In the beginning, I realized that children were very active, creative, and curious about the language. In the first place, I noticed that they learned by doing, manipulating objects, watching flashcards, posters, singing, and moving. I have to say that this was challenging for me, due to I used to teach with a passive approach. As long as I understood my learners, I changed my teaching practice, in effect I become an active teacher that enjoys learning thru games and ludic activities.]]> 2022-03-19 14:32:51 UTC https://padlet.com/goveamario83/aoajbj0qy3v63dpf/wish/2103018818 goveamario83 https://padlet.com/goveamario83/aoajbj0qy3v63dpf/wish/2103064932 I think that some benefits for children that learn English as a Second Language are: The development of better vocabulary and comprehension of L1, also they communicate their feelings, ideas, needs and thoughts using L1 and L2.
According to Abbas, I. L. J. M. (2018):  Bilingual children develop stronger skills in their primary language as well as their secondary language.  Bilinguals score higher on average on those types of tests involving creative thinking or problem- solving.

1.- Each student learns in a different way.
2.- Educators must focus on meaningful experiences to reach long-term memory in students.
3.- Create safe learning environments to grant a pleasurable learning experience.
4.- Create activities to foster intrinsic motivation in order to keep learners learning.
5.- Active learning is a key part to solve cognitive conflict.
6.-Promote self-reflection among students turns learning into a meaningful experience for life.   ]]> 2022-03-19 16:06:28 UTC https://padlet.com/goveamario83/aoajbj0qy3v63dpf/wish/2103080173 goveamario83 https://padlet.com/goveamario83/aoajbj0qy3v63dpf/wish/2103089729 I motivate my students showing a good attitude in my classes, also by using different materials that involve the learning styles and channels of perception.

Children discover the world thru their senses and are involved in daily life activities and interactions with others, especially playing. 

Trawick-Smith, J. (2021) explains: "Play at home and in the neighborhood is sufficiently open-ended and child-directed to allow opportunities for social learning; children can choose when and what to play and with whom, and they can terminate play interactions with peers if they wish. School-based play is more limited, and there are several distinct features of school play that can limit social and play development".

(2018) claims five stages:
1.-Pre-production stage.
2.-Primary Production.
3.-Emergence of speech.
4.- Middle Effortlessness.
5.- High Fluency

It is true that every individual learns in different ways and moments, there are many factors that influence the process of language acquisition. Susan, G., & Margo, G. (2018 says:
In acquiring the first language, all the people seem to be successful whereas, people’s success rate in the acquisition of a second language is not the same. Every person stops at different stages of the second language acquisition process because the confidence that people have from the beginning in acquiring the first language is not equally present in their acquisition of the second language. In the acquisition of a second language, psychological and external factors influence the learners’ learning process.

1.- Interact with the children using the language.
2.- Create a positive learning environment.
3.-Give children the opportunity to experience the language.

In other words, if parents get involved in reading time and activities, children will build a learning background.   
Walgermo, Foldnes, Uppstad, & Solheim, 2018 cited by Støle, H., Wagner, Å. K. H., & Schwippert, K. (2020) hold: Parents play an important role in preparing children for learning, not only as providers of resources but also as role models for reading engagement. Parents who enjoy reading may foster the same interest in their children and nurture an emergent positive reader self-concept, associated with high reading achievement in school ().

Spelling is relevant because children acquire vocabulary, structure, meaning and fluency.
Using games to teach children how to spell is a useful tool, children find this strategy funny, interesting, and challenging at the same time that they learn.
Gisckha Hazezlima Aniza, Wulan Wangi, & Wageyono. (2021) explains: Games help language learners to learn a  language and enjoy it at the same time. Children  learn  their  mother  tongue.  Is  the  same  when  they  learn English as a foreign language through playing games where there is no stressful situation  and make  them  can  learn  much  more.  By using a  game,  students will enjoy  a  learning process  which  at  first  makes  them  feel  bored.

This aspect of handwriting plays an important role and is acquired thru practice and maturity. When the teacher or parents identify issues related to handwriting, a diagnosis is necessary to plan strategies and help children to develop handwriting. 
In this podcast, some suggestions to help children with handwriting are mentioned]]> 2022-04-06 02:11:49 UTC https://padlet.com/goveamario83/aoajbj0qy3v63dpf/wish/2131805475 goveamario83 https://padlet.com/goveamario83/aoajbj0qy3v63dpf/wish/2131915828 Language learning in children implies the parents´ roles influence. In my context, most of the time, learning English as a foreign language is seen as unnecessary. Parents argue that learning English is only for those who attempt to live in U.S.A, and children won´t need the language for life. This negative role affects directly the children´s motivation and goals, as consequence, do not find support at home to learn English. On the other side, there are parents that monitor, guide and provide an orientation that opens to children, the opportunity to learn the language.
Related with these roles, Daniel, C. E., Halimi, F., & AlShammari, I. A. (2018), explain:
The active role involves how parents interact with their children with regard to language learning, and can be further categorized as negative and positive. A positive active role would involve parents monitoring their child’s progress in language learning, showing interest, and encouraging success. A negative active role would involve a range of discouraging behaviors, from openly belittling the importance of learning a second language to favoring other areas of learning over languages. The passive role concerns parents’ attitudes to the second-language community.

It is important to center the learning process on the learners and focus on this, avoiding the lessons turning around the teacher instead of the learnes.

Interacting is essential when learning, we are social learners. For this reason, teachers and parents should ensure situations where children interact with others in order to achieve a goal. During this interaction, children learn and appropriate the experience becoming a meaningful learning experience. Some examples of these interactions are Role plays, problem-solving in teams, developing productions in pairs, and participating in art shows or science fairs. ]]> 2022-04-08 19:54:04 UTC https://padlet.com/goveamario83/aoajbj0qy3v63dpf/wish/2136866672 goveamario83 https://padlet.com/goveamario83/aoajbj0qy3v63dpf/wish/2136873876 Learning Objective: Be able to grow and learn through the communication of a language]]> 2022-04-08 20:02:29 UTC https://padlet.com/goveamario83/aoajbj0qy3v63dpf/wish/2136873876 goveamario83 https://padlet.com/goveamario83/aoajbj0qy3v63dpf/wish/2136885373 Communicative is the ability to exchange ideas and thoughts, communicative a valuable quality.

I think that we must give children the opportunity to express their ideas and use the language to understand concepts using different strategies. As teachers, we must consider their prior knowledge learning styles, and channels of perception and motivation. As consequence would help us to engage students, design activities that promote critical thinking, observation, deduction, and interpretation.

Also, when we are teaching, we must be aware of promoting a positive learning environment, the learners' interactions, asking comprehension questions, explaining instructions, use of different materials, and providing feedback]]> 2022-04-08 21:08:04 UTC https://padlet.com/goveamario83/aoajbj0qy3v63dpf/wish/2136924710 goveamario83 https://padlet.com/goveamario83/aoajbj0qy3v63dpf/wish/2136929246 Children learn socializing and teachers must create activities where learners participate in social practices of the language.

Mart, C. T. (2018) explains: Celce-Murcia, Dörnyei, & Thurrell (1995) has proposed a model of communicative competence which has five components: discourse competence is the core of communicative competence and is concerned with “selection, sequencing and arrangement of words, structures and utterances to achieve a unified spoken or written text” (p. 13); linguistic competence is related to basic communication elements involving sentence patterns, lexical resources, phonological and morphological systems; actional competence is considered as the ability to understand and convey communicative intention; sociocultural competence comprises knowledge of learners in expressing messages appropriately within cultural and social context of communication; strategic competence is conceptualized as knowledge of communication strategies and its use skillfully by learners.

(1995) differs from the model of Canale & Swain (1980). First, rather than “grammatical competence” the term “linguistic competence” was used to indicate that this component connotes syntax, morphology, phonology and lexis. Second, the term “sociocultural competence” was used rather than “sociolinguistic competence” to differentiate it from actional competence and to underline the fact that resources in language includes actional, discourse, and linguistic components whereas sociocultural knowledge is a requisite for implementation of language resources in other components.

I am not equally strong in all four competencies because I realize that I need to improve discourse competence.

Communicative tasks involve communicative competencies, but also, the knowledge of the audience, context, emotions, and implicit information. Children get distracted easily when they find a task highly challenging or too easy.

What I find most difficult about communicative oral activities planning tasks where my students create their own oral productions. Something that I find difficult is making them able to express themselves with proficiency and accuracy.

If the student is motivated, she would be able to face challenges that implies the use of competencies, which implies knowledge, skills, values and emotions.

Two studies, 1 longitudinal and 1 cross-sectional, demonstrate that for young elementary school children, academic intrinsic motivation is a reliable, valid, and significant construct. It was positively related to achievement, IQ, and perception of competence, and inversely related to anxiety. Academic intrinsic motivation at age 9 was significantly predicted by motivation measured 1 and 2 years earlier, above and beyond the contribution of IQ and achievement. Children with higher academic intrinsic motivation at ages 7 and 8 were more likely to show higher motivation at age 9. Whereas young children could reliably distinguish between subject areas of academic intrinsic motivation, only math motivation showed consistently specific relations to other math criteria. Findings are discussed with regard to developmental theories of intrinsic motivation and the significance of academic intrinsic motivation for children's education.

What do they like? Where do they come from? etc. Something as remembering their names makes a huge change in the relationship. 
Giving feedback should consider reflection, positive motivation, and the opportunity to improve. The way that we give feedback impacts the learners' motivation and learning, for this reason, is important to consider different techniques.
The learning environment must be created in order to ensure a positive and meaningful learning experience.
As educators, we are examples to students of how relationships should be: Polite, kind, assertive, empathetic etc.]]> 2022-05-21 13:04:17 UTC https://padlet.com/goveamario83/aoajbj0qy3v63dpf/wish/2193893559 goveamario83 https://padlet.com/goveamario83/aoajbj0qy3v63dpf/wish/2193895927 2022-05-21 13:08:38 UTC https://padlet.com/goveamario83/aoajbj0qy3v63dpf/wish/2193895927 goveamario83 https://padlet.com/goveamario83/aoajbj0qy3v63dpf/wish/2193899292 Challenging situations are common in the classroom., here are some recommendations to help face this.]]> 2022-05-21 13:13:29 UTC https://padlet.com/goveamario83/aoajbj0qy3v63dpf/wish/2193899292 goveamario83 https://padlet.com/goveamario83/aoajbj0qy3v63dpf/wish/2193911493 Inclusive education is an accessible and meaningful teaching practice for all.

Metacognition is a method to help learners become independent and discover their potential, inclusive teaching practices to ensure a better and richer learning environment, and communication as a tool to build channels among the community learning.

This is useful at the moment of teaching, especially because it ranks the cognitive process in levels. As teachers, we must be aware of how the cognitive level is related to the learning objective. Doing this process we can design and plan activities in order to be accurate and guide the learning process to the achievement of the objective.
