2986. Communication, Just Communication!
If you’re a second or
a foreign language teacher remember that messages to learn that language at
classes should be meaningful for our students.
Sometimes we teachers can say
many things, but they’re boring for our students.
Talk about their interests,
for example talk about their city, their classmates, even about nice things
concerning the daily conducting of classes, when we teachers and students
interact among us in a nice way.
Sometimes our messages and all that has to do
with learning and acquiring English (for example) is so far from our lives! So the
students can see the second or foreign language classes as something so far
from their lives. If that’s the case they will not apply themselves to learn
that language.
If I say that from a positive viewpoint, we have to make classes
into something practical and naturalistic! Do we know about our students’
interests? Sports, their friends, their families, their likes, music, movies,
favorite songs… better if they’re clean likes and loves, which are in
accordance to their dignity as unique persons.
Something we can do in order to
learn about them is to talk with them between classes, at tutorial sessions or
at the recess, or whenever the chance shows up. / Photo from: woman_dog_airplane www pel360 com. many youngsters
