Suggestopedia Method

 



Have you ever heard about this language teaching method? If not, don't worry, we will explain you.

First, what are the goals objectives of the teachers using this method?

The most important goal of teacher who use this method is to motivate and accelerate more the students’ mental potential to learn the target language to use it in daily communication. That is why the teacher must remove the psychological barriers that students bring with them so that they are able to receive knowledge of the target language.  

Second, what are the roles that both teacher and student play in this method? 

The role of the teacher is to create situations in which learners are most suggestible and then to present linguistic material in a way most likely to encourage positive reception and retention by learners. The students should have faith in the system and accept that they are in a childlike situation where they follow the teacher / parent . The students should not be critical, but simply absorb what is presented to them. If students are relaxed and confident, they will not need to try hard to learn the language.

It will just come naturally and easily.

Third, what are some characteristics of the teaching-learning process?

a)   The teaching- learning process of this method  is centered in the students. 
b)   The learning climate is established that is free from anxiety and cooperation within the group is perceived as supportive. 
c)   The consciously designed learning environment, consisting, for example, of a bright, cheerfully decorated room, flowers, and a seating order which allows eye-contact among learners as well as maximum freedom of mobility is designed to increase the joy of learning and to create a positive learning environment. 
d)   The student is able to practice the material in a playful manner in order to be able to apply it freely and creatively in new contexts. 
e)    These exercises are designed to promote learning through life-like contexts.

Flipped Learning

Would you like to know what flipped learning consists of? In simple words, it is a pedagogical method in which the teacher transfers certain learning processes outside the classroom. In this work outside the classroom, students commonly watch and analyze videos or any other material on the topic that the teacher will teach in the next lesson. In this way, students will already have knowledge about the next class and the teacher will have the facility to achieve the objectives set in it. Now we present you some benefits that this method brings with it: 1) This method helps the teacher to spend more time with most of the students in the classroom. 2) This method gives the teacher the opportunity to share more knowledge with the students and provide feedback on the knowledge. 3) Creating a friendly and collaborative environment in the classroom is one of its great benefits. 4) In one way or another, it involves the students' families in the learning process. 😊📘

Active Learning

Have you ever heard of active learning? For those who did not know it, active learning is a learning method that basically consists of the continuous participation of students in the classroom and that contributes favorably to the process of acquiring objective knowledge, or in this case the target language. Or according to Richard M. Felder and Rebecca Brent (2016) in their essay "Active Learning" they mention that this method is based on short activities related to individual courses that are done in small groups, where all students in a class are called upon to do , alternating with instructor-led intervals in which student responses are processed and new information is presented.

Digital Literacies

Currently, most students are not trained in new technologies and see a great obstacle to use them to carry out different activities that take place in the classroom, and this clearly influences their low learning process since they feel frustrated. Likewise, the little training of teachers in ICT causes misuse of these, and students may feel confused and not be able to achieve the planned objectives.    This resistance affects their understanding since students currently use these new technologies in leisure time and not to study. They consider that cell phones and laptops are used only to play and have fun. All this is a problem for the teacher since he will have to innovate by creating new strategies to capture the attention of the student and make them not feel so confused. Finally, some strategies that we would propose would be good training for both students and teachers about ICT so that they can use them properly and students can reach the learning objectives of each cl...
