Interaction in ESO
Interaction in ESO
I would like to teach in English in ESO. I would use a Communicative approach to teach English. I would like to interact with my students in various ways. I would like them to feel comfortable asking me questions and, hopefully, be able to send doubts through an electronic medium so that I could answer any problems that occurred to the students whilst they were connected to the Internet at home.
I would include a class blog in my class so that the activities carried out in the class could be recorded in a central place. All the students would have access to the blog and some tasks would be required to be carried out on the blog. For example, students would have to find a song that they liked and post it with the lyrics and a glossary of the most important words with their meanings.
Inside the class the students would work in groups and pairs to complete tasks and there would be feedback sessions so that all of the ideas created in the class could be shared.
The sensation of working in a team would increase motivation levels in the class this hopefully would have a knock on effect on student behaviour. Another advantage of interacting in the classroom would be a decrease in anxiety levels as students would be able to have their doubts solved quickly and effectively.
A disadvantage of student interaction through electronic devices would be the fact that some students may not have a computer or internet connection at home due to financial constraints.
