A new semester with Didactic's World.

Far from my blog since a couple of months I would start today with a new post :)
This semester is for Didactic 3 and I'll be sharing with you all the new and important knowledge that I will be acquiring through the days.
Today's post is about some chapters of the book "Teaching by principles" by Douglas Brown, specifically chapters 13 and 14 of the old version of the book.

I've been reading this chapters and they're so interesting because they show us a lot of information pretty helpful for us as teachers. There are some things that I already knew it but there are some other information that I didn't know as well.

Chapter 13 is named: Classroom Management
and
Chapter 14 is named: Strategies-Based Instructions.


After reading them, I had to answer these questions:
1.How is order set up and kept in learning environment?
2.What is the impact of strategies-based instructions on teaching English as a foreign language?

Now I present  my thoughts about these questions.

1.How is order set up and kept in learning environment?

There is a full set of points that are necessary  to set up and kept order in learning. First of all class environment  is very important because when students have a well-decorated classroom they would feel encourage to learn the language. Physically the classroom must be neat, clean, orderly in appearance and if it's possible free from external noises.
Talking about seating arrangement, student's desks should facilitate interaction within them and group or pair work. Another very important point is your voice and body language; you should know how to use them in order to have and understandable class.
Being prepared to work under adverse circumstances is something so important as is to play all the roles a teacher has. A good learning style contributes to order because if you use a good one, you would have all your students attention and primarily their learning would be in the best way. A positive classroom climate and the balance between praise and criticism would create self-confidence in the students, so it means order, behavior and participation would be better.

2.What is the impact of strategies-based instructions on teaching English as a foreign language?

The impact of SBI is that focusing in our teaching techniques and methodology we can encourage, build and sustain effective learning in our students.
By teaching them how to look at themselves and how to capitalize on their talents and experiences, they would learn lessons that would carry them beyond any language classroom. So it means they won't just stay with what they have learned in class and they would look for information by their own.
Learning strategies are germane to the eventual success of learners.
