What does your keyword “look like” in the classroom?
 A classroom using a participatory approach is different from many teacher-fronted classrooms that have been typical in language learning setting. Participatory approach, through the concept of Freire,  opposes the old "banking method" of teaching where the teacher acts as depositor of information and students act as recipients.

The teacher dialogues with the students in order to identify problems they are having. She then looks for ways to incorporate these problems into the lessons. These problems become the content she focuses on
in language instruction.
The students are encouraged to share the daily concerns of their lives with the teacher and the class.

Language is used meaningfully, with a focus on form subordinate to communication initially. Ultimately, correctness of form is taught and valued so that students can be successful in using language with authorities. Literacy is thought to be very important, although no skill is neglected.

What is the role of the students’ native language?
The students’ native language is valued. It should not be lost when students learn a new language.

How is evaluation accomplished?
As much as possible the students are encouraged to direct and to evaluate their own learning so that it is connected with their lives.

How does the teacher respond to student errors?
Students are encouraged to self-correct. The teacher also points out student errors and provides feedback on how to correct errors.]]> 2022-11-12 04:04:03 UTC https://padlet.com/zelayaangela4/jmq3gtdccefrirym/wish/2380805576 Techniques zelayaangela4 https://padlet.com/zelayaangela4/jmq3gtdccefrirym/wish/2380807353
Here are the two special techniques associated with the
Participatory Approach:

• Dialoguing
In the Participatory Approach, teacher and students dialogue about issues in the students’ lives that relate
to their power and the power of others. Students are encouraged ‘to perceive critically the way they exist in the world with which and in which they find themselves’ (Freire 1970: 64).

• Problem Posing
The teacher poses a problem that she has identified from dialoguing with students. Students are encouraged to examine their own practices and beliefs and to engage in collaborative planning and problem solving around the problem that has been posed. Problem posing helps students to understand the social, historical, and cultural forces that shaped the context in which they live, and then helps empower them to take action and make decisions in order to gain control over their lives in that context.]]> 2022-11-12 04:10:24 UTC https://padlet.com/zelayaangela4/jmq3gtdccefrirym/wish/2380807353 Advantages and Disadvantages zelayaangela4 https://padlet.com/zelayaangela4/jmq3gtdccefrirym/wish/2380812300 Advantages
