I personally think that the use of technology is a great tool for the development of any activity.

This is why I would choose Audio or video recording of lessons.

ADVANTAGES
- Actual events are captured and not subjective impressions.
- When recording the lesson, you can choose the focus (teacher or students).
- The recording can be replayed and examined many times and can capture many details of a lesson.
- Class recordings which are kept for later use, can give a valuable insight into an individual teacher's growth in experience over years.

DISADVANTAGES
- If you don't have the right technology to record, it can be frustrating.
- The setup of recording and sound equipment can be time consuming.

For action research I think that topic b: (You are very conscientious about planning your lessons, but somehow, they never seem to go according to plan. You rarely have time to get through all the material that you had planned. You want to find out why this is happening) would be appropriate, since precisely in action research it is sought to solve those doubts that one has when not obtaining the results in a planned class, increasing the teacher's understanding and classroom learning.

Overcrowding in schools

I am going to talk to you about a topic that is keeping teachers in concern today in Colombia. According to studies carried out in Colombia, they determined that one of the biggest concerns that teachers had is overcrowding in classrooms.

We know that it is a reality that teachers face and that is having an approximate of 40 to 45 students in the classroom.

The problem occurs because within the classroom there are mostly students with a high degree of vulnerability and this creates great challenges.

The more students there are in the classroom, the more difficult it is to detect the special educational needs that each student requires.

In our country, we have highly trained teachers and we know that this problem must largely be managed through government policies.

For this reason, I want to conclude that we teachers must prepare ourselves to face all the inconveniences that arise and we must improve the planning of the class so that we can successfully reach each of our students.

You have been experimenting with a process approach for teaching writing (i.e., one in which you encourage students to go through a number of stages when completing a writing task, from planning to drafting to reviewing and revising). You want to find out if students actually find this approach useful and whether they use it on writing assignments outside of class.

Knowing facts that happen outside of class is a difficult task, as well as knowing students` behavior and attitudes or the effectiveness of an approach. Gathering this information may become an extensive task. So, I consider that the best option for gathering information about it is through surveys and questionnaires since these procedures are useful when participants cannot be directly observed. These procedures allow teachers to gather information in a systematic, structured and quick way through self-report of interviewees, in order to uncover the story behind a participant’s experiences and pursuing in-depth information around a topic. This procedure allows teachers to gather information in a quantitative (questionnaire) and qualitative (interview). The questionnaire is based on the interest in individual response and reflection, which characterizes the knowledge of the object of study. The interview is based on influencing people's behavior, opinions or feelings to make conclusions about the object of study.

Advantages

Speed of data collection

Inexpensive

Control over the types of information that they receive

Unbiased and truthful answers.

Practical

Fast result

Comparability

Easy analysis

Disadvantages

Dishonest answer

Unreliable and deceptive information

Grown interpretations

Action research is based on investigating, analyzing and diagnosing problems through a variety of methods in order to give solutions to the problem identified. Then, I consider that in the action research process we can use any approach mentioned before. However, it is important to take into account the problem investigated to choose the best. Taking into account the situation (e) I consider that we can use surveys and tests because it uses not only allow us collet data but also analyze them at the same time that we observe specific behaviors.

I think that the most appropriate procedure to study the following situation “You are concerned about one of your students who always avoids sitting near the front of the class. This student seems to be paying attention, but rarely participates actively in lessons. You are not sure why. Since you have a large class, it is difficult for you to monitor individual students. You want to find out what this student's attitude is toward the class” is surveys and questionnaires, since through the surveys and questionnaires we can know the individual learning of the students to later compare it and take the necessary measures regarding the approaches, methods, didactic practices and materials taken by the teacher, perhaps the student does not participate in class because their learning style does not go according to the methodology exposed by the teacher

Surveys and questionnaires
Advantages

· student characteristics are better known

· provides significant data

· reliability of the data provided, as it is directly provided by the students
· greater precision in data

Disadvantages
· students don't always answer surveys honestly
· questions can be interpreted differently

I think that in reality, in all situations, it would be appropriate to formulate action research, since it covers many aspects to collect information such as surveys, teaching journals, lesson reports, among others; Because to carry out a true and important change of aspects to improve a class, the following steps must be kept in mind, first knowing the aspects that have shortcomings in the classroom, then planning the process of collecting the shortcomings, acting against these problems of the best way, observe the changes and reactions to the new methodologies of change and finally, reflect on the situation presented

Bearing in mind each of the situations presented in the document "Approaches to Research in the Classroom in Teaching" where simple procedures are presented as tools to help teachers investigate teaching in the classroom; I consider that the most pertinent would be the Teaching Journal since it allows us to analyze the progress and difficulties that students have with the development of their competences, since they summarize writings about their participation, feelings, emotions and interpretations; that is, it records the personal experience of each student throughout their learning.

Advantages of the Teaching Journal

- An account of the student's experiences and how it relates to learning of concept and processes is observed.

- It sensitizes the student to their way of learning.

- Allows colleagues to share their diaries and meet frequently to discuss them.

- Observe and analyze the student's academic, attitudinal and skills process.

- It promotes metacognition, communication and writing.

- It enables students to synthesize their thoughts, actions and compare them.

- It sensitizes the student to their way of learning.

- It is possible to carry it out in different situations (individual, group, debate, projects)

- You can synthesize thoughts and acts and compare them with subsequent ones.

Disadvantages of the Teaching Journal

- Large amount of recorded information.

- The information presented can be exhaustive.

- Time by the teacher for self-evaluation.

- The student's time to record their activities.

As we well know in the 21st century, technology has a great influence on people's lives, it is present in all areas, since it is a tool that facilitates the obtaining of processes and knowledge, therefore educational eccenaries must go hand in hand with these kinds of advances and tools. The implementation of ICTs in the classroom is truly significant since it allows the interaction between teacher and student, for this the teacher must be clear about the correct movement and application so that they can be used in the best way, also the teachers Foreign languages ​​must aim to train people not only in semantic and pragmatic terms, but also reflective, critical people, with autonomy capable of generating changes in society through the integration of ICTs as an effective instrument in relation to what to do pedagogically; For this reason, I consider as a future teacher that it is pertinent to strengthen skills and competences in terms related to the understanding and interpretation of messages (oral-written) as a dynamic and interactive medium and at the same time with the production of significant knowledge where the interaction between teacher-student; student-student using technological tools to exploit their potential and in turn generate knowledge in the foreign language. I consider that it is necessary to develop pedagogical proposals that are different from the traditional one whose purpose is to enhance reading, listening, writing and oral comprehension in the English language, it is important to emphasize the role played by the English language teacher whose purpose is to create didactic activities using ICT resources so that students can interact with native speakers or foreign language learners. Finally, the presence of sources of knowledge is significant, such as books that specifically incorporate these topics, specialists interested in the subject and the Internet in order to enrich and strengthen the argumentation of the ideas of using ICTs in teaching. of English. I think that this methodology would be good to keep in mind to present it in a seminar, learn about its applicability and thus obtain benefits in terms of acquiring new learning in the classroom.

You are concerned about your students' attitudes toward English and toward language learning. You try to promote positive attitudes toward learning English. You wish to find out what your students' attitudes are and whether they change throughout the duration of a language course.
Currently the English language is considered the second language in the world since it has a significant number of speakers; It has become "Universal Language" since there is a large amount of scientific, technological and humanistic information where it is necessary to apply this language, which is why the need arises for students of the 21st century to take the initiative to learn and put put this learning into practice.
It is important to implement tools to achieve skills related to comprehension, oral and written expression; therefore, the cognitive and affective networks of the students must be combined through factors such as learning models, motivation, linguistic aptitude, attitudes, personality and age.
In a language course, it is necessary to develop learning strategies in order to improve the progress of students around the skills of the second foreign language by facilitating the internalization, storage and use of the new language; these stand out; cognitive strategies: these refer to the management of compendiums and language material directly (analysis, taking notes, summaries, diagrams, structures); metacognitive strategies emphasize reflecting on learning (own learning style, planning learning tasks, monitoring errors, etc.); memory strategies to relate topics the student memorizes and retrieves information (images, sounds, board, sheet, etc.); affective strategies that have to do with identifying mood and good performance. With the combination of the aforementioned strategies and with the support of other methodologies, students' aptitudes regarding their interest in the foreign language “English” can be improved.
