153-Nari Kim ( Aileen Kim)

Think about your language learning experience in English or any

other foreign languages you have studied , what were some things

your teachers did that effective?

what were some things they did that mere ineffective?  why?

leave relate your reasons to the material in module 1.

grading is based on how well you answered the question.

I have the experience in two of foreign languages.

First one is English , second Japanese.

When I stared to learn the language, I did not know any word both of

them except “YES” and “NO” in English.

Besides I did not know any word in Japanese language.

As time goes by, however, I developed a knowledge of the foreign

languages by some effectives from my language teachers.

The first of two , in English.

I have learned English in overseas country where spoken English.

Of course the circumstance was helpful but more than that when  the

teacher taught vocabulary she showed up a card with drawn picture

related the word.

This way affected remembering and learning easier than just

remembering new words for me.

In addition, she made students include me  make a sentence with the

word and speak with imagining associated picture (situation).

I tried out of the tips given above and  I could gradually say what I

thought.

While learning English , I acquired it  much from my life of oversea

country where spoken English and helped improved my English skill

while doing homework.

I could learn English’s grammar form each sentences.

I thought that the teacher had tried to teach using many kind of

activities as played some situation like real current situation.

It could be live demonstration.

In Japanese, there were 3 teachers in my language class.

One of them is newcomer teacher. The teacher also knew subject

matters but limited knowledge of teaching methodology so when

students in our class  learned new language form the teacher

could not get exactly answer the question what we asked because

as lack of explanation, we(students) did not understand when we can

use the word or sentence or can not use it in particular situation.

In my case, I may thought  that lack of explanation (example) was

one of my ineffective thing on learning language for me.

From the my case , in my opinion , most of language teachers who

taught me have teaching method.

That were reasons , I could learned and acquired foreign languages

well easier with help than myself . In listening and speaking,

as  audio-visual presentation or group debate, in writing as learning

grammar with reading or mentoring others  in share control with

negotiated from the teachers. So I thought that visual like picture

video , audio , group discussion could affective on learning foreign

language also in order to practice homework.
