NATURAL APPROACH METHOD

What I liked from my method.


What I liked from my method is that the teachers do not use their mother tongue because this method is based in the target language; moreover, it is not based in grammar. It is based in communication, and the students should not  use their native language. I liked the teacher's roles because the teacher has the responsibility to create a classroom atmosphere where the students can develope high motivation, self-confidence and low axiety. this method has the main purpose that people learn in natural way; in other words, in unconscious way where they can learn and enjoy the class at the same time.

What I did not like from my method.

What I did not like from my method  is that natural approach is for begginers, and it is designed to help them become intermediates. From my point of view, this method has good activities that they can help us to learn many things; moreover, I did not like that learners do not learn anything or almost anything about grammar, they just learn how to commuicate with other people. It is good; however, the students need to know when they are committing grammatical errors, and they also need to know how to correct them.

What I understood  from the others methods.

What I understood from Community Language Learning method is that the teacher and student work to develop what aspects of la language they would like to learn together. It makes the classes more interesting because the students are learning things that they want to learn; moreover, the teacher acts as a counsellor and a paraphraser, while the learners act as a collaborator. However, this method is something difficult to understand because the teacher plays a secondary rol in the class.

What I understood from  Task Based is that this method focuses on the use of authentic language on asking students to do meaningful task using the target language. Moreover I learnt that the teacher's role is to prepare the task which will be expose in the class for example, the teacher has to select the task; then the students have to do that task in pairs or in small groups. Finally, if the students have doubts, they can ask to the teacher to reinforce.

The expert in anything was once a beginner.

I love this quote because this few words express many things; moreover, it expresses the reality of the life. everyone was a beginner because no one is born perfect. Therefore, we learn something new each day. when I was a child, I was very bad in many things for example, I could not read very well, I couldn't play soccer, I couldn't drive well etc. but now maybe I am not expert; however, I am better than in the past. 

Many people think that they are perfect, but they are so wrong  beacuse the mankind is imperfect and it means that we need  someone else during our whole life. everybody before to be expert needed a teacher who teach how to be successfull in this life for that reason we have to be humble and we don´t have to judge people because there is only one perfect and expert and he is god.

teachers are very important because they play a big rol in our life; moreover, they take the responsability to teach us many things while we are studying for example.
1. They teach us how to be successful  in our life. it includes family, work, friends etc.
2. Teachers are like our second parents because they take care us from many bad things.
3. They give us advices about how to behave in  our life.
4. Even they are happy when we achieve many good things.

As you can see the teachers are very important because before to be expert in anything, we were a beginners and we needed of them in great part of our life for that reason to be a teacher is a previlege. most people think that the worst prefession in this country is to be a teacher; however, it is the best profession in this world because behind a doctor there is a teacher, behind a lawyer there is a teacher too.

As I told you behind any profession there is a teacher so that means that to be a teacher is the best profession in the world. the experts in anything had to learn many things from other people for example if you want to learn something about medicine, you have to learn from someone else for that reason we don't have to forget that the future  depends of us now because the today's begginers become the tomorrow's experts.
