In this video the teachers are using scaffolding because they are using real life situations through a telling a story step by step through the classrooom it is a good idea because all students can participate in different roles, also the teachers are using realia because hust with a simple graphic they can describe it and they are develop writing skill and the most important they can create their own material and they work in coperative learning and I don´t know if just for this video are working three teachers or they work always together is always the teachers work together is marvelous because the students always will be monitoring.
ReplyDeleteWhen I worked with young learners they alway work in teams on Friday doing handcraft like a week proyect this activity always was very interresting because they left to the routine.
Video Unit 5: Primary: Young Learners
ReplyDeleteI consider that this video was really interesting. We could see how young learners work in the classroom. We could appreciate how students interact in class. I believe that teacher use at the beginning an INTERACTIVE APPROACH, because there was an interaction between teacher and students. For example, the teacher narrated something about a trip, and students did it, they acted. Then educator asked questions about that activity for instance, why do people travel?
Students started give reason, ideas, etc. one student said for jobs, other school, etc. Everybody was participating, everyone shared their ideas. For Those reasons, I consider that teacher used an INTERACTIVE APPROACH. Then I think that teacher used COOPERATIVE LEARNING, because the teacher made SMALL GROUPS. She said, please plan a trip, she gave some instructions, and students started to work in a kind of poster.
Besides, Educator was a MONITOR, because she walked around the class and helped students, if students had a problem with a word she spelled it, even she used gestures to show the world. Everybody worked in a collaborative way.

ReplyDeleteHow do the teachers can improve an interaction environment in the classroom among the learners?
H,i, Daniela. I thing we as a teacher have to improve the interaction using some of the methods that we know, for example the realia, It is a good method that young learner They can practice with the articles there is around the children and teacher need to know how the children are learning about foreing language.
DeleteGetting student’s interaction in classroom is a crucial point that aids the teaching learning process. The idea is to have all the students engage with the academic activities developed in classrooms.
DeleteTeacher must circulate throughout the classroom in order to monitor student’s behaviour and give them the assistance that they need during their activities.
Another point to enhance the interaction in classroom could be that Teacher checks the students periodically visiting to the students at their desks and also it allows minimizing the student’s movements around the classroom and also reduce problems behaviour.
This tips mentioned above I think that will help you to keep and to foment student’s interaction in classroom.
In this vídeo the teacher provide to students a short story interacted by their students and then ask students to tell about what students are doing and also to predict a trip .students response acording their experiences .Then teacher provide materials to make students to interrelate a trip using pictures .Teacher promote a colaborative work while the students do the work she monitores them .The task is related with life of students

ReplyDeleteAccording to the video the teacher developed a role play activity , where the facilitators using REALIA to represent a journey and moving to the new land specifically the America discovering, A good activity allow learners using real artifacts and work collaboratively and cooperation, developed in social learning because allow interact among them in a comfortable setting. It is a learner centered -learning because learner bring into play their creativity, at the same to remind, analyzing the events realized in the journey step by step developing the SCAFFOLDING strategy which is represent a in poster project. This activity is very useful because allow learners express freely they think, feel and look, also it has developed learning styles as: visual, tactile, aural, kinesthetic and verbal , linguistic, interpersonal and intrapersonal.
Hello Teacher and everybody. when I wached the video, I think that the children are learning with a scaffolding task because that help them to interact with all the classmates, according to this activity the younger learners have a change to the tradicional class, I saw in the video all children are prepare to answer each one the teacher's questions and they specified the chores that each one of the children have to do according to the story. The teacher keep young learners motivated doing another activities in small groups. It is a good activity approach to children.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think. Which is the best characteristic to teach young learners in small groups or individual?
ReplyDeleteIn this video I could see how the students work in groups and develop different activities during the whole class. There is the participation of all students where teachers only guide and monitor while students develop their activities. Something that catches my attention is how in schools there is a teacher and people who collaborate for the teaching-learning process. In class they use REALY, because all the activities are participatory and use appropriate materials for the activities. They also develop individual and group work where students can learn to share and collaborate with each other.
ReplyDeleteTeachers use learning strategies with mental and behavioural procedures that students engage in. finally, I can say that the strategies that teachers use are planning, monitoring and evaluating.
