5TH MODULE 6TH SESSION

Hello readers , today´s class was about features of spoken discourse. The teacher showed to us a power presentation where spoken discourse and its classification was presented. 
We can say that some features of spoken language are :
  • Conjoined short phrases and clauses. 
  • May be planned( lecture) unnplanned ( conversation).
  • Employ fixed phrases , fillers , hasitation , markers. 
  • Shows variation , speaker roles , purpose , context. 
Moreover, there is a three way of seeing spoken discourse :
 The first one is as INTERACTION :  It has to do with social interaction and conversations . some of the skills involved in this type are opening and closing , choosing topics , making small-talk , joking , reacting to others , turn talking. 




The second is TRANSACTION:  This happens where the main focus of the transaction is how accurately the speakers use the language. 

some of the skills involved in transaction are explaining a neeed or intention , describing something , asking questions , asking for clarification , confirming information , justifying an opinion , making ,  suggestions, making comparisons. 









And the last one , PERFORMANCE:  this kind of talk has to do with public speaking , transmiting information before an audience suach as classroom presentations , public announcements, and speeches.

Talk as performance to written language since we are aware of creating an impact on the listeners, so we tend to manipulate the message in order to convince people. 

some examples of talking as performance are: 
  • Giving a class report about a school trip. 
  • Conducting a class debate .
  • Giving a speech of welcome. 
  • Making a sales presentation 
  • Giving a lecture.
The main features of talk as performance are a focus on both message and audience , pedictable organization and sequencing , importance of both form and accuracy , often monologic. 

Furthermore , to connect pur ideas when talking we need some markers to sound logic, and not sounding like a robot. 
 Here is a video that can help you to get those markers to connect ideas .....enjoy it!

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.
