OUR LEARNING PROCESS

To observe a class let us to understand the way american teachers teach the target language, most of the time we are wondering if we should or not  use native language in our lessons but with the activity we noticed we do not need it if we really want that our students  learn, it can be difficult sometimes because for most of our students it can be the first time they are learning a foreign language, but we must try to be patient and show them a lot of examples in order they can get it by themselves, we must remember that we are  facilitators and  we have to provide them of tools to develop their own knowledge.

I would like to mention that conditions for learning are different in our country and it can be more difficult but not impossible to reach our goal,  every day we deal with 50 students or more, there is just one teacher to develop all the skills in the students: reading, listening, writing and speaking , and we have just 3 hours per week, but I think that´s the reason we are here, we are willing to learn, to share and to open our minds to improve our labor and to do something different with our students.

If we want to change we have to start to change our teaching style, and our old strategies , society is moving on and we must do it too.To use inductive strategies will let our students to discover and apply their knowledge in practical situations just this way it will be meaningful  for them, otherwise they will just  memorize and won´t develop all the abilities.

Nowadays there are a lot of resources we can get to build up our students knowledge, and it is pretty interesting that we as teachers are being part of inductive strategies, that´s the way we will be able to apply them with our students, we are drilling and pushing ourselves to change , we have learned so many things just in a couple of days so I think we will improve our strategies.
