➤Real Listening is an active process

Beyond communicative approach

What is Beyond the Communicative Approach to Language Teaching.

➧Language is a means of communication.

➧The communicative approach seeks to make meaningful communication and language use a focus all classroom activities. 

The method came as a reaction against te grammar-based aproaches such as the audiolingual method and grammar translation methods of foreing language instruction that ignored that the goal of language learning is COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE.

Challenges & Strategies in Teaching Listening

The listening process is often described from an information processing perspective as “an active process in which listeners select and interpret information that comes from auditory and visual clues in order to define what is going on and what the speakers are trying to express.

The major listening problems as follows:

➤lack of control over the speed at which speakers speak ,

➤not being able to get things repeated,

➤the listener’s limited vocabulary,

➤failure to recognize the “signals,”

➤problems of interpretation,

➤inability to concentrate, and

➤established learning habits.

But fortunately there are strategies to teach your students listening comprehension.

Let's continue with the group presentations.

G4, G5, and G6

Very good presentation of the groups, good knowledge of them, the development of the activities were excellent.

Strategies for Developing Listening Skills

Language learning depends on listening. Listening provides the aural input that serves as the basis for language acquisition and enables learners to interact in spoken communication.

Effective language instructors show students how they can adjust their listening behavior to deal with a variety of situations, types of input, and listening purposes. They help students develop a set of listening strategies and match appropriate strategies to each listening situation.

So we have to remember 
which are Procedures in Teaching Listening

➤Pre-Listening Activity

➤Whilst-Listening Activity

➤Post-Listening Activity

Also we worked in group. We Discussed about strategies for oral expression.

Example.

 What are the features of spoken discourse? What are some implications for teaching based on the spoken language’s features?

Group presentations

G1, G2, and G3

The three groups made a good presentation and they performed activities to implement and develop listening comprehension and oral expression. 

The groups implemented different dynamics where speaking and listening were put into practice.

Each group worked differently, some of them talked about the meaning of listening, its components, how and when to do it etc.

The three groups performed excellent activities.

😃

Listening comprehension is the basis for your speaking, writing and reading skills. To train your listening skills, it is important to listen actively, which means to actively pay attention to what you are listening to. Make it a habit to listen to audio books, podcasts, news, songs, etc. and to watch videos and films in the foreign language.

You should know that there are different types of listening:

➤Listening for gist: you listen in order to understand the main idea of the text.

➤Listening for specific information: you want to find out specific details, for example key words.

➤Listening for detailed understanding: you want to understand all the information the text provides.

Before you listen to a text, you should be aware of these different types. You will have to decide what your purpose is. Becoming aware of this fact will help you to both focus on the important points and reach your goal.

How does violence in El Salvador affect teachers from the school of languages regarding classroom management at Universidad Tecnológica de El Salvador?

It is no secret that the wave of violence in El Salvador is also affecting teachers and students who are victims of extortion, assault and murder.

Violence affects the learning process of students,It has serious consequences in their personal lives and disturbs the social development of the country.

In some schools of our country there have been cases where teachers are extorted by gang members: either they have to pay a certain amount of money or are killed.

This type of problem occurs frequently, especially in schools located in rural areas. 

As a result of this,Teachers better choose to request a transfer to a new institution, or worse, they have to pay a certain amount of money for not to be killed. The worst of the case is that sometimes the same students are who extort their teachers.

This is an important video where we can realize of the actions of gangs and how it is affecting the educational community, especially teachers and students.

Didactic Sequence

A DIALECTICAL MECHANISM FOR LANGUAGE TEACHING AND LEARNING

The concept of the didactic sequence has been largely studied as a theoretical and methodological procedure for language teaching and learning, since it focuses on the work of oral and written texts in a genre-based perspective. This text has the aim of extending this concept, taking into account its dialectic nature. To do so, the article reviews the definition, theoretical choices, characteristics, and modular structure of a didactic sequence, comparing this procedure to the concept of a dialectic methodology of knowledge construction in the classroom, and presents a brief analysis of a didactic sequence plan.

The effects of Physical enviroment in the classroom on basic English students.

It is so important take into account the physical enviroment in wich students are learning.

there are some negative effects that are affecting the learning of students, for example

The physical structure of a classroom is a critical variable in affecting student morale and learning.

The psychological environment in the classroom is how students feel about their learning. The use of space includes how furniture is arranged and organized, how materials are stored and maintained, how clean the classroom is and the overall color and brightness. So we have to be very carefull with the enviroment of our classroom. 

Group #6

Learning effects of class size in an EFL Setting. 

Large class-size is a great challenge to achieving success in the teaching and learning of English Language, as teachers could hardly prove their efficacy in classes thereby resulting to poor output from students.

Challenges to teaching in large classes:

➤Lack of flexibility in class activities: difficulty in varying activities, in doing group work, in enhancing critical thinking and writing skill.

➤It's difficult to keep good discipline going in a large class.

➤Perceived anonymity of the students: difficulty of learning names, of taking attendance, of getting students to come to class, of getting students to participate.

➤It can reduce the material the teacher can cover.
