5TH MODULE SESSION ONE

TOPIC : Methodological framework ( chapter III) 

Hello readers , I wish I had the time for updating my blog , but is never too late to start writing again . Well due to the teacher`s illness we did not have any class on June 15th and on June 22nd we did not go to class either since it was our day `` teachers day ``, so we did have a day off .  After explaining all that stuff , I would like to comment that in our first session we learned more about chapter three of our research project which includes the research design , type of research , pupulation and sample , hypotheses and a relational matrix of variables. We did have some doubts in our team regarding our population , but we solved it . I have read some about how a hypothesis should be written , but I could not recall it well , so we proceeded to look for some info I learned that they must be free of ambiguous terms , they should be precise and in an afirmative way.  

After discussing in groups , we watched a video starring J,c  Richards talking about listening comprehension . Here you have the video if you like to take a look. 



Jack Richards emphasizes two types of listening processes the first is top down processing which is when the teacher uses background information to predict the meaning of what the students are going to listen . 
For example , when you have students predicting what an article is going to be about by only listening the main theme of the recording. 

On the other hand , bottom up processing focuses on listening for details  and involve tasks that focus on understanding at a sound or word level.


Here is a chart for you to see the differences between these two:

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. A video involving Jack Richards´c...
