Presentations of the projects

All the groups have presented our projects. We have also learned many things on these presentations. We have seen a way to work the English by going to a farm. Usually this trips are used ass regular classes, not with the purpose of teaching English, and they can also be an advantage to teach English. It is important to join the topic they work in class and the topic of the English lessons, so this way we can take advantage of this trips to work the English vocabulary. It is very important and nice that children could manipulate and experiment for themselves the products, instead of using always images.

We have learned how to include the vocabulary through stories and songs. Choosing a suitable story for a task can be a little difficult for children but very nice at the same time. Using stories is very nice and effective way for this.

Another very original way for children to work new vocabulary is after showing them the pictures, doing a story with them and making them repeat what they have, by performing a series of questions, to help children acquire the new vocabulary.

We have seen in most of the groups that keep balance between the theory and the practical part using games, mimic, movement, etc...

In these role plays we have also collected a series of positive messages that we want to share in our blog. Firstly, we present vocabulary through images collected by the children. Children see those of images weekly in different formats, power -point and album. Secondly, each week children produce some things that they are going to use then to play (theater, map), other to have fun (create song), and the others to communicate (Skype, etc.). Thirdly and last, the vocabulary is highly related and at the end we set it all, so children can remember and keep it, while they extend their learning.
