The first thing must be done is focusing on the question I’m given and not
answer it quickly. After that I should know what the topic is, so I can look
for information and the resources needed, but before this we must plan how I’m
going to treat it. Knowing what we are
working with is important as well. I plan what I’m going to say and then I
design the way of exposing, the less words the better presentation it is and
more attention I get.
The final product must be presented, so the communication is the main
point, moreover we have to know to make a good presentation, this is why
audiovisuals are really important (The myth of inspiration is not valid for
foreign language teaching). Everything must
be planned, so I can’t rely on imagination.
AUDIO-PLAYER
At earlier ages, languages are acquired by
listening and having a lot of exposure to the language. Listening don’t require
to understand each word but the main idea.What do we hae to consider about this device?
- Most textbooks were supplemented with audiotapes to carry out listening activities.
- Some activities can be practiced at home thanks to them.
- There is a lot of material especially pubished for children.
- Nowadays they are being replaced by CDs and DVDs.
VIDEO AND CAMERAS
- The use of VTE and Cameras have been really poor in classrooms.
- We all know the power of attraction of TV sets due to movement and sound are motivating.
- Probably, the best way of making something interesting is by creatingboth teacher and children their own devices,
- There is a lot of ways of integrate the pupils such as playing roles, investigation or discussions about the final product.
TV SETS AND COMPUTERS
- The connection between a TV set and a computer is, nowadays, simpler than ever before.
- Most TV sets have a S-VHS, VGA or HDMI connection.
- At the same time, DVDs are today highly affordable, with all the advantages they provide.
Spain was not still a member of the European Union by 1981, year that a programm for English learning became very popular: Follow me (BBC Learning) which was destinated for both adults and teenagers and it tried to give a new listening English learning perspective.
By the same time, there were a digital breach between the underdeveloped countries, where technology was unavailable for most population; and the developed ones, where any media and technological device was at fingertips. Nowdays the breach is increasing.
