Preentation techniques and Introductory antivities
They are ways used by the teacher
to focus
learner´s attention on the meaning, use and form of the language, when is the first time. Introductory activities are used to
introduce a lesson or a topic.
Some interesting ideas presented on
this unit were about to think about what grammatical structures, new vocabulary, new functional components, lexical
phrases, etc. can be presented on just one class. Choose a context that shows
the meaning of the new language (meaningful), connected with student´s life (personalized) and relevant for
students. Also I
learned that the teacher should consider the learning age, preferences, learning styles, resources available and
if the class focus on the meaning or form.
Let´s clarify some concepts. Warmers are often used to raise student´s energy levels or
make him comfortable before the lesson while lead-ins make a link between the topic of the lesson and the student´s
own life.
Supporting material will help to the teacher to crate the context like pictures,
DVD, CD, and thinking about how the teacher resent the meaning or use of the target
language? In my opinion I will present through a situation because the learner can
create a connection between something new (target language) with something
familiar (situation)

I totally agree that lead-in and warmers help students to feel motivated and interested on learning. For example, lead-in can be related to the topic in order to activate students' schemata at the beginning of a class meanwhile warmers help students to wake up if they are tired and don't want to work or if they are asking for a brake.
ReplyDeleteGood Job Daniel!
Dear Danny
ReplyDeleteI am really agree with you in the last part when you mentioned that supporting materials will help teachers to create context since they can use them to make more understandable for their students. In htin way teachers promote the students' interest and motivation to continue learning.
