TASK #4 - INTRODUCTION TO SPEAKING

DESCRIPTION: In this activity we had to watch three videos: one of them talked about some steps we can take in order to learn English. The second one, was about some techniques we can use to learn English better and overcome the fear of speaking. And, the last one explained the language acquisition between children and adults. Moreover, we had to prepare a presentation recorded with the explanation of the 3 videos and summarize them.

# data[].attributes.body

TASK #5 - SPEAKING THEORY

DESCRIPTION: I developed a presentation after reading pages 43 to 64 of the booklet. In the presentation, I internalized and explained each topic covered in those sections. I recorded a video of myself giving the explanation to ensure clarity and engagement. To complement the ideas, I conducted additional research beyond what was mentioned in the booklet, integrating relevant insights. I also included examples to support my explanations and make the concepts more relatable and practical.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that classroom conversations are very important for better learning and improving communication. Moreover, talking helps students think, understand new ideas, and improve reading and writing skills. On the other hand, it is important to mention that good teaching includes activities like small group discussions, clear rules for talking, and real-life speaking tasks. Children and adults learn languages in different ways, so teaching methods should match their needs to help them succeed.

FINAL EXAM - REFLECTIVE BULLETIN BOARD

DESCRIPTION: For my Final Exam, I created an online Reflective Bulletin Board to summarize and reflect on my learning throughout the course. I organized it into sections for each activity, including the topic, delivery date, and details of the tasks completed. For each activity, I reflected on what I learned, the challenges I faced, and how I overcame them. I also included links or attachments for the completed tasks.
