us classroom vocabulary. They asked us to describe our teacher in one word and share our favorite subject and why. Then, they introduced important words like assignments, projector, attendance, worksheet, and whiteboard. We also did two written activities where we read a story and answered questions on two worksheets. In the end, some of us explained what we had learned, and they gave us gummies as a treat. Learning classroom vocabulary is important because it helps us understand and communicate better during lessons, making it easier to follow instructions, complete tasks, and participate in discussions.

 


This week, we learned about the importance of classroom vocabulary and how to use prepositions of place. Both lessons were engaging and helped us improve our communication skills in practical ways. From describing where things are to understanding keywords used in class, these topics will help us in future lessons. 

Thanks for reading, and see you next week!

  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...
