The focus was on pronunciation, oral interaction, no translation and little use of grammatical rules. The DM was taught inductively.]]> 2020-04-25 22:31:09 UTC https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530488207 macapapizcruz https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530494875 In this case, students are asked to listen to the audio and point to the mentioned objects that are shown by a picture on the book. Today this method is common among students who haven't learnt to read or write well yet.  I took this example of a book my neighbour is nowadays using for her online clases. Her mother was kind enough to send it to me. ]]> 2020-04-25 22:43:56 UTC https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530494875 macapapizcruz https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530502534 2020-04-25 22:58:09 UTC https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530502534 macapapizcruz https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530503851 * Reading aloud

They use pictures and grammar is taught from examples (inductively) The topics are of everyday vocabulary and the focus is on learning new vocabulary.
Differences: There is no dictation nor paragraph writing.  There is no conversation practice as students are just repeating new vocabulary.]]> 2020-04-25 23:04:02 UTC https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530505329 macapapizcruz https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530515009 Consisted in learning mainly through memorization and translation of texts of the foreign language.

This is a new methodology that I got informed of because I took up a course on that matter. This way of teaching has proven to be successful in schools where the foreign language does not have many hours to be taught, so teachers can focus on just one ability to be developed: reading comprehension. I could not find a book online, but I found a book of "IDIOMA MODERNO ITALIANO" which was an optative subject I took in my second year at University.]]> 2020-04-25 23:54:48 UTC https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530526418 macapapizcruz https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530526902 2020-04-25 23:56:00 UTC https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530526902 macapapizcruz https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530527097 2020-04-25 23:56:26 UTC https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530527097 macapapizcruz https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530531670 Similarities: the teacher asks for explanations of texts (but not necessarily exact translations). There is a grammar section afterwards and an exercise in group to see what was understood.  The focus is on grammar and reading comprehension. The other abilities are not taken into account. The mother tongue is used as the medium to learn the foreign language.
Differences: The text does not need to be an exact translation and the activities make use of cooperation and are innovative to keep the student interested in the activity, in contrast to the "tedious" description of the GTM method.  The learning is not deductive as the text is shown as an example and then the grammar is explained.]]> 2020-04-26 00:08:51 UTC https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530531670 macapapizcruz https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530536651 I thought it could be enriching to mention some activities that I found from when I went to a private institute of English in secondary School, not more than 10 years ago. The teacher followed the GMT completely and he was a native speaker from the USA. I think it is interesting that he chose this method even though he was not really a teacher but decided to teach when he moved here. I know that these examples are not taken from a book but I added them because I think it is interesting that even in recent times, teachers resort to this method.]]> 2020-04-26 00:22:34 UTC https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530536651 macapapizcruz https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530539057 Although, he left us to choose one of our liking, so it would be more entertaining.]]> 2020-04-26 00:29:55 UTC https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530539057 macapapizcruz https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530539422 2020-04-26 00:31:00 UTC https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530539422 macapapizcruz https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530539575 2020-04-26 00:31:28 UTC https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530539575 macapapizcruz https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530540436 2020-04-26 00:33:19 UTC https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530540436 macapapizcruz https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530540512 Positively, the words were related to some topic, in this case, time and directions. ]]> 2020-04-26 00:33:32 UTC https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530540512 macapapizcruz https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530541668 2020-04-26 00:36:57 UTC https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530541668 macapapizcruz https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530542089 At least, the context is taken into account and they are not isolated sentences. This was handed out to just be studied. ]]> 2020-04-26 00:38:15 UTC https://padlet.com/macapapizcruz/odkm8vt05rr5clxp/wish/530542089
