I introduce myself in english but I am a native spanish speaker. My name is Brenda Farias, I'm from Argentina but I am actually living in Spain. I graduated from Universidad Argentina de la Empresa as a Sworn Translator. I do believe that learning English can be fun and I think that the best way to learn it is acquiring vocabulary o working in topic the student like!
Me presento en español, mi nombre es Brenda Farias, tengo 34 años y soy de Argentina siendo el español mi lengua materna. Actualmente vivo en España. Me gradué en la Universidad Argentina de la Empresa con título de 4 años de Traductora Publica en Idioma Ingles. Cabe aclarar que tengo un título intermedio como traductora científica-técnica.
Considero que la mejor manera de aprender el idioma es adquiriendo vocabulario o trabajando en los temas que le interesen al estudiante!
Teaching methods that I use:
The Direct Method: This is done entirely in the target language. The learner is not allowed to use his or her mother tongue. Grammar rules are avoided and there is emphasis on good pronunciation.
Grammar-translation: Students learn largely by by translation to and from the target language.
Audio-lingual: learning a language means acquiring habits. There is much practice of dialogues of every situation. New language is first heard and extensively drilled before being seen in its written form.
Communicative language teaching (CLT): It enable learners to communicate effectively and appropriately in the various situations she would be likely to find herself in. The content of CLT courses are functions such as inviting, suggesting, complaining or notions such as the expression of time, quantity, location.
The Silent Way: My aim is to say as little as possible in order that the learner can be in control of what he wants to say. No use of the mother tongue.
Task-based language learning: The completion of a task which in itself is interesting to the learners. Learners use the language they already have to complete the task and there is little correction of errors.
The tasks are subsumed in a major topic that is studied for a number of weeks. In the topic of ecology, for example, students are engaged in a number of tasks which includes reading, searching the internet, listening to taped material, selecting important vocabulary to teach other students etc.
