Group presentations

 Hello there! I hope you've had a wonderful weekend. Last week, we started with group presentations of topics like: basic grammar, vocabulary, advanced pronunciation and listening comprehension.

1. Basic grammar or for beginners:

We did a simple task that consisted of creating a sentence with different words. In my case, I got the word "write" and did my sentence with the past tense "wrote"; I wrote a letter to my mom.


 2. Vocabulary: 

House things! This exercise was guessing how you named things that you can find at home. For example, the kitchen, a pan, windows, etc.

 

3. Advanced pronunciation:

So we designed a pretty cool activity, but unfortunately, the electricity went off and we couldn't finish it. Anyway, we did a lottery game from scratch with homographs and homophones words. They are super hard to identify  that's why we gave a context sentence for them to understand. Now they all know how to pronounce correctly these words!!!

 

4. Advanced listening comprehension:

In this case, our classmates showed us a video from an interview with two guys with strong accent. Then, they played a song and asked us a few questions :)

 Hello, what's new? I found out that your birthday was last week 👀 so I hope you've had an amazing day; sending my best wishes for ya!💗 So in this past week, we learned a new method:  The Silent Way Method Gabeb Gattegno, who was an Egyptian mathematician and educator, founded The Silent Way in 1970. It is based on three main points: discovery, problem-solving in TL and uses of physical tools. Principles: 1. Teachers should concentrate on how students learn, not on how to teach. 2. Imitation and drill are not the primary means by which students learn. 3. Learning consists of trial and error, deliberate experimentation, suspending judgement, and revising conclusions. 4. In learning, learners draw on everything that they already know, especially their native language 5. The teacher must not interfere with the learning process. Techniques: Sound-color chart Each block of color represents a sound in the TL; the students can form syllables, words, and even sentences. In this case,
