FIFTH TEACHING CLASS!

 

In this time Teacher Alex and I taugth vocabulary about Nationalities. “Vocabulary is one of the important factors in all language teaching; students must continually learn words as they learn structure and as they practice sound system” ( Linse, 2005:121).

WRAM UP

  

In this stage teacher Alex made and activity in which students will have the oportunity to act. They will get a sheet of paper in which was going to be a name of a famous occupation. They had to made the mimics and their classmates must guess the occupation. We showed them how to do it. This activity was to review the previos class.

Here teacher Alex present the new vocabulary. Eight different nationalities were presented in flashcards. Also, teacher show the how to use the question Are you...? and the answer I am... This was going to helped them to made the production. They understood the vocabulary and the grammatical procedure. 

PRACTICE

We made three activities in this stage. In the first one teacher Alex past the flashcards on the board and each student have a sheet of paper with the nationality. one by one was going to pass and put the name with the flag they consider correct.

In the second activity I use a worksheet in which they had to match the flag with the nationality. this was to recognize the vocabulary.

 The last activity was filling in the blanks. There were some snetences in which they had to complete it with the nationality. They had to followed the sentence or the picture of the flag to recognize the nationality that they had to write.

PRODUCTION

Here I made a circle with the students sitting on the flour. I use a dice for this activity. And it was in pairs, one by one was going to throw the dice and get a flag. One students was going to asked Are you Canadian? and the other one was going to answer I am Salvadoriam according to the flag they get. They took turns until everybody participate. I felt excited because they could produce some words by themselves.
