Welcome Back! 🤩🥳

 Hello, welcome back to my blog!🤩💗

It's so nice to have you here once again💗.

We are back and ready for our last semester! Also, excited and nervous because it is our last semester at the university🤭. 

And also... welcome to English Didactics 2!🥳🥳

I was excited to see that we would have this class with teacher Orlando again, I enjoy his lessons and think it will be really special to share our last semester with him❤️.

Talking about teacher Orlando👀, he welcomed us with a surprise quiz😬. Well, it was only a diagnosis (thankfully😅) but I felt so ashamed because I didn't remember some of the things on the quiz. 


I was only able to get 6 correct answers, but in my defense😅...the ones that I wasn't able to get were things we saw a few semesters ago haha😂😂.

Anyways, teacher Orlando was also explaining everything we are going to do this semester, and one of the huge things we are doing is that we are becoming teachers!🤩👩🏻‍🏫 We are going to put into practice everything we have learned so far, and we will teach to real students. This seems super fun to me but also I am a little bit nervous, but we will see how it goes.

I hope you are excited to be back as I am🤩, and I will be seeing you around in the different blog entries. Byeeee 👋🏻💛.

About me 💛 .

Hello there 👀, welcome to my English Didactics blog! It's a pleasure for me that you are here, reading me, and wanting to know about English Didactics and my learning process. But before we start, I would love for you to get to know me at least a little bit.😊 My name is Miriam Aguilar, I'm from tiny and tropical El Salvador🌴, and I'm a 22-year-old translation and interpretation student. I'm in the last year of my major, which is very exciting and nerve-racking, and I love learning new things. Some of my interests (besides language learning) are reading, writing, and photography; basically, I love anything related to art because I think it's the best way to release our emotions and be connected with ourselves and our surroundings 💭. So I think this blog will be a great way for me to express myself and also for you to get to know a little more about me between letters.  👆🏻 Feel free to leave a comment, question, etc, whenever you want to. I would totally love to...

The Grammar Translation Method ✍🏼.

 Hello! Welcome back to my blog! 🌼✨ It is nice to know that you are here after getting to know a little bit about me! But here, we officially start our English Didactics journey, exciting!🤩 The first things we are learning about are the different types of language teaching methods, and to make this a little interesting, I will be telling you a little bit about the method, how we put it in practice in my class and maybe show you some pictures or videos here and there 👀.  The first method we are talking about is (as you guessed by the title),  The Grammar Translation Method (TGTM). This method is one of the two fundamental methods out there and it's considered traditional teaching. The GTM was proposed by Professor Karl Plotz around the 19th century, and it focuses more on reading and writing skills ✍🏼 📖. As the name of the method mentions, it uses a lot of translation exercises for teaching, which helps students learn about the right application of grammar and correct...

Total Physical Response 🕺🏻.

 Hello! It's been a few days since the last entry🤔 Welcome back!!! 🤩 🤩 Today I'm here to tell you a little bit about what we learned in class, and honestly, it's one of the most fun methods so far, and it's called  Total Physical Response (TPR).  🏃🏻‍♀️ This method was created by James Asher, and it consists of teaching language through physical activity because the more often a memory connection is traced, the stronger the memory association and the more likely it will be remembered🧠.  For this method, we can use different tools such as different songs and the principal idea, and the use of imperatives (short commands) to indicate what the student needs to do 🗣️ 🎶 . This method is very dynamic, so it can turn the classroom really loud, but honestly, I think it's worth it haha😉. Another thing, important to mention, is that with this method you can take advantage of what is happening around you to introduce new vocabulary🫣. To practice this method, teach...
