NATURAL APPROACH METHOD ACTIVITY


WHAT I LIKED FROM MY PRESENTATION.


What I really liked from my presentation was that I did not  need to use extra things in my activity; for example, I did not  use visual aids, CD-player, and canyon.  I only needed to explain the activity to my classmates and encouraged them to start the activity (a debate). Although the natural approach method is for beginners, the activity that I presented can be used in all the levels of learning English. It is interesting and entertaining; for that reason, many people like to participate in this activity. Moreover, you can hear many points of view or opinions about a certain topic.

WHAT I COULD HAVE IMPROVE.

I could have organized better the time because ten minutes was not enough for this activity. Moreover, I could have carried a piece of paper for each participant of the activity where they could read the rules, indications, and posture for each group.  I could have made extra papers with some points about the topic for gaining time. Then, I could have given it for each person. Finally, I learned many things that I could have improved in my presentation for the next I will do it better.

 DID I FEEL COMFORTABLE?

I felt comfortable during the activity; however, at the beginning of the activity I was nervous because it was the first time that I was acting as a real teacher and was the first time that I was developing an activity in front of the people. After that I was comfortable because the students or classmates started to participate in an active way with me. To sum up, I did not want to stop the activity because it was interesting and entertaining, and everyone was participating and giving their points of view.

WHAT I THINK ABOUT THE ACTIVITIES MY OTHER CLASSMATES PRESENTED.

I like all the activities that my classmates have presented because each activity has a purpose in the classroom. I like the activities of the lexical approach method because this method helps us to speak like a native speaker. Moreover, we can learn a lot of idioms and slang vocabulary. Moreover, I like the activity that developed Cristy because I think that it was very interesting and entertaining   for the student, for they can use their imagination and creativity.
