Hey there!

We are the London Bridge Team and that is how we are going to work:

Ángel- Age

Tina- Attitude and motivation

We hope you like it!

Lots of love,
London Bridge Team.

Pooling all the ideas and interpretations that we had all read about age and language acquisition helped me to reinterpret some of the ideas I had and to be able to explain them better to my own group.

Regarding the law of multilingualism, I find it really useful to delve into this kind of content as future teachers, as it is very practical and enriching information.

Unfortunately, I was unable to attend class.

In my opinion, it was a very creative class. Firstly, in groups we did a series of "games" in which we had to organise concepts correctly; the more correct answers, the more marks we got for the final grade. During the second part of the class, we organised ourselves as a group for the preparation of the creative video.

I find the way of learning knowledge through dynamic group activities very interesting. I think it's a very creative way of establishing new knowledge in the students.

There was a discussion in class about our opinion regarding to second language acquisition related to motivation, age and aptitude. This made me realize that the majority of us did not have the same opinions about the topic, on whether motivation influences the improvement of the language acquisition or if learning a language is more effective the younger you are and so on.

This class was interesting because after reading the paragraphs of the books, you realize many misconceptions that we had about second language acquisition.

I was unable to attend this class as I was working, so I can not provide any feedback about this session.

I really liked today's session because it was very dynamic and active, very different from what we are used to doing in class. It has been a way to put into practice our previous knowledge about the subject while also learning about it. Competitive games and teamwork always make us more focused and attentive to the subject.

I must emphasize that we always get told that as teachers we must find the best methodology to carry our lessons, looking for students motivation and participation, but most of the classes always end up being traditional "read, white, copy and listen". This session has been precisely a class based on an active methodology and this, not only makes us all participate and be more attentive to the subject, but also makes the learning more meaningful and lasting (long-term memory).

There was no class as we had a seminar.

In this class, we were supposed to talk about the topics we had read at home in order to become more experts on it. Unfortunately, my classmates had not done the questions, therefore they were not able to help me, however, we talked and at the end (with the help of the teacher) I was able to understand what I had not understood before and explain it to my teammates.

This class was interesting, because we had to write a questionnaire in order to pass it to our big group so that they would show us their worries about foreign language learning and so that we could see how they think about some statements. Unfortunately, my teammates were not able to come to the session, but I e-mailed them the form and they read it and gave me their approval.

During this class we learnt about different teaching methods. It was interesting because I did not know about all of them. I was assigned a group to carry out an activity about the Notional-Functional method, which is actually quite fun to do.
We learnt about the parts of a method like the design, the procedure and the techniques.
I must say that working in teams motivates me and I get to memorise everything better, I don’t know why, but it just makes the lesson much more interesting.

This class was very interesting and fun, because at first we did some activities in a kind of competition in groups where by getting the answers right, we got some extra credits. In the second part of the class we gathered with out teams in order to organise our ideas for the video.
I really enjoyed this class because of the methodology used and how it engaged all of the students, promoting participation and motivation.

In this session we got assigned new working teams with whom we will be preparing a lesson to teach in other group, each team using a different method. In order to know how to do this, we learnt about them, I found this very interesting because I did not know all of them and I think it is important to completely understand the different teaching methods so that in the time when we are in a classroom as teachers we will be able to make the classes as motivating and fun as possible.

The most interesting part of this session was the second one, where we watched all the videos and assessed our classmates. It was fun watching them and, although it was a bit hard to assess them, I think it gave us the opportunity to "act as teachers" and have a different point of view of our classmates' work and even of our own, by comparing the videos.

During today's class, I could highlight the way that the class has been carried out by being divided into three activities. The first one was yo continue with an activity in group, in the the second part of the class we played a kahoot where we could demonstrate our knowledge learnt during previous classes. I was impressed by this as my team won and I wasn't aware of how much theory I knew about different teaching methods.
In the final session, we watched our videos that we had made about age, attitude and motivation. It was fun to see my classmates creativity for this project.

A part that I didn't enjoy was correcting my classmates with the rubric as I would love to give them good marks and it is quite difficult to be critical towards them. However, it's something I must do as I will have to do this in the future with my students.

Overall, I am enjoying the course this year. I am improving, learning and obtaining knowledge in a dynamic way which makes me think of how I wish to teach when I become a teacher. As I am a person who can occasionally struggle with concentration for long periods of time, it is  interesting to make the learning process fun through games and figuring out the answers or possible outcomes ourselves instead of simply studying theory. This also helps to memorise what we learn by putting it into practice.

There will be no classes today because we have a seminar

In today's session, we had to make a presentation in front of students from another class about the answers to the questionnaire they gave us a few weeks ago. In my case, public speaking at conferences or exhibitions is something I do not usually like doing because I feel embarrassed and I get very nervous.

But this time, I actually quite liked it because everyone was silent and paying attention to what we were saying and explaining.

Obviously to prepare the classes we had to make some research and read about some factors that interfere in the teaching and learning of a foreign language, so usually when this happened you are always afraid that you might forget something, but the truth is that everything went very well and it was a satisfying experience for me.

I have to say that working with my group made it easier, as I feel very comfortable with them.

I was unable to attend this class as I was in England with my family.
I wish I could have been in this session, there is nothing more fun than doing a class or activities with your classmates but I also would have liked to see if everything was designed as well or if there were things that we did not take into account to do so in the following activities.
