Listening Class

LISTENING CLASS 

On July 12, Mr Mathew focused on Listening skill,  he shared some activities where students where the most important actor in the learning process, sometimes we as teachers want to have the main role  but we can not do that, because students are the ones that have make the new connections about the language. Besides the previous comment, teachers have to design a set of activities about student center not teacher center.
An activity that I really enjoyed was the one where he taught the prepositions,  he modeled, Ss practiced, a set of TPR activities where seen and also there was an assessment, he organized his class very well. If I had the opportunity to teach his lesson; I just will add a jazz chant that I usually use when I am teaching prepositions of the place in the pre-listening part; the song says  "In, on, under, (x2) next to behind, next to behind, in front of my hand (x2) clap clap clap, it works in a fantastic way with students, it is a TPR activity and I have been  done during a long time and still working with kids and even with teenagers; students sing, they practice, they move and they have fun. After this chant I will just continue with all the activities Mathew did because they well organized and planned.
