            Today, the summary of our class is a continuation of the previous class. So we have gone on learning new methods: The CLIL (Content Language Integrated Learning), The TBL (Task Based Learning), the TPR (Total Physical Response), and the Natural Approach, which was developed by Krashen. Then, our professor have done a summary about the aims we want to get by using these methods, and the importance of being eclectic teachers. Besides, we watched a video with examples of drills, and a video about how teaching phonetic to children by using a song. At the end of the class, we have been refreshing the 10 vowels in English language.

From my point of view, this class have been useful but quite hard, because of our schedule and the topic of the class. However, I appreciate the effort of our professor to explain every method showing us videos with real examples. Also, I consider very interesting the advice of having a mascot in the class, and the attention to affection in the Natural Approach.

Finally, I have consolidated some vocabulary, but I´ve gone on learning new words and concepts:

                             WORDS                                                   CONCEPTS      

                engage, clicking, jigling, kite,                            CLIL, TBL, TPR, 
                ink, puff out and bend.                                    and Natural Approach.
