Classmate’s Comment
Unit 11:
Post-Secondary: Young Adults and Adults
I would like
to say something about Jorge’s comment, I agree that adults are more
responsible that other learners, because they have extra motivation to do that,
for example to get a degree, or a better salary, etc. Also, I consider that
teacher promote social practice and Interactive Approach, because the students
have the opportunity interact with the others classmates and teacher as well.
Now, I would like to
try to answer Jorge’s question that is:
Is important to correct
pronunciation when adults are developing an oral task?
I think it is
important to correct students’ pronunciation or any mistake that they have, but
not when they are developing the task. I consider that is necessary that they
complete the activity, and at the end the teacher should correct the mistake. I
think it is not a good
idea to interrupt them when they are developing
an oral activity. In the video the teacher says that she takes notes about the students’ oral presentation I
agree with her.
I consider when learner finishes his presentation the
teacher should correct his mistakes. I also think that educator could use the
sandwich technique that we learned in class. First say something positive, and
then say the mistakes or something that students have to correct, and finally
say other positive aspect about students’ presentation.
