Third Reflection: Teaching Methods

I think that the different teaching methods have different purposes and all are important in the way of teaching, but to say that only one is appropriate to give classes or prepare them I think that is wrong. not only for the main characteristics and objectives that each one has, but also for students, because in some cases students are not interested in learning another language or consider the class boring that`s why these methods are used to motivate  students in the class making participate them actively.

 

 According to my previous experience I have to say that the methods that teachers used in their classes were almost the same (translating, repeating) every activity even if they were written or spoken, in the case of production also they used the same techniques.

In my personal opinion, the best method is the physical response, because in this method the response of students are according the instructions from the teacher and they can see how this responses are; Besides, one of the typical way to develop this method is applying games using different resources or just their body in a kinesthetic way, this method is well suited to teach the different verbs with their respective actions.
I think that this method is appropriate for kids from elementary school that may have better results with this kind of activities.
