Coming next...make up!

Hi there!!

Yesterday we had our last regular class before the winter break. We finished working on CLT and we started working on the Natural Approach.

As next week we are having the make up, I will be seeing most of you after the holidays. For homework you have to finish answering the questionnaire on Natural Approach and read the chapter on Task Based Language Teaching.

Some of you I will be seeing on Friday, so that's all for now

Getting there!!

Hello!!

How are you?? I know you are all very tired.... WE are tired, in fact, but the Winter Break is almost here, so hold on!!

Yesterday we worked on CLT (always comparing it to previous approaches and to current trends in education: remember it is important to have the timeline perspective in mind). At times, the questions and answers led us a little away from the topic... in fact, there were several interesting ideas that we reflected on yesterday (such as the concept of "needs analysis", or how to deal with heterogeneous groups; we also  mentioned the current plurilingual multicultural approach).

Next Friday we will finish dealing with CLT (only a few more questions to go!), and then we will work on the Natural Approach, so make sure to read about it in chapter 15. Also, print the questionnaire on it that you can find in this blog. I do not ask you to answer it because I know you have two term tests next week, so....

and...
