Week 3:
Video 8:
This video shows exactly what I try to tell my students and my fellow teachers- do not give the answers immediatley but give alternatives, lead the students to get to the point by himselves. They can come to the answer by themselves, we just need to facilitate the learning process.
I personally use associations, I ask them to quess to try to find by themselves, I lead them all the way till they figure it out.
This video reminds me on that process of trying one way, another way.... and learn it at the end!
"You learned this! I didn't teach you!" ♡

Renata, did the fact that the student removing my cuff links has nothing to do directly with language teaching turn you off in any way?
ReplyDeleteWhat to you was the most impressive moments in the video?
What did you notice about the female student observing the male student removing my cuff link?
What statements that either I or the male student made were most memorable?
Cheers.

John Fanselow It did not turn me off. In fact, I was curious as the girl in the video was!
ReplyDeleteI see it as metaphor of indirect leading our students to learn by themselves.
Looking at the girl - she is so curious about the whole situation, her head going from one side to another trying to see how the cuff works, and the 51st second in the video she sights "Ohhh" as she was doing the whole thing and now she understood it. She is so interested in it and excited about it all.
The most memorable moment when the girl was leaning back and forward to see it all and how happy she was when the cuff was removed. ♡
I like the last part too: "I learned how!"
"You learned this, I didn't teach you" ♡
