Hello!
Hello!
I just wanted to share another type of puppets I did with my students. In this case they had to create themselves and talk about their family with their classmates.
A positive relationship between the student and the target language is as important as the positive relationship...
A positive relationship between the student and the target language is as important as the positive relationship between the student and the teacher. The positive learning environment is essential. The classes with my English teacher in primary school were boring. The situation improved in high school, but everything changed when I attended a summer school in Reading, UK. For the first time in my life I enjoyed my English classes; the teachers were so motivating, cheerful, interesting... everything I wanted. I wanted to be like them... I was fascinated by them... and at the age of 20, while still at University, I started working in a language school. I loved teaching so much, and yes, my teachers from UK were my role model! I have been teaching 21 years now and I always try to be entertaining, funny, interesting and motivating for my students. And yes, affective language teaching leads to successful language learning!
Perfect! Easy to find, cheap to do and tons of fun around! Thanks for sharing them! :)

ReplyDeleteI'm sure your students had a good time, and some laughs, as they created their toilet paper roll puppets! I can imagine that they had a lot of fun using the puppets they created to talk about their families!
ReplyDeleteLove your students' puppets, Carolina!!!
ReplyDeleteI am certain that learning must have happened very affectively! Congrats!!!
