I think that the concept of ”tinkering school" can be applied to Chilean public classroom. I strongly believe that we as future teachers are able to change student's mind and make then be interested in English. The key issue here is to keep students motivated. I mean, we have to ask or find out the interests of our students because in that way we can mix our classes with their interests. It is very boring when kids are seated looking at the board doing nothing. They feel that they are not part of the class and also they don’t learn anything when classes are monotonous. Just grammar lessons are not interesting for kids.
Also, I think that workshops are interesting too for children at school. Kids get really into these kinds of things because they don’t have to study to get a grade or something like that. Kids just do it because they like it.
In our work experience English is just a workshop where kids learn a lot and they don’t have to study because the teacher is going to grade them. I can see how kids love English because they like it, and they study because they want to learn more. So, I think that doing fun activities like games for example we can motivate our students to learn more about English or any subject.
I believe that we have many options to make kids interested in what we are doing. I mean, we have many resources to find material. So, we can prepare interesting classes for kids. Try it! I strongly believe that we can change that boring classes at school. We just have to think a little bit in our future students and how can we help them to learn more.
Hi Fefa!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great post. I could see how we have learnt in our work experience. The thing is that I totally agree with you, meaningful learning is the key to get the students more interested in study. Playing games and having fun is the best way to mis their tastes with learning!
Byee!
