Works and Reflections

Pioneers of Education

I chose this assignment that I worked with Iván for the General Pedagogy subject in 2nd Year, it was pretty valuable for me learning about these theorists, specifically the one we selected, which was Lev Vygotsky, in our presentation we covered some aspects about his ideas, and methods, which are useful for learning a second language. Overall, the reason for choosing it is because I believe his methods can be useful for my teaching experience with young learners.

Inclusive Education

This was task for the subject of Educational Psychology in 2nd Year, we had to record a video explaining about Inclusive Education, as well as we had to provide a brief explanation of its context in our country.

I chose this due to the importance of this topic, and each educator should be aware of it and how it takes place in one´s country. In our country, it is a complex situation in which students with special needs are almost neglected from the educational program, and it is mainly because of the lack of preparation from teachers and unsafe environments that they may face at schools.

Handout
Teaching Listening

For the subject of Didactics I in 3rd Year, I worked with Aline, we chose the topic "Teaching Listening" since it is one of the fundamental skills that are learned to acquire a foreign language. The handout covered important points about teach listening, because it is a topic that is relevant in the process of language acquisition.

This file demonstrates achievement because I am able to spot important features about the importance of teaching listening, as well as key methods for its application, since it is a skill that sometimes tend to be forgotten.

Sign Language Project

The Sign Language Project was an interesting and significant experience. At first, I was insecure and worry about how to approach it to language teaching and how we could deliver a good and useful content for everyone. Nonetheless, with the group we were able to record and deliver a video that we are proud of. As a matter of fact, it took a lot of practice for each of us, but we had fun practicing and recording together our respective parts, as well as learning from each other due to the fact that we saw each other after a long time.

It is possible to say that the project connected us even more, because we thought and reflected about the importance of sign language and its application in any context, as well as we are proud that our class was the first one that opened the door for other opportunities related to sign language. Overall, it was a valuable experience and the learning process of it during the classes was wonderful, studying a little bit about sign language helped me to develop a stronger appreciation for deaf culture.
