 Desing a listening activity 

1.- pre-listening

Children will have a black and white photo and the teacher will ask some questions.

          Where do you think these aliens are?

         How many aliens are in this picture?

2.- while-listening

        How many aliens are yellow?

       How many aliens are green?

         How many aliens are pink?

         How many aliens are purple?

        How many aliens are with four legs?

        How many aliens are with two heads?

Zog´s book

In my opinion the book is interesting and funny. Besides it has a lot of drawing which make it is reading easier. The paragraphs are short, so as not to be boring.

Although it takes too long to read it. It is proper for children at infantile education, but the vocabulary is difficult.

Zog´s book is good to be listened and the pictures can be shown. Children interact with the classroom and with the classmate while listening.

Children can learn how important friendship, mother-care, learning new things and developing fantasy is.

In conclusion teacher would enjoy reading this book because they could adapt it to the children´s behavior in that moment.

Activities about different teaches methos

1.- Is  has been said that the Grammar-Traslation Method teaches students about the target language, but not how to use it. Explain the difference in your own words.

This method (Grammar-Traslation) is properly when you teach the grammar because although you translate all the grammar, you can´t communicate well because you don´t learn with this method to communicate properly.

The important thing is develop communicative competence.

2.-is Grammar-Traslation Method, grammar is treated deductively; in the Direct  Method, grammar is treated inductively. Can you explain the difference between deductive and inductive treatments of grammar?

Grammar-Traslationà deductive

Direct Method à inductive

In the first one (Grammar-Traslation) is deductive because the teacher explain (translation) all things and in the second one it is the child who learn theirself.

3.-which of the following techniques follows from the principles of the audio-lingual method, and which ones don´t? explain the reasons for your answer.

I choose the paragraph B, “towards the end of the third week of the course, the teacher gives students a reading passage. The teacher asks the students to real the passage and to answer certain questions based upon it. The passage contains words and structures introduced during the first three weeks of the course” because  in this method the teacher always is a model for imitation and children imitation all things.

In this method children or students repetition an imitation. Also, they have dialogues memorization.

5.- Asher believes that foreign language instruction can and should be modeled on native language acquisition. What are some characteristics of TPR that are similar to the way children acquire their native language?

TPR (Total Physical Response) is a usefull method for children when they learn a first language. Because children imitation the direct behavior that teacher directs them.

Children listen and speak in a enjoyable way and for this reason, children learn properly a first language.

7.- A lot of target language structures and vocabulary can be taught through the imperative. Plan part of a TPR lesson in which the present continuous tense, or another structure in the target language, is introduced.

We teach something with TPR without the imperative with children. We can do this method you use the imperative but in a different way.
