1 I Think that in the CNC is implemented ESL with primary because students learn the general English, they need to feel comfortable in different school contexts. For high school students is implemented EFL because they learn and use English only in their English class, in the other subjects they don't need to use it so their motivation to learn the language is lower.

2. Sometimes it may be necessary because some students do not understand the instructions and feel frustrated or withdrawn from the activities.

3. The main obstacle is to achieve intrinsic motivation so that the student understands that he/she can use English in all activities and contexts.

4.I always try to propose activities that are very attractive and close to my students, so that the vocabulary I implement can be more attractive to them.

5.As a sports teacher I am in contact with many cultures that share the sport, in my case I practice many sports (Bmx, crossfit, cycling) where there are many terms in English, so I am constantly learning vocabulary about the human body and movements.

1. I think that in the school is implemented the EFL, but we also use some ideas of ESL. Specially when we are in the school, we try to motivate the students to use some words or short sentences of english out of the clasroom.
2. The mother tongue in the clasroom is for the students a secure place, it helps them to understand and clarify new concepts.
3. One obstacle is that the students get frustrated when they don't understand english. Also, in this time at home, other obstacle is  that we are trying to engaged them with english explanations, but there is someone at home translating or just saying in spanish and they could get distracted.
4. I deal with these obstacles through dialogue, helping the students to be relaxed and know that learning a new language is a process, that we can fall down but we can get up again. And giving clear explantions, also in mother tongue if it is necessary, and making it through and interesting way for students.
5.  Motivating them to ask some basic needs in english and to answer also in this language with simple words, I also recommend them to watch videos and listen to music in english. When we are in school I use english to give instructions or also to ask basic questions to my students when we are in break or other spaces.
6. Out of school I use to watch movies in english, listen to music, I also make some courses by my own or attend to some webinars. Also, every week I have a meeting online with my british cousins, so I speak with them in english and they also help me to improve my skills.

1. I don’t know how the process is in elementary school but  in high school the CNC applies the ESL because is English is taught by skills and grammar is not the focus of class the use language to communicate something using what they learnt.

2. If students try to use the mother tongue, they won´t be able to learn new vocabulary or even they get used to using expressions in Spanish instead of English. They could not represent what they said  in Spanish to English.
3. The main obstacle is the students´ motivation  and shyness ‘students because there are some who are pretty smart but they do not like participate.
4. First of all I try to observe the group and explore the type of activities that they would like, so I do an activity If do not get any answer , I create a different activity  that involves another skill, sometimes I have several activities and they choose according to their preferences.
5.  When they send a podcast giving their opinion on a situation, when I encourage them to watch movies without subtitles but the audio in English. I try to encourage them to think in english when we learn a new topic.
6. I try to attend to speaking classes, I watch and listen to videos with different accents, I enjoy listening to pop music, or sometimes I listen to podcasts depending on my mood.

1. I think that the methodology we implement is ESL, but  most of the students practice ELF. Some of them use English in their classes, but in Spanish in the other activities.
2. The students understand some topics, more participation of some children who feel scared to speak in English.
3. spaces where students see it necessary to speak in English, outside the classroom. even at home they don´t practice it.
4. I try to talk about things they like (sports, hobby, music, weekend activities).
5. I try to talk to some friends in English, play video games where I practice, read some news, talk to myself in English (to indicate things I have to do).

# data[].attributes.body
From my point of view the school is more focused on EFL teaching, because the context of the students is not predominantly English.

The difference between ESL and EFL Reflection.

1. The bilingual process at CNC is based on EFL ideas, because of the use of English. They are not native English speakers which means their aproach to the language must be guided taking into account that.
2. For some students, Spanish language is a useful tool for them to clarify their ideas and concepts, however, there are few students that only wr the time I will use Spanish for them to start doing the activity. In that way, I think the use of Spanish language hasto be a little more restrictive in classroom.
3. Talking about motivation is talking about different students attending to a single concept. Sometimes, Students' English level slow the process down and it forces me to do focus only on certain motivation tools, like games. Presenting a video about a phenomenon is not that useful because they don't even try to understand it.
4. When I want to present a new phenomenon, I present a video that is just the phenomenon without explanation in order to ask them about it. Try to get them to explain their ideas about. When the motivation is a game, I encorage the game by narrating changes in the scoreboard.
4. I use two different moments. One is about speaking and it is explanations. I ask them for explanations, hypothetical situations regarding the topic we are studying, basically inquirying.
The other moment is writing, in which is the moment for them to place their ideas in their notebooks.
5. I am starving for POP culture so I am consuming it all the time. Pop culture comes basically from English speaking countries so it helps a lot. For my master, I hae to check tons of information form British and USA data bases. Unfortunately I do not have the opportunity to speak on my daily basis outside the school.

1. Considero que la institución   ha implementado  el    ESL, promoviendo el inglés en distintos contextos y familiarizando a los mas pequeños con este idioma en varias materias.

2. Pienso que es necesario, usar la lengua materna dentro del aula, entendiendo que son chiquitos que inician su formación y necesitan dia a día tener un mayor número de palabras y fluidez verbal tanto en español como inglés.

3. Algunos de los obstáculos podrian ser el tiempo corto de las sesiones y la ayuda constante de los padres, que se hace evidente dentro de las clases y/o actividades.

4. Priorizar temas y actividades y promover la honestidad y autonomía en los estudiantes.

4. Durante las sesiones intento motivarlos a compartir  canciones en inglés, brindarles el espacio para que interactuen entre ellos ademas de poner en contextos los temas vistos, asociandolos con el entorno y cosas sencillas del hogar.

5.  En ocasiones con mi familia y especialmente en mis estudios.

1.I think that  at the CNC  implemets EFL because students use english inside the school but only a few  outside the school
2. I think it is necesary to make some clear contents, it is a help for students that dot not use the english.
3. Students don´t have that inytrinsic motivation they see  it as a requeriment.
4.It is necessary to show of english as a culture and to promote this idea inside the  families
5.Allowing them to find something of their interest  that they can share in class

1. I think our students are more similar to the example of the Korean girl than the Vietnamese boy in their second language acquisition process, so I think the learning process in our school is similar to that of EFL English. Our students do not necessarily need English to be able to function socially.

2. Students know that when they can use their mother tongue in class, it is not indispensable to apply the language they are learning, since in the social context in which they develop, all or most of them can solve problems in their mother tongue without the need of, in this case, English.

3. the inherent need to learn the language out of necessity or a personal objective that motivates them.

4. Inviting him/her to develop in social contexts that are to his liking and that require English.

5. I use it with my closest friends who also speak the language, to talk and joke around without the other people understanding what we are talking about. That's hilarious

# data[].attributes.body
We are teaching English as a foreign language, Students  don´t need to speak in english outside of classroom. In  my opinion, we have EFL.
2.
I´m sure that if we use our mother tongue, Students might think that they have the oppotunity to express themselves in that language as well.
3. Students don´t have an environment where they need to speak English. They don´t face a real challege.
4. in our class we have a space to show what we have done, they try to explain it in English.
5. I think that i have to find new strategies because they don´t have the opportunity to speak in English in my field apart or classroom.
6.
I always watch movies in English trying to improve my listening.

1. I reckon we are implementing different characteristics of both ESL and EFL at CNC. However, I think we have more characteristics from EFL, considering the students are not using the English on their daily basis, but mainly at school.
2. First of all, we have to take into account that our students are not using the second language most of the time, and they have prior knowledge that they have acquired using their mother tongue. Consequently, I reckon this makes necessary to use part of mother tongue when teaching, in order to be sure students are learning the topics in a successful way, and the language too.
3. I think one of the main obstacles is the fact students find the second language a little difficult for them, so this creates a barrier when learning new topics, causing them some frustration. Other posible obstacle is my learners have different interests, they like different things, and that diversity could be difficult to work with if I want to reach general goals with all of them.
4. When they have the language barrier, I try to motivate them by helping them with words that can complement their ideas, or giving them the possibility to mix the two languages in order to explain what they want to. Also, I try to relate the topics with some stuff I know they like, such as videogames, books, memes in social media, and so on.
5. I try to give them the opportunity to share experiences and stories they want the rest of us know, so this makes possible they think about their personal experiences relating them to the use of a second language. On the other hand, it's difficult to do it in the virtual classes, but when we are at school, I try to use the second language with my group during the whole day, so they understand the English is not only for their classes, but they can use it out of the classroom too.
6. I have some personal reading exercises using the second language, at the same time I am listening to news in English, in order to practice it permanently. In some cases, I try to speak in English at home, so my roommates try to use it with me.

1. I consider that at CNC is implement EFL because not all the classess are in english in that way students just use the second language during their classes and also thier live not in a foreing country so they don't have to learn mandatory the second lenguage to express thier ideas.

2. I think that it helps the student to understand some topics but I think that it's much better when they know that all time teacher uses it to encourage them to uses it in the lessons.
3. As I told before when teacher uses spanish at lessons it let the kids to use it and probably they don't effort to use the second language so the instrisic motivation that is the most difficult to develop in a student so I used the external motivation by using different tools to encourage the kids using the second language.
4. By understanding the students process and which are the level and also the course goals I try to  create activities where each child have the opportunity to develop differet skills.
5. I improve my English taking an English course beacuse I know that I have some grammar mistakes and as a English teacher I have to work on that. I try to watch movies or series in English at home.

The difference between ESL and EFL Reflection.

# data[].attributes.body
1. At the CNC english is implemented as EFL or ESL? Why?
In my opinion there are a little bit of both approaches in school. For instance in CES we tend to plan and develop our classes following a ESL model and we encourage our students (specially the ones who are in the bilingual project from 1st grade to 4th grade) to use the Second language in different situations outside the classroom. On the other hand I could say that we also have the EFL approach in the school in the way that our students are monolingual and they live in their own country, so they don't have to use the second language outside the classroom.
2. What are the implications of using our mother tongue in the classroom?
It's a matter of motivation, basically. If students don't find English as something useful in their lives or if we as teachers don't produce several challenges and activities that are appealing to their interests, students will find that it's easier just to remain speaking their mother tongue. Moreover, all the activities designed for the classes must have a balance between being interesting for students but also not being too cognitively challenging to manage in English.
3. Which have been the main obstacles when trying to foster students' motivation?
Trying to find activities that  engage them into their likes and favorite activities without being too challenging to handle in the second language. Also,  creating speaking opportunities that can show them other uses for the language outside the classroom.
3. Based in the answer provide before, how do you deal with those obstacles?
I always try to create a wide range of activities that involve the students into speaking and also try to show then trough games and different websites how can they use the language to learn new things ,communicate with kids in other parts of the world or even learn about history or culture in foreign countries.
4. How do you provide students the opportunity to use their english level in different fields apart form the classroom?
Envolving them into extra curricular activities like gaming, watching some youtubers in English, surfing different websites that can show them and make them interact with kids from other parts of the world, and finally, via movies and entertainment in the second language.
5. How do you (as teacher) use the English language  outside from school?
I use it almost every day to inform myself (reading newspapers, watching news and information bulletins) also for my entertainment (movies, music, literature) and finally for my professional development.

1. According to the article that we read, the CNC shool implements EFL due to the fact that students have the chance to interact in English in class but out of class they don't live in an country in which their second languge is neede it for surviving.
2. Usually, the mother tongue is use for understanding and clarifying ideas. It does have an effect in term of students reaching and understanding of the importance of constant practice of the second languages but it also solidifies knowledege that probably didn't got through.
3. Accoridng to the article it says that when in a EFL environment the intrinsic motivitation is less than in a ESL environment. So, the main obstacle is to make the practice of English meaningful enough for it to become something important for their daily lives.
4. By letting them express any type of opinions and emotions regards the topic and their personal life. I insis on the fact their opinions, feelings and knowledge are important.
5. By giging them the space to send podcast of them and their classmates talking. Using forums.
6. I use it wit my friends, everything that I read I do it in English. Everything that I watch and listen is in English.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I think that we implement EFL because we try to use the English in all moments and in all of our classes, but the students doesn’t have the opportunity to improve the language in another context different to the school.
2.  It depends and this could be less effective in the english process, because the students could think that speak English is not necessary or maybe that if they speak spanish the teacher will answer also in spanish, so they couldn´t feel motivated to speak in english
3. I think that most of us use the intrinsic motivation for prepare our class, and we need maximize fluency practice, getting the students to use the language as much as possible in class. Its´s so important use the prioritization activities.  But the obstacles could be the methodology that we used, because if it not is the appropriate the students never will feel motivated
4. I try to do interactive activities  for teaching the topics and also for me is important involve the students in the process, in the text they give us some examples and I use specifically the crossword and puzzles game, I always try to relate the concept with a game or a interactive activity, I think that is better for the kids if they have a motivation for understand the topic and also always I try to do funny my classes
4. I always invite them to watch movies or series in English, and also to listen music in English, in my classes I also invite the parents to speak in English with them, obviously short sentences or bassicly vocabulary
5. I usually practice the same recommendations that I mentioned before, I try to listen music in English and watch series or movies in English with subtitles in English. In some opportunities I also try to speak in english trought WA with mi cousin who lives in USA

1. I think at CNC school we use ESL because students are learning a second language through another class, but they do not use this second language in their daily life. Moreover, at school we tried to have more interaction in English to promote the use of a second language.
2. When students use their mother tongue, the intrinsic motivation is down because they think it is unnecessary to speak in the second language, then, they do not put into practice all learned.
3. Students have an obstacle by themselves because they think that they can not use English alone, then, they are using frequently more mother tongue than the second language.
4. I allow my students to use a mix between mother tongue and second language, so, students use structure learned in English class with the vocabulary learning with me.
5. When I am teaching Social studies the local context does not help to use a second language because if I want to talk about history I will use more my mother tongue than another language, but I try to identify general ideas that students can use in all context.
e.g. Democracy, geographical features.
6. I am in the process to improve my reading and listening, then I follow mass media in English to have information about international information about sports, politic, health, etc. Moreover, I listen descriptions of the news from this mass media.

1. At the CNC english is implemented as EFL or ESL? Why?
Rta: At CNC we work to implement an ESL model, in which the different areas work from their contexts with the area's own terminology in English, with local and global examples and from a shared position.
2. What are the implications of using our mother tongue in the classroom?
Rta: If it is used hand in hand with the second language, it can contribute to relate the contents more directly and easily
3. Which have been the main obstacles when trying to foster students' motivation?
Rta: Mostly to make them see that learning and mastering a second language is vital in this globalized world that requires people capable of communicative skills
4. Based in the answer provede before, how do you deal with those obstacles?
Rta: Through the didactic tools that I use mainly in English and contextualizing the problems seen on a much broader scale, it can be taught that the world has a large number of important processes and that to know them we need to enter into that global dynamic and logically speak a language les us
5. How do you provide students the opportunity to use their english level in different fields apart form the classroom?
Rta: Sometimes I invite they to look for more information on a topic that requires it or I leave you information so that you can consult mainly in English
6. How do you (as teacher) use the English language  outside from school?
Rta: Mostly presenting projects for international support, but also in more everyday spaces such as watching series, movies, conferences and video games.

1. At the CNC is a little controversial because the school tends to have the ESL Method, but when we look into the children, they did not apply this method because outside of the classroom, they return to their mother tongue. So, I have to say that at the school we have two methods. ESL because we interestingly teach English and we are not just following grammar rules, and EFL because the children did not use the language at 100% outside of the classroom.
2. The implications of using the mother tongue sometimes are positive because they feel more comfortable with some misunderstandings. Even though when they are not able to use a second language they come back to the first to make them understand the idea.
3. We can see that some schools are just interesting that the students learn a grammar box and that's all they do not prepare for the life how they can use that English in a real situation. I think that CNC focuses on that students can communicate the idea that is the most important thing.
4. Making the students understand that English is more than a simple language. That they can travel and understand other thinkings in the world and also present English as something to learn and no complicates since a dynamic way.
5. I always emphasize that they should use their English in their simple things, like watching T.V, listening to music even though that if they play a game on the computer or console put it in English and they will be more involved with the language.
6. I watch my series in English and also I have a group of friends that every Saturday we make like a speaking club to practice.

# data[].attributes.body
1. At the CNC, English is implemeted as EFL, because the students and their environmet is not in English all the time. They can find Spanish everywhere.
2. The implications of using our mother tongue in the classroom are about processes. When we include Spanish, the students feel more relaxed about the language and dont' make any effort to improve their own process.
3. The main obstacle I find when trying to foster students' motivation is that the students don't believe in their own abilities, so they feel scared or shy when participating.
4. I provide students the opportunity to use their English level in different fields apart form the classroom, when they are around the school and I give instructions or answer their questions in English. I play games during the recess and they need to use English to participate.
5. Outside from the school I always try to interact with tha language by listening to music, watching movies or reading books. I think that if I keep interacting with the language, I can give the best always to my students.

1. At CNC we work with two different groups. In the primary, we use ESL due to students are in contact with the second language in more than an English class but the rest of the students don't, so for them, EFL is implemented

2. When using their mother tongue in class, students may feel that is not necessary for them to try to understand English because they can wait to receive the information in Spanish but also could be an option to facilitate the process to students and avoid rejection in students with some English difficulties.
3. Each student has a different context, hobbies, opportunities, and lifestyles.  As a teacher I try to motivate my students to participate in different activities and to foster intrinsic motivation; however, some of them have or don't have the extrinsic motivation and that affects their view in front the use and importance of English.
4. I remember to my students that everyone in the class, even me, is learning and the class is the best place to make mistakes, to be corrected, and to try again.
5. I just suggest them to listen to music, podcast and to watch movies in English and I do that.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I think we are trying to implement an ESL project, but we are not in that stage yet, because our students don't use English outside the classrooms.
2. I think it is related with motivation, it could affect the intrinsic motivation as long as you can use Spanish, in this case to make others to understand your ideas, instead of pushing you to use and learn English.
3. Sometimes schools do not take into account the motivation profile of the students. Not everyone has the same aims when learning English and this is why some methods work for some students, but not for others.
4. I try to understand from where is the fear of using English of my student coming, encouraging them to participate and face those fears. Also I ask them what kind of activities they enjoy the most and try to apply them as much as possible.
4. I don't provide this opportunities to my students yet.
5. I try to watch my favorite series or programs in
English, sometimes I have to use subtitles, but I try not to do it.

1- EFL is the language approach implemented at CNC since students do not have chances outside their class to practice English.

# data[].attributes.body
2- As extrinsic motivation is the one we EFL teachers should mostly trigger in our students, appealing to L1 would somehow broaden the class possibilities to practice the foreign language. Thus, avoiding L1 use at all costs results in more practice for students.

3- The very first obstacle one can have in terms of motivation in an EFL class is the limited time for using the language (only at school). Additionally, as students do not need the target language to survive in communicative situations, because the can use their L1, learning the FL is not seen as a priority.

4- I manage to trigger motivation in my students every class by:

- Discussing the advantages they get when speaking the FL in a globalized world.
- Mentioning the English importance in several contexts.
- Providing class rewards when having good performances.
- Publicly acknowledging their performances.
- Exploring different cultural possibilities that are open when knowing the language such as traveling the world without language barriers.

5- I often ask my students to apply and contrast what they've learnt in class in different contexts. So for example when it comes to pronunciation, I ask them to analyze and compare the sounds we have practiced in class with a movie they watched at home or a song they listen to.
Besides, I give them external tools to be exposed to English, named applications, websites and tips for learning the language.

6- I always watch TV shows and movies in English and no subtitles (pretty useful).
I sometimes chat with foreign people in English.
I read some news in English.
I am sometimes asked to make formal translations.

1. I have been able to identify that ESL is implemented in elementary school with the bilingual project, but in the basic  and middle grades  students are more familiar with EFL.

2. Regarding the understanding of knowledge, it is relevant that students have an appropriation of the Info, for that mother tongue is used as a tool of comprehension

3. Students don't use the second language outside of class, so they don't feel relevant the ESL in their daily life

4. For that reason I think that the school have to be programs that help to the student to be closer with the language. like events, streamings, connection with other schools .

4. In business process we review differentes contexts not just entrepreneurships context, it is necessary review political, economic , technological, social and financial contexts to understand what is about entrepreneusrhip.

5. As a business teacher I be in contact with financial information and advances in technology through readings and documentaries an try to participate in some events where I can to listen experts and visonaries
