English Didactics Week V

 Hello there!

Every week we learn new things, and this one was not an exception. On this week we learned about the Total Physical Response method (TPR) a very interesting method to apply with those students that are really energetic, since they would have to move as they learn a second language, however, this method can get to be a little stressing for students that are shy, also it is limited because not everything can be explained with it. It was created by James Asher.

In order to practice a little using this method, we gathered in groups and were trying to remember some trendy dances from back then in the pandemic, it was really funny. Miguel had some moves haha.

Later on this same week, we checked "(De)Suggestopedia". This is a method in which the students learn quickly by feeling relaxed, interested and positive. To practice this one we were listening to some audios in different languages, specifically four, and with each one we were supposed to write down different things. The one I really liked was the one in which we had to draw.
