    Hello, Byrito your video is amazing and very useful to teach to the teens because in this web we can improve tothe learners the reading skill with fresh news about the country or over the world, this web I like it because we can choose the level of the new according our learners knolwledge for example in level 1 and 2 the can just listen the news with easy vocabulary according with their level and in level numbere 3 they can at the same time listen and watch the news.
    I think the most important part of it is that the learners after every sentence can stop to repeat the sentence. I am going to put in practice this web with my students to improve their reading skill and also motivate them the reading habit in and outside the classroom.

    I agree with the others that this is a nice way to get students reading and listening (connecting words to sounds as well - it could probably help their pronunciation). Have you actually used the app with students? Are there any disadvantages that you've run into while using it?

    Hello Byron
    Congratulations for sharing us this video which is related with news. To tell the truth this application allows us learning a polite and academic vocabulary because it is related with news around the world. For sure, this video will be useful for me because I have students who are interested in. I need only set the appropriate level according my group of students and that’s it. Finally, these activities guide students and teachers to develop the main English skills such as reading, listening, speaking and vocabulary.

Reflection about Young Learners (Jorge Quinaluiza)

Talking about young learners I would like to say that young learners are enthusiastic students that want to show understanding to the teacher even if they are wrong or wright. However, they show much interest in learning a foreign language when the class is very interested, funny or difficult. At the same time, they can be easy demotivated when the classes are not well performed. That’s why teachers should adapt materials that are not too long. It must be funny colourful to catch young learner’s attention. Describing the three groups: Young learners (children ages 5-12), Teenagers (ages 13-18+) and Adults (professionals, college students). There are many differences between them. For example, children from age 5-12 To Brunet the essences of creativity out how to use what you already know in order to go beyond what you already think. In a relation to this thinking and according to me young children learn in a natural way like playing, discovering, imitating without taking care t...

Teaching Adult Learners (Byron)

Teaching Adult Learners    ( Byron Soria)     Well, I chose this topic, because, actually I am working  at the University as an English teacher, and obviously I am interested to learn new things, and share some ideas. I consider this article is good in the teaching-learning process especially with adults. I would like to share really good aspects that this paper mentions and add others things base on my own experience. For  example, this article says Adults have a lot of experience that can contribute to the class.     I completely agree with this. I had the opportunity to work with some teachers that were  studying  in the university. They have been educators in different schools for some years, but they do not have a bachelor’s degree, they were in the collage to get the degree. Obviously, they have experience in the teaching  field . One day one of them told me. “Teacher, I know a game in Spanish can we adap...
