English beyond the classroom: doing research
English is one the most spoken language in the globe, but I had always wanted to know if there were any connection between English as a foreign language and poverty. For that, I embarked on a quest for the "true". This implied doing research. In this piece of work, I show my ability to carry out research projects through simple steps such as choosing a theme, stating clear objectives, doing literature review, synthetizing, and offering recommendations as a way to provide answers to problems found.
Creativity in two steps
When educators want to aspire to elevate their practices, cultivating creativity becomes pivotal. Let me share my skills and experience incorporating thinking tools like Embody thinking and Empathy into my teaching approach. By seamlessly blending these two tools, I discovered an effective method to facilitate learning in motion, providing students with a deeper grasp on concepts and ideas, and a lot of fun.
Body Thinking
In this activity students were practicing daily activities, so they should practice the frequency in which they do their activities. For that, I placed 4 frequency adverbs in different places in the classroom, then they moved to different adverbs according to how often they do the activities that I asked. For example, I asked; How often do you go out for dinner? then they moved to always, usually, sometimes or never spots. Most of the time English learners have to think a lot about what the order of certain expressions is, with this activity they were more spontaneous for expressing their ideas.
Many ESL learners struggle when learning grammar, especially when it comes to connectors In order to learn what the role of connectors is, I decided to write a short story for my students. As they are beginners, I decided to give some students phrases and others some connectors. Once they were familiar with the phrase or connector. I asked each participant to empathize, it means, imagine being that phrase or word, then they link together as I read the story. Once they were linked, they tell the story using their bodies, emotions, physical movements. The shift here is that learners learn how language, spoken or written, is connected by using purposeful words that add or contrast ideas. Here they were familiar with the following connectors. but, however, plus that, suddenly, also... The result was that they found easier to understand connectors by using movement rather than just being spelt out by the teacher. The activity basically consisted of using their bodies to link the story as they listen to it
