Beyond communicative approach In this session, my group had the opportunity to develop the class, in our activities we did that students could participate as much as possible. either by asking for something related to the unit or giving the opinion about the unit as well . the most important in our class it was to perform activities that involved listening and speaking. as teacher, it should be our major priority to learn how give a class by implementing activities with these important two skills. The pamphlet that this session had was about the methods that have been developed through these last years in order to have a good undertanding at the end of the class.

I think that teachers can not focus on an specific method, they should work with all of them for getting better result. when a teacher wants to teach grammar

FIFTH SESSION (Strategies for oral expression)

STRATEGIES FOR ORAL EXPRESSION In this session, some classmates developed a class in which both listening and speaking was exposed to the class. they tried that most of the students could participate in each activities that they did. I think that the most important thing in an English class is that students can speak more than the teacher. Students have to show what they already know and they have to believe if they practice more often in class, the outcomes will be better so teachers are just the guide for developing the 4 macro skill. Speaking is the skill to develop many areas as it is the fluency, pronunciation, and intonation. so we understand that this skill show how we are in those aspect that's why teachers have the obligation to perform activities that students can develop this skill. for example: activities in peers, presentations, interviews and so on.  Functions of speaking Talk as interactions : it means "conversation" when people share greeti

Chapter 3 In this module we are going to do the hypothesis of our research, so we have to know what this term really means in order to get the right result of what we want to prove. A hypothesis is a tentative, testable aswer to a scientific question, once a scientific has a scientific question, it is interested in, as  researchers, we have to find out what is already known on the topic. Then we use that information to form a tentative answer to the question. Sometimes people refer to the tentative answer as "an educated guess." Keep in mind, though, that the hypothesis also has to be tentable since the next step is to determine whether or not the hypothesis is right. The most commom form of hypothesis are: Simple hypothesis Complex hypothesis Emperical hypothesis Logical hypothesis  Alternative hypothesis. Then to do the hypothesis we have to do the variables that they are getting of the hypothesis, but what is a variable? a variable is something that

Research Design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in procedure.     Research Design: Experimental: It deals with determining cause and effect relationship. It is typically in form of experiment. in causal research design, attempt is made to measure impact of manipulation on independent variables with dependent variables.

Expectations about this class. I know that this class is so fundamental for our carreer as teachers, we have to be prepared for each level of English teaching, so it is a requirement for us to be efficient by working with kids, youngs, and adults that's why we need to know the right methodology and methods to use for developing a good class, I hope to know the right strategies of how to implement the 4 macro skills, and how to do a class that catch the attetion in the students for they can get the knowledge without any problem.  Teaching listening and speaking  Listening: is receiving language through the ears.

TEACHING LISTENING Listening as comprehension is the traditional way of thinking about the nature of listening. indeed, in most methodology manuals listening and listening comprehension are synonymous. this view of listening is based on the assumption that the main function of listening. In second language learning is to facilitate understanding of spoken discourse. Some activities to develop the listening skill as well as the speaking skill in the class are: 1.Dual dictation: in pairs students should be able to write a dialogue about a specific topic, student A speaks and the student B writes down what they are going to say, and vice versa. in this activity both skill is develop listening and writing. 2. Group story telling: teachers have to divide the class in group, in each group should be a leader in which will tell a short story. then each students will share their points of view about the story- 3.
