BODYPARAGRAPH (THIRD DRAFT)

Some high school teachers consider that teaching English as a foreign language is a matter of writing some grammar rules on a blackboard and memorizing some verbs or repeating some phrases, however this way of teaching English may turn into a boring experience for students because they don’t feel motivated to learn a foreign language , so The teacher should get the attention of the students, in order to make an interesting class, and the way to achieve that, it’s to be prepared to teach the students a new language in an interactive and dynamic way without monotony . Therefore, it is advisable to plan the class, to make dynamic strategies and use audiovisual aids.


First of all, it can say that Planning should give the teacher the opportunity to predict possible problems and therefore consider solutions, in order to be prepared for any situation .According to Callum Robertson (2006, document on line), who 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 need to identify the necessities 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.


Second of all, there are a lot of dynamic strategies like games, songs, workshops, speeches, etc. that can provide to develop the student’s speaking skills and increasing their motivation. For instance, when students sing a song they are developing different skills and also they get familiar with some phrases and at the same time they get a meaningful learning of English language, also the speeches improve their speaking abilities without fear to commit mistakes in addition it can say the same about games because teacher can use this strategy to explain some grammar rules in order to motivate their students to participate in all the activities.


Third, regarding to audiovisual aids like computers, DVD player and CD player and overhead projector etc. are the most important tools for an English teacher, because for young people specially high schools students, is easier for them to relate an image, a movie or a music 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 way without monotony. Teachers have to select the resource very carefully because 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 positives results.
