Body Paragraph(second draft)


Some teachers consider that teach English as a foreign language for teenagers is a matter of writing some grammar rules on a blackboard and memorizing some verbs or repeat some phrases, however this way of teaching English may turn into a boring experience for students because they loss motivation, which result very difficult for a teacher to catch the attention of the students. The teacher should get the attention of the students, in order to make the class more interesting and the way to achieve that, it’s teaching in an interactive and dynamic way. Therefore, it is advisable to plan the class, to make dynamic strategies and use audiovisual aids.
To agree on Callum Robertson (2006), who he says, “what ever the level of the experience, it’s important that all teachers take time to think trough their lesson before they enter the classroom”… This is a very important point to take into account because teachers needs to identify his or her aims for each class and also they must know what it is they want their students to be able to do at the end of the lesson that they couldn't do before that class. Planning should give the teacher the opportunity to predict possible problems and therefore consider solutions, in order to be prepared for any situation.
Second of all, there are a lot of dynamic strategies like games, role plays, workshops, speeches, etc. That can provide to develop their speaking skills and increasing their motivation. For instance, when the students develop a role-play their speaking fluency increase and also they are going to get familiar with some phrases and at the same time they are getting a significant learning of English language, also the speeches improve their speaking abilities without fear to commit mistakes.
Regarding to audiovisual aids like computer, DVD player CD player and overhead projector etc. are the most important tools for an English teacher, because for young people is easier to relate an image, a movie or a song with a grammatical structure. These resources can contribute to improve the student’s abilities and also let them the opportunity to learn a foreign language in an interesting and fresh way without monotony. Teachers have to select the resource very carefully by the contrary, if the teacher doesn’t choose the adequate resource might be hard to capture the student’s attention and also loss their motivation, it must create a narrow link between the student and the audiovisual aid in order to get a positive answer.
