Overall comments

 

Comments:

This activity and many activities that I have seen in this subject have helped me to find the best ways to teach looking at my mistakes in practice. The fact of being recording me makes me think that I have many things to do to overcome in the teaching area.

With this activity, I can have another vision of my daily practice, it is the best way in which I can provide quality to my students, since when I teach, I don’t pay attention to my mistakes, and now I can see my errors while I am teaching.

Report:

I faced some problems by the similitude and the proximity of words that appeared, but after some repetitions I could have more concentration on those words, also the first time I tried, had problems because wanted to read fast and that caused that mispronounce or made mistakes while reading. Despite of that I think could do better job after some readings and because search some words that I had pronounced badly. The words are linked to make errors because the brain predicts a word that will to be pronounced. The stress is commonly another factor that provokes mistakes since one word that is mispronounced takes another sense and meaning. The activities provided in this activity helped me because I could take into account that many words have the same vowels but change the pronunciation according to the consonant or consonants that it has.

These are my suggestions:

1.      Read many times the same written.

2.      Search for phonological activities, and strange words (those that don’t know).

3.      Read aloud and record you (helps to check mistakes).

4.      Practice (since “practice makes better”).

 

Conclusion:

This activity really makes me reflect about in how my students face problems day by day, and also it will help me to be more critical with my own job.

Personally I liked this activity because paying attention to it, I can see that is like the foundation of the language, and if I can do it, I will be better.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Act 6 concept map/ ELT related concepts

Language awareness blends a) content about language, b) language skill, c) attitudinal education and d) metacognitive opportunities, which allow the student to reflect on the process of language acquisition, learning and language use. All four of these aspects of language awareness need to be integrated into the existing subject areas. A focus on language awareness is a key aspect of creating student-centered classrooms, and assists the teacher to present material accordingly to student readiness (Bilash and Tulasiewicz, 1995, p.49).     Sources: http://www2.education.ualberta.ca/staff/olenka.Bilash/best%20of%20bilash/languageawareness.html http://www.slideshare.net/clauditacar/language-awareness
