"suggestopedia"

WHAT DID I LIKE FROM MY METHOD?

I like suggestopedia because it helps to teach in an esier way, moreover, students enjoy this method.
teaching a new language, students can exercise their mind. This method make the student to feel comfortable while they are learning. this method is based on the student´s feelings, it is something rare in others methods. Teachers must have to be active, not clonws, because this needs someone who develops in a right way.

If we stimulate the right part of their brains, they will learn more and they are going to know much information than usual. So that, this method requires of songs, music, poetry, books, role-play, and things like those in order to make the student learn better. Also this way allows to acelerate the learning process because students know faster the words we want them to learn, in this case a foreing language.

The expert, Georgi Lozanov, thought that it was much better to work with the feelings of the student more than a simple topic. That means that teacher must have to know how to incorporate this method in a classroom and, how the method works.

WHAT DID NOT I LIKE FROM MY METHOD?
Well, I did not like when teachers have to look for a kind of music that they could like, or they have to ask for money to the principal in order to do the activity. Also it needs a lot of time to prepare an activity, in addition, we need time to incorporate the method in a class. It wastes time in some cases and your students do not learn as much as we want because it is only games and nothig formal.

WHAT I UNDERSTOOD  FROM THE OTHER METHOD:
 I think that TPR is a method in which we need a lot of creativity and imagination to share information with the people who learn. It is more thatn a simple listening comprehension because you have to put attention in a special way. It helps us to incorpotate new things in the learning process with the language.I think there is something wrong, students do not have chance to participate and express what they want.

I WANT YOU TO SEE THIS VIDEO. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS!!! (SUGGESTOPEDIA)

Children & Books (interesting article)

"There is no such thing as a child who hates to read; there are children who haven't found the rigth book"

                 There are children in the world’s education and they think that every single book is boring. Teachers must have to teach that in a book they can explore their imagination and they are going to develop their skills in education just reading a book by self motivation.

Like futures teachers we have to teach our students in a right way, I mean, if we have a long book we can make it short by telling and not to read we can sum up and they learn vocabulary.

A right book for a child is that one which has a lot of draws and big letter, for that reason is better to look for a short and colorful book to share with our children; they prefer to learn by draws than reading a boring understandable book.

To teach children is a big challenge because of the attention they give us, if we lose their attention we couldn’t teach. It is the same thing if we give a enormous book, they are going to be bored and the book are not going to catch their attention, that’s different with a small interesting book.

To hate reading for a child is not surprise because they are accustom to feel that when they heard “let’s read a book”, I think they have to choose the book they want to read, if they prefer to read science, nature, story, tales, whatever they want they will be interested in and they’re going to learn with their imagination and the more important by themselves.
