SPEAKING WITH SUPPORT

Brief description about the class

A class group has shown us their topic: Speaking with support. They have presented us some classroom phrases that our pupils can use in class, for instance: What is the meaning of...? Can you spell this word?. They also have told us the importance of saying rhymes and singing songs. They have presented us the song “Old Mac Donald had a farm” to work this aspect. Also, we have listened the song “Count of me” by Bruno Mars, with the lyrics and we have done some activities related to it.

They have explained us about how to work practising new vocabulary. They have shown us some pictures about clothes, and some person hide a picture, and we have to find what picture is missing. We also have played: I spy with my little eye.

They have explained the importance of playing vocabulary games too, using riddles and an activity to learn the jobs.

By last, they have exposed us about practising pronunciation of new sounds.

What I have learnt in this lesson

I think I have learnt a lot about this topic. It is so important to practice speaking with our children and they have shown us how to do it in a funnier way. They have explained lots of aspects that we have to work with our children like pronunciation, vocabulary...

My personal opinion

In my opinion, speaking is the most important part in English. We can study new vocabulary and grammar, but it is so difficult to apply it when we speak. In the first ages of children, is when they can acquire a perfect pronunciation and fluency on speaking. Because of this aspect, as teachers we have to be worried about our own pronunciation, to teach our pupils in a correct way. We have to improve our pronunciation to not teach our children some mistakes related to it.

There are some interesting resources like rhymes, tongtwisters, songs...which can help us to work speaking in a funnier way.
