WORD WALL STRATEGY FOR TEACHING VOCABULARY

Didactic material for teaching different topics to my students.

This material was created by myself using pictures and I applied the Word Wall Strategy in order to increase my students' vocabulary. Those posters helped my students to remember words from given topics at English classes. 

TEACHING PETS AND FARM ANIMALS THROUGH SONGS

Teaching English Language through songs is a wondergul resource for increasing students' performance in the target language. They can improve vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar and they develop fluency by singing songs. But the most important aspect is that they enjoy a lot. You can observe this video and you will realize it. Besides, you can notice that I changed the letter of the song in order to adapt my class concerning to farm animals.

ASKING PERSONAL INFORMATION QUESTIONS

According to Wikipedia, Physiotherapy is a health care profession primarily concerned with the remediation of impairments and disabilities and the promotion of mobility, functional ability, quality of life and movement potential through examination, evaluation, diagnosis and physical intervention carried out by Physical Therapists.

 

Those are my students from Physiotheraphy during the first English class. I asked them to interview their classmates in order to ask them personal information questions. Then, they had to talk about their partners in front of the class.

 

For instance: She is Diana. Diana is 19 years old and she lives in Santiago. Her phone number is 999-9999. She is single and she does not have children.

TEACHING ACADEMIC WRITING AT UDELAS THROUGH THE CAROUSEL STRATEGY

The Carousel Strategy is a helpful way to teach a topic. First of all, you need to provide students with cardboard and markets. You fix the cardboard on the wall with the titles that you want they complete with information about the theme.

Ask them to form groups of three or four students. After that, they have to read the material provided by the teacher concerned with The Writing Process.Then, they are located in front of each cardboard as you can see on the pictures and they have to write a sentence related to the asked data. After one minute, they have to move to the another cardboard and they write something about the title. At the end, they have to write on each cardboard without repeating the data.

Finally, the teacher reads the sentences correcting spelling and grammar mistakes with students. 

CELEBRATING THE ENGLISH WEEK AT LAS BARRERAS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
