GRABBING 
THE BULL BY IT HORNS

"IF YOU ARE INTERESTED,IT`S EASIER TO MANAGE"

We need rule,routines,trust and participation  from the students so that   the class can  develop fluid and efective.

ESTABLISH  WARM-HEARTED                     :
  •  Teachers greet students every day,they should know their name,things that they like,it can help students have more trust in her.
  • Theachers of YLs are responsible for helping students in their growth and in becoming good citizens.

CREATE A CONFORTABLE AND SAFE PLACE
  • The goal is to create a positive and productive atmosphere for learning,teachers have to become good managers.
  • It`s very important to create an arrangement that will have the following qualities(see all students  in front of the room,the seats can be moved to to work in pair and group work,etc)
  • The wall space for brightly clored posters,pictures,it can help create an engaging environment to YLs,the goal is to provide and English-Speaking environment.


INCLUDE STUDENTS IN THE ELABORATION OF RULE

The rule are different from the routines (rule have consequences,but routins are reminder).
Teachers of YLs always have rules,how you enforce them,will determine your success as a teacher,and know what the school rules are.
Teachers can even co.construct class rules with older  so that they  become more responsable for their own behavior,all students can participate in this process like a contract.
Establish consequences for certain actions,if students don`t follow the rules.
Is a good idea make these, in the begining of the year,everything must be comunicated openly and clearly.



COMUNICATION TEACHER-STUDENT
                      
                         The key is to build good relationship with students(said Joan Kang Shin)
When we teach,we must show them ,patience, compasion ,self control, because students watch us,listen, learn and repeat what we teach them.
Treating all students equally and fairly is important because we want to encourage all students to do their best,However teachers should avoid having favorites and instead created a feeling of trust with all students.



CREATE ROUTINES
  • The main way to manage a class full of YLs is to develop classrooms routines,these rituals can help them build real language (starting the class,establishing the date, brain breaks,cleaning up the room,etc).


                              First grade students demonstrate and describe the daily activities.Some of these activities include entering the classroom,morning meeting,using  word wall,centers,math.calendar                                                                                     and behavior.

Like teachers we have to face conflicts and we must be fast and intelligent to resolve it.
YLs have so much energy are ,easily distracted, tend to be very egocentric,there are ways teacher can keep control of the classroom:
  1. Planining the material and instructions before the class.
  2. Keep the peace of the class.
  3. Fill each moment with angaging activities.
  4. Include parents in activities,conect the school with the house,and how they can help, if students  have problems.


In my opinion there are links between school culture,routines and management,the importance the instituton has a good organization.
Authoritis,teachers  organized  a plan of work and study, because these things that i have mentionaded like,routines,comunication,etc, are necesary to establish a good learning from the students.
If they have a solid base,all the rest will work well.
And we know that are in the right path.

                              INGREDIENTS FOR A GOOD ELT:



 When we organise and teach our class,we must take into account these things for a good (ELT)English,Lenguage,Teaching:

PLANIFICATION: A good designed of education and evaluated with goals,objetives for ours students,because it is not same to teach children as young learners or adult.
Introducing international cultures can be also arouse their curiosity,and introduce them to the world where they may be using English in the future.It`s important to expose students to lots of different cultures.

LEARNING ENVIRONMENT: It`s very important,because a good environment with visuals,material didatic,adecuate furnithure can help them in the learning.
Many popular childrend`s stories and tv shows take place in a fantasy world,they complay make-believe by dressing up in custumes and pretending to be characters using English.
Children,young learners construct knowlodge from interacting with the physical enviroment in develop mental stages.
Every child is different in their learning,their maturity,some students are faster than other,
Young learners are easily distracted,teachers should try to capture their attention with different kinds of activities.
The impotance that students have a shorth break, is necesary.
Succes in a foreign language depends on the characteristics of the classroom environment.



                                   


NECESSITIES: Sometimes young learners can get frustated with a task,teachers need to know how to alleviate frustation on the spot, if teachers are enthusiastic and passionate about the topic and activities,the students will be.
The adult`s role is very important for a correct learning and evaluated of our stdents.


METHODS:It´s important for students to experience all types of social interaction with each other and the teacher,because communicating in different contexts is like real life.
Activities,books,games,use topics like animal,plants,pictures,audio visual(movies), interaction in the local enviroment like; zoo,park, museum, all depending on their ages.
Grammatical structures are the building blocks of language,they will gain an undestanding of the grammar through repetition and recycling of the language in different contexts.

I created this pyramid to show you,that with this point,they can obteain a good learning.

In my opinion i like the metaphor of the pancake-pile,because all these points,that i have mentionated will be on slice of knowlodge ,ready to be enjoyed,becuase our preparation as teachers help students to enjoy the subjet,and the new challenge to learn (ELT).
They have the ability to understand the new language structures and use them correctely.

                                              EYL PROGRAMS


EYL HAS DIFFERENT GOALS,OBJETIVES,DEPENDING ON NATIONAL AND LOCAL EDUCATIONAL POLICY,CULTURAL PREFERENCES, ATTITUDES TOWARD ENGLISH, THE ROLE OF VARIOUS LANGUAGE IN THE COUNTRY, AND THE LANGUAGE SPOKEN BY CHILDREN AT HOME.

IT IS ABOUT A PROGRAM TO TEACH ENGLISH TO YOUNG LEARNERS.
NEED TO BE:
·         CAREFULLY PLANNED
·         ADEQUATELY SUPPORTED AND RESOURCED
  • EVALUATED

BENEFITS OF EYL:

v  IT IS AN INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE.
v  PROVIDES CHILDREN WITH A BETTER EDUCATION, AND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES.
v  IT IS A MEANS OF INSTRUCTION IN HIGHER EDUCATION.
v  PICK UP A LANGUAGE EASILY.
v  BETTER LANGUAGES SKILLS.
v  FAVORABLE ATTITUDES TO OTHER LANGUAGE AND CULTURES.
v  CAN CREATE A SENSE OF ACHIEVEMENT.
v  BETTER PRONUNCIATION AND FLUENCY.
v  INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCE.

CHALLENGES:


  • IT´S TO KEEP STUDENTS MOTIVATED THROUGH ALL THE YEARS.
  • THEY NEED TO STUDY LANGUAGE WITH APPROPRIATE EYL PROGRAM.

I THINK THE CONTEXT INSTITUCIONALS IS NECESSARY TO OBTAIN A GOOD ORGANIZATION,PLANIFICATION, AND LEARNING, THE EYL BY THE AUTHORITIES AND TEACHERS.

THE IMPORTANCE IS THAT TEACHERS CAN BE STUDYING,PREPARING THEMSELVES, KNOW TTECHNOLOGY AND ADVANCES ABOUT IT,TO COMBINE SCIENCE OF EDUCATION AND TECHNOLOGY,ARE THE BEST  OPTION TO TEACH AND WORK WITH DIFFERENT AGES, HELP STUDENTS TO LEARN, AND THEY HAVE A GOOD MASTERY IN THE NEW LANGUAGE,IN THAT MOMENT AND IN THE FUTURE.THE INSTITUTION SHOULD BE IN TOUCH WITH EVERY CHANGE, REFORMS,ADVANCES, TO OFFER NEW KNOWLEDGE TO STUDENTS.


IN MY EXPERIENCE LIKE A KID, I HAD GOOD EXPERIENCES WITH MY TEACHERS THAT USED TO USE LOTS OF ACTIVITIES,THAT A HAVE BEEN LEARNING WITH THE PASSING OF THE YEARS.
WHEN I WAS TEENEGER GOOD TEACHERS TAUGHT ME,TO ENJOY,LOVE,LEARN ABOUT THIS LANGUAGE.
TODAY I BELIEVE THAT THEY USED TO USE MANY TECHNIQUES,ACTIVITIES,PREPARED BY TEACHERS AND INSTITUTION,TO TEACH ME A SECOND LANGUAGE LIKE:

FLES PROGRAMS:CHILDREN STUDY ONE LANGUAGE AS A REGULAR SCHOOOL SUBJECT FOR UP TO 45 MINUTES A DAY,SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK, THE GOAL THING IS TO HELP CHILDREN DEVELOP LISTENING AND SPEAKING,PROFICIENCY IN READING AND WRITING INTHE LATER PRIMARY GRADES( 4-6),THAT WILL HELP AS THEY CONTINUE TO STUDY THE LANGUAGE IN SECONDARY SCHOOL.

FLEX PROGRAMS:CHILDREN RECEIVE SHORT SESSIONS IN WHICH THEY LEARN BASIC WORDS OR PHRASES,SOMETIMES BEFORE OR AFTER SCHOOL,MUSIC,SONGS,STORIES,LEARN THE NUMBERS,COLORS,THIS PROGRAM IS TO IN CREASE,CHILDRENS AWARENESS OF THEIR LANGUAGE AND CULTURES AND THUS OF THEIR OWN.

IN THIS TOWN THE MOST COMMON PROGRAMS ARE THESE,TO MOTIVATE CHILDREN,YOUNG PEOLPLE TO STUDY A LANGUAGE.

IN MY OPINION IT WASN`T EASY TO LEARN IT,BUT WITH COMMITMENT AND STUDY EACH KID,YOUNG PEOPLE OR ADULT CAN MANAGE TO COMMUNICATE CORRECTLY AND ENJOY THE OPPORTUNITIES THAS THIS SECOND LANGUAGE OFFERS US.





THS VIDEO SHOWS US,HOW YOUNG PEOPLE CAN SEE THE BENNEFITS OF LEARNING ENGLISH,AND ALL KIND OF OPPORTUNITIES IN THEIR LIFE, FOR BEING DEDICATED TO THIS.
