First of all, Maribel has taken us out the class to
see a bin, in which there were some plastics and rubbish. She said she did it to
show us a new strategy we can use to teach children good habits. Then, we have
done a summary about what we have done the
last day. Besides, we have started the point 1.3, which was about the ROYAL
DECREE 126/2014. Maribel advised us to know about it despite of the continuous changes of law, because the next one may be quite similar. Then, our teacher has shown us the law in Spanish, and we have
learnt about “estrategias de comprensión, funciones comunicativas, estrategias de
producción, ejecución,...”. But we realized the last part was the most usual to
determine, as teachers, the contents we are going to use in a programation. So,
in a programation we are going to take into account objectives, contents,
teaching methodology,... After that, Maribel talked about the article 8 "Didactic programming", and she alluded the parts in which we have to work
harder: E (strategies and tools for assessing student learning) and F
(qualification criteria). Other important articles are: article
9 (Evaluation of teaching and
learning process, which must be continuous and global), and article 14 (Foreign
language learning).
From my point of view, the contents are a bit hard to
learn, but I love how Maribel try to teach and advice us about the importance
of teachers saying: “We are the teachers, no parents”, “You can use, for
example, math´s problems to increase the interaction between children while they
are solving problems together”, “Parents were enchanted about the idea of
speaking exclusively English in my classes”. Moreover, our teacher
always talks us about curious and interesting things as “The day of the
languages in Europe on September, 26.”.
Finally, in this class I have learned new words and
strategies. I would like to remind the plural of "law" is "rules", and
other words like: entrepreneurship, suitable conditions, key competences, "advice" as noun and "advise" as verb, or the
difference between "evaluation/assessment" and "appraise".
