Today we have received a special visit. Inma is a teacher of a school which is called "La Candelaria" and is located in Azucaica. She has been talking about how start the teaching of a second language with very young learners while she was showing videos related with the information she was giving to us. In these videos appeared students showing different skills like: saying and recognising the numbers, doing descriptions...It is incredible that students of 3-4 years old can pronounce and identify what the teacher is saying to them without any problem.
What I have learnt today? Today, I have learnt two phases in the teaching of a second language: the first one is related with the exposition of the language to the students and the other one, with the expression. First of all, the students will use their body to answer the question of the teacher and little by little they will use the verbal communication.
It has been a very interesting class because we have had the opportunity of check through the videos how can we apply the tips and methods of teaching that the teachers have tought to us. I like that teachers use alternatives to show us what they have to teach insted of teaching theoric contents only. I thought that it was impossible that very young learners could speak and understand the language almost better than an adult.
In this picture you can see a present that Inma has given to all the class.
