SESSION 3
In this session , the class started with a very detailed explanation of chapter 1 ¨the nature of research ¨I was paying close attention to this because it discussed the different types of research. I learned the difference between basic and applied research . The first one has to deal with the understanding a process expressed as a theory , and the second one has to do with the development of a new insight . There are also quantitative research such as experimental that is when the individual is controlled and it  is intensively studied. Correlational research which describes relationships among two or more variables. Furthermore there is a qualitative research which involves ethnographic research (when the researcher documents experiences) , Biographical ( important experiences in the life of an individual) , Grounded research ( when the problem being studied is being solved at the same time).



After this,  we discussed the article ¨working with competences in the ESL/EFL classrooms which basically described an example of how a mexican professor implemented task based instruction in the class , or at least he tried to attach himself to TBI guidelines. After some discussion with our classmates , we proceeded to discuss some questions with the teacher.

WELCOME ! TO : Fundamentals of competency-based education This is just an introduction to the subject and experience I had the first time I got into the classroom.  Pre-session :  👽I had the chance to express my expectations and ideas about the subject , a sheet where my personal information such as names , contact numbers , expectations was filled out ,and delivered to the instructor.   👽 I joined a group work since the very first day of class to work on our research.  👽 It was a time to refresh knowledge and learn new information.

In this session , We took a look at    THE EFFECTS OF PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT IN THE CLASSROOM IN BASIC ENGLISH STUDENTS  Within this topic , I can tell that classroom environment does influence in students since this has to do with ilumination , temperature , desks arrangement . If these factors are not contemplated before getting students into an uncomfortable environment they might probably be affected in their concentration. I do believe that an innaproriate environment influences in our learning process when intercating in the classroom since sometimes we tend to feel sleepy when the classroom tempetature is too hot . The same happens where the room is too cold we start shaking to a point where we get hypothermia , and consequently we do not pay attention to what is going on  around us. Now let`s take a look at the desks arrangement , I do think that the traditional row arrangement is not appropriate anymore since the whole attention is at the fron...

Session 2 :   👽 Today , our instructor showed us some of the comments regarding classmates´expectations about the subject. Mine was not there ,but I hope it is taken into account. The class was focused on a presentation about key information of Task based Instruction . I took a look at some of the elements that make learners competent ,and it is incredible how many students see themselves as worthless . Everyone has a capacity which is basically the point from which each student starts , and of course it has to be motivated and updated in order to reach some of the desired competencies. Furthermore , it is quite important to provide the learner a certain situation in whhich he is able to perform any action to solve it.  👽 In addition , I learnt that having a competency assures that I´m capable of doing or solving a task wherever is needed , and that success is based in a 100% of being successful in performing such a tassk.
