Reflection 3: A case of effective language teaching.

The students whom I am working with are all native English speakers. They are studying Spanish right now, and the teacher is always motivating them through funny reviews, games and group work, in order to help her students to learn in a better way. This is the reason why the students are always motivated and willing to participate in all the activities she plans for them.

These students began to learn spanish only three weeks ago,so they already know just some basic topics like the greetings, numbers, colors, months of the year, days of the week and some daily expresions. The teacher asked the students to create a list of words with different categories (greetings, colors, number, days of the week, months of the year and daily expresions), and the students had to clasify the words according to their categories. Each category had to be represented with different color. Students also could clasify the words by making some drawings that represent the actions of the word. For example, a man moving his hand could represent either Hola or Adios. what I like the most about the teacher is that she is always motivating her students to participate encouraging them not to be afraid of making mistakes and if they are having difficulties this is not a reason for fear or embarrasement.
