New Learning MOOC’s Updates

Finding different ways to teach the same subject

As a Spanish teacher as foreign language, the curriculum suggested requests the first 3 years basic grammar with subjects that are repeated every year, those students who are very fast learners, by the third year, still remember what they learnt the previous years and therefore get bored very easy, I have found that I NEED, for those students who go in a slow pace, repeat every year the same explanation. Due to diversity in a class of 29 students, I try to balance in between activities that require work group, interaction, where they have to create (cartel, a play, a video) and I balance the grade with individual tests, all of them with the same goal but with different ways of working on the content we need to study. Also, referring the “everywhere learning”, I suggest for my students lessons on Duolingo, which is an application they can work with from anywhere, and keep practicing the language. I have realized, as it is mentioned in the lecture, that I need to adapt and move toward my students advance, and still feel it is not enough.
