1 What are the pedagogical strategies you are considering to
use in this face-to-face practice? Include deep description of
each strategy.
Immersion activities like speaking in public, expositions, reading text

produced by the students, all that has to do with oral production and
listening activities like this will motivate students to develop speaking
and listening skills. Vocabulary building is a good exercise and strategy
that improves student’s vocabulary. This strategy focuses a portion of
each classroom session on building a better vocabulary. The teacher can
ask students to point out unfamiliar words and go over the meanings in
class or use interactive vocabulary-building exercises that relate to the
class’s reading material.
Being in the English club makes the practice be done with students aged
16 years and older, English students which makes it a little easier than
with students from last year of school who have another attitude and
another perspective about the language.
Peer response and editing. This can be a very meaningful teaching

strategy for both the teacher and the student, and there are many peer
response strategies to try in class. Learners have the opportunity to
think critically about others’ writing and see the results their classmates
got from a writing assignment. In addition, teachers can observe how
different students learn and what strategies might work better in the
future.
Cooperative learning. This learning strategy is useful for English

teachers who incorporate literature into their classroom. Cooperative
learning requires students to discuss a piece of literature in small
groups. By allowing the students to participate in meaningful discussion,
they begin to learn to analyze literature and participate in an
educational process that they will find more interesting than a general
lecture on a chapter in a book.
2- What are the differences between didactic and pedagogy as

disciplines? Make a wide description.
To begin with, in a general way we can say that pedagogy is the

discipline that studies everything necessary to know how, why and for
what everything entails in the educational process. On the other hand,
teaching is the discipline that focuses only on responding to everything
related to the teaching process so that learning arises.
In this way, pedagogy deals with the investigation of global issues of

education, the reason for this is that it carries with it an aspect of social
benefit. Think of others and how to better bring education to more
people in a more effective way.
Didactics, on the other hand, studies the teaching-learning process

through practical methods, therefore it focuses on guiding the teacher.
It focuses more on all practical means of how to reach the student and
how it can be more easily related to knowledge.
We know that pedagogy relies on branches such as philosophy,

anthropology, sociology and evolutionary psychology. The didactic is the
one that relies mainly on psychology as well as pedagogy, but
specifically on the branch of learning.
The way in which it is shaped or carried out to obtain results is different

from one another. The didactics can be seen explicitly through a
curriculum, which in turn is carried out in the classroom. It is in charge
of delimiting the methods to be used, the strategies and the standards
of the teaching task. But pedagogy is reflected in an educational
program or project. Because it focuses on the social, it is perceived in a
general way, that is, as the social education system.
3- Describe 5 activities that you will do in the classroom in an

English class, explain the theoretical background of the strategy
and the author linked to the activity.
1. Topic says.
Only two things are used for this activity: a list of topics and a dice. A
list of topics is adapted to the level and age of your students. A list of
type topics could be:
The weather
Your family
Sports
Last weekend
Animals
Summer
Distribute the class in pairs and explain the dynamics: you will roll the
dice, depending on the number that comes out they will have to talk
about that topic for one minute, 30 seconds each. To make it more fun,
and everyone is more attentive, you can use a dice projected on a
projector.
2. The talk ball
This game is great if, in addition to your students talking, you want
them to move a little. A plastic ball of the typical beach. Fill the ball with
topics and questions, always appropriate to the age of your students.
Play music, in English of course! And throw the ball. Your students
should tie it until the music stops. Whoever has the ball at that moment,
has to see what question or topic he has under the big toe of his right
hand and talk about this topic for as long as you think.
3. Hot potato
This dynamic is super fun, especially because if you are a teacher it will
help your group to integrate, and if you are a student and you
participate in the dynamics, you can interact with more classmates and
have a fun time that you will always remember, for how great it is.
To begin, if you are a teacher or student, you should ask everyone to

meet in a group while they pass the ball very quickly (now called
“potato”), while pronouncing “Pass the ball”, and the group counts up
10. It is an agility game that will help a lot to learn to count in English
and to speak the language fluently. In this game, whoever retains the
ball loses when he has already counted to ten.
4. Story in a suitcase.
Although the name of the game is based on the fact that the elements
are inside a suitcase, they can be inside a box, surely you will find it
easier to get one!
This game is very good to introduce a topic that we will discuss during
that class. The teacher is the one who is taking out the elements and
the children who are asking.
If, for example, you are going to work for a writer, you can put a pen, a
sheet, letters in the box ... Anything you can think of! The important
thing in this game is that the students get excited and ask many
questions to discover what is or who is the mysterious character that
the class will go that day.
5. Mystery object
First, distribute the class in groups and give each student in the group a
number. If, for example, you have 30 students, you can make 6 groups
of 5 students each. Explain to your students the dynamics: you have a
mysterious image that they will have to decipher among all, how? You
will call each group number.
They will have 30 seconds to see the image, return to their group and
explain what they have seen. A member of the group will have to draw
what the student has seen. You call the next number and perform the
same dynamic: look at the image for 30 seconds, return to your group
and complete the image the first one has seen. Once everyone has
seen, described and completed the image. Together you decide what is
the most complete picture of all.
4. How is your English level according to the European

Framework? Explain some strategies you will use to help the
students to improve their English level.
My English level according to the CEFR is C1.
It is possible and even advisable to improve the level of English in front

of the television. Outside of grammar books, vocabulary cards, press
articles, intensive classes or complex formations. It is possible to learn
otherwise: watching movies with English subtitles.
Make a system of play cards: sort them by themes, word families, use
colors like important names in red, for example or make them on the
Tablet. Students have to have a rich lexicon. Allowing students
to choose their own reading materials is a strategy that literacy
specialists recommend as a way to develop lifelong readers. Students
are given a choice of literature from an age- and reading level-
appropriate book collection. After a period of independent reading,
students break into groups and discuss what they’ve read, book club-
style, followed by journaling.
6. Explain some strategies you will use to manage discipline

and bad behavior of the students.
It is normal for teachers to ask conflicting students a reason for their

behavior, as a way to demonstrate their authority. But asking why and
demanding an answer almost always ends up in resentment. And
students who disapprove of their teachers will never improve their
behavior in the classroom. So the teacher has to be firm but at the
same time understand the situation of the student. Also motivation is
important since many of the bad behavior of many student. Giving good
motivation to the difficult students will help. By arguing with difficult
students, you put them on equal terms with you, creating a situation
where "your word is against theirs." This eliminates the effects of the
responsibility that is sought, and also opens the door for the rest of the
students to start discussing with you. It is best to let in and talk later.
6. Prepare and draft 5 questions for an interview with your

supporting teacher. The questions must include the following
topics:
- Methodological strategies.
- Classroom management.
- Pedagogical advices.
What are the strategies you use in the classroom to motivate student to
learn English?
How do you implement reading in the classroom since students are not
used to read even in their native language?
How do you deal with complex grammar rules in the classroom? What
kind of didactic tools do you use?
What do you do when a difficult student wants to distract other

students?
What’s the best method to help students memorize new vocabulary?
I haven’t received the letter from my institution and I can’t do the

schedule right now.
