The people are culturally diverse and open to everyone, however, they do not count with conventional classrooms. As a bilingual teacher, what would you consider to create a learning environment there?]]> 2023-09-10 16:04:20 UTC https://padlet.com/lindavillarreal/96zs9odcb4h3okzv/wish/2692265415 mamendez6 https://padlet.com/lindavillarreal/96zs9odcb4h3okzv/wish/2704806826 I would consider the fact that their native identity has to be respected by the process of involving them in the second language acquisition. ]]> 2023-09-14 20:27:34 UTC https://padlet.com/lindavillarreal/96zs9odcb4h3okzv/wish/2704806826 mamendez6 https://padlet.com/lindavillarreal/96zs9odcb4h3okzv/wish/2704810330 Approaches for language teaching should consider the linguistic, pragmatic and sociolinguistic aspects that are involved in the use of both languages to design strategies that motivate and facilitate the development of the target language.]]> 2023-09-14 20:32:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lindavillarreal/96zs9odcb4h3okzv/wish/2704810330 Diego https://padlet.com/lindavillarreal/96zs9odcb4h3okzv/wish/2704811548 I would suggest some technologic divises such as computers and tablets. some teachers who can go and visit this school twice a month would be of great help.  they also could make a day in the week to speaking spanish only.
they get to understand that speaking a second language they learn about a new culture]]> 2023-09-14 20:33:07 UTC https://padlet.com/lindavillarreal/96zs9odcb4h3okzv/wish/2704811548 mamendez6 https://padlet.com/lindavillarreal/96zs9odcb4h3okzv/wish/2704815405 Definitly, body language, visual aids, and movement are essential for building an environment; especially in terms of language acquisition.

Another essential aspect is to work on making students feel comfortable when participating in these environments.

The last, but not least, aspect to consider is the role students have in their process: they are the main characters and have to be aware of their own learning path.]]> 2023-09-14 20:38:12 UTC https://padlet.com/lindavillarreal/96zs9odcb4h3okzv/wish/2704815405 mamendez6 https://padlet.com/lindavillarreal/96zs9odcb4h3okzv/wish/2704816342 Avoiding a grammar approach and introduce new topics of interest are key for carrying out the design and implementation of the environment.]]> 2023-09-14 20:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/lindavillarreal/96zs9odcb4h3okzv/wish/2704816342 Dora Osei bonsu https://padlet.com/lindavillarreal/96zs9odcb4h3okzv/wish/2705806509 The fact that they are culturally diverse and opened to everyone will be advisable to teach them using different cultures that will be interesting to them and engaging.
Also the use of body language and also making the class more involving and interesting will be very good.

Example: Verb to be.This can be taught using family and friends to talk about it . "she is my friend".. select one or two students to stand infront of the class and point them out saying "she is my friend" Hug them and add body language and then ask students to tell the class who their friends are using the phrase "she or he is my friend" .This makes the class more engaging and also more student centered.]]> 2023-09-15 12:15:07 UTC https://padlet.com/lindavillarreal/96zs9odcb4h3okzv/wish/2705823499 For accomplish the main goal related to create a suitable enviroment for learning a second language, it is important to have into account the Ss' background in terms of their own culture, to stablish a curriculum based on their needs and make the learning process meaninful for them. ljcastrot https://padlet.com/lindavillarreal/96zs9odcb4h3okzv/wish/2713400024 2023-09-20 19:28:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lindavillarreal/96zs9odcb4h3okzv/wish/2713400024 Focusing on implementing a Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) would be a suitable approach for helping the Ss to achieve the main goal related to learning a SL.
