Martin Luther King Jr.

No olviden usar las TICs y este video es ideal para usarlo el viernes.
No olviden estas etapas de su clase:
Antes
Durante
Y después
Con clases basadas en CLIL este sería una manera ideal de enseñar algo real.

Patterns of classroom interaction


In ELT interaction patterns are the different ways learners and the teacher can interact in the class. Using the right interaction pattern is a fundamental factor in the success of any activity and the achievement of aims. 
 n the classroom
Different interaction patterns can support the aims of different kinds of activities. For example, if the learners are doing group writing then small Ss-Ss groups are best, but for elicitation of ideas the interaction pattern could be Ss-T. Changing interaction patterns can help vary the pace and choosing an appropriate pattern can help achieve learning aims, for example, making learners take the place of the teacher (S-Ss) can be very productive. 


 
Group work
Students work in small groups on tasks that entail interaction: conveying information, for example, or group decision-making. The teacher walks around listening, intervenes little if at all.
Closed-ended teacher questioning (‘IRF’)
Only one ‘right’ response gets approved. Sometimes cynically called the ‘Guess what the teacher wants you to say’ game.
Individual work
The teacher gives a task or set of tasks, and students work on them independently; the teacher walks around monitoring and assisting where necessary.
Choral responses
The teacher gives a model, which is repeated by all the class in chorus; or gives a cue, which is responded to in chorus.
Collaboration
Students do the same sort of tasks as in ‘Individual work,’ but work together, usually in pairs, to try to achieve the best results they can. The teacher may or may not intervene. (Note that this is different from ‘Group work,’ where the task itself necessitates interaction.)
Student initiates, teacher answers
For example, in a guessing game: the students think of questions and the teacher responds; but the teacher decides who asks.
Full-class interaction
The students debate a topic or do a language task as a class; the teacher may intervene occasionally, to stimulate participation or to monitor.
Teacher talk
This may involve some kind of silent student response, such as writing from dictation, but there is no initiative on the part of the student.
Self-access
Students choose their own learning tasks, and work autonomously.
Open-ended teacher questioning
There are a number of possible ‘right’ answers, so that more students answer each cue.

The teachers wall

Este sitio diseñado por Melinda Gates y Schoolastic nos brinda testimonios de los retos que muchos maestros en Estados Unidos deben enfrentar, retos, muy parecidos a los nuestros aquí en México:
* A veces padres negligentes o padres controladores.
* La doble moral de algunas instituciones en donde la mayoría de las veces la educación se ve como un negocio y no como lo que es.
* El exceso de trabajo con el que a veces lidiamos con gusto y otras veces con frustración.
* En ocasiones lidiar con jefes que sólo quieren el control por el control, y no por un bien común.
*  A veces, las escuelas están mal organizadas y eso afecta nuestro trabajo como docentes.
* Y algo muy cultural, compañeros y colegas envidiosos.


¿Por qué son ustedes maestros? ¿Por vocación? ¿Por qué son padres y es el mejor horario de trabajo?
¿Por qué les encanta sentir que otra persona aprende de ustedes? ¿Por qué es divertido? 

No dejen de ver los videos que hay en este sitio.
¿Cuándo? ¿No tienen tiempo de leer?
Tal vez el fin de semana.
