What I really liked from this method is that the objectives depend on the learner's needs and also that " it is designed for beginners to help them become intermediates". the method is based in acquisition, it means that you have to make the concept yours.
When a child is learning how to speak the child learn in a natural way, the child's parents gives him motivation, self- confidence; in that way they are encourage him to speak. The same happens with this method the teacher does everything to develop in the learner basic communication skills, oral and written. I really like that the teacher has a fundamental role it depends on the teacher reach success.
What I did not like from my method.
I believe there is too much pressure, I mean the teaches has a lot to do, he is responsible on maintaining a constant flow of comprehension and motivation, it seems pretty simple but the types of activities for this method requires a dynamic teacher.
What I understood of the other two methods.
The task based method is a very interesting method because it is based in theory and practice like the way we supposed to learn; because the more we practice something the more we learn and the teacher is in charge making the task experience not as frustrated as we are accustomed but making the task fun and motivated to learn the target language.
The silent way is a method in which the student gives all his effort in order to lean the target language. This method the teacher remains as quiet as possible in that way he is creating a sense of responsibility and independence.
It is very helpful because the learners can improve thier knowlegde by themselves, but I think the teacher has to help more for their learning.
ResponderEliminarYes it is true , the teacher has a fundamental role because he or she is responsible of children's learning. Teachers have to develop a really good classroom environment where the students can feel comfortable. It helps to reduce the anxiety in the classroom, and as you know the learners can learn better if they have a low level of anxiety. I'm really interesting in a point that you mentioned. It is that Narutal Approach Method work better if we are dinamic teachers. It means that we have to develop our motivation; then, we can transmit our motivation to everyone.
ResponderEliminarIm in agrement with you, because as we know the teacher is the principal actor and the authority in the classroom. Teachers have the responsibility to make the process of learning more dynamic as possible which children's learning is meaningful. the teacher has to transmit motivation to learn, and the environment has to be comfortable
ResponderEliminarThis method is very helpful because the students learn how to speak a foreign language, and it is very interesting because they learn it in a natural way, also the teacher does not force the students. However, a thing that I do not like from this method is that the teacher does not give much importance to grammar, and explicit correction of student errors.
