SEPTEMBER, 28th

 Today we have continued thinking by little groups possible activities that we can practice with very young learners using the Audiolingual method and then, each group has exposed their activity to the rest of the class. By this way we can understand better some aspects of this method like: characteristics, advantages, disadvantages and also how we can teach with it.

After the expositions of the activities by all the groups we have seen some videos which showed examples of activities which used the Audiolingual method. One example is a song which is called Hockey Cockey.

What I have learnt today? Today I have learnt that althought this method could be a bit borig for us, the adults, because of the repetition of the words, structures or sentences; it has some benefits or advantages for the students' learning. Some of these advanges are: the students learnt the correct pronunciation of the words easily, the listening an the speaking are efficiently developed, thanks to the visual aids the vocabulary is richer...

As I said yesterday, I think that is important that the teacher has proposed to us to think activities using the method because by this way we can understand better the theoric contents. About the method I think that is too positive that the students have to repeat or use the different drills in the pronunciation's learning but in the other hand, I think that is better to combine it with other methods to avoid the students' boredom.
