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. Listening involves identifying the sounds of speech and processing them into words and sentences. It is an interactive process of constructing meaning that involves producing and receiving and processing information.

Speaking: is the art to produce the language. This skill heps us to express what we already know in the language. It is an interactive process of constructing meaning that involves producing and receiving and processing information. Speaking requires that learners not only know how to produce specific points of language such as grammar, pronunciation, or vocabulary, but also that they understand when, why, and in what ways to produce language. Finally has its own skills, structures, and conventions different from written language.

In this module, we are going to see how this 2 important skills work out in a classroom. As we already know both should be developed at the same time. Listening is the main skill to get vocabulary, pronunciation, and so on, Speaking does that students can practice what they have learned. So Listening is the resource of getting information while speaking is the production of  the language. Teachers need to know when and how both skills should be produced with the students.

Session 5  This class was dinamic because the classmates were able to show their class based on the method that had been assigned, I could observe that  some activities involve the most students to participate, so  i really liked some activities. I think that learning process of a second language is a path where is shaped for the right curriculum, activities, homework,  and finally a good method for developing each class as well as a teacher who gives a meaningful teaching.

This is relate to students who have an innate ability of something or we can say a talent of a specific task. for instance, playing the piano or singing songs.
