1. Teniendo en cuenta la retroalimentacin entregada de tu clase

grabada, qu aspecto en particular consideras necesario
mejorar con el motivo de perfeccionar tu prctica pedaggica?
De acuerdo a los visto y tambin reflexionado, creo que el aspecto que
ms debo mejorar en relacin a las clases dentro de la sala, es el
comienzo de la clase, como introducir el tema y tambin como abarcar
los tpicos sin que pase a ser una clase enfocada en la gramtica si no
que sea enfocada en un enfoque ms comunicativo.
2. Cmo planeas mejorar este aspecto (e. g. implementando
estrategias nuevas)? Refirete a la literatura y detalla lo que
los autores sugieren para tu foco de perfeccionamiento.
If students are engaged, if theyre genuinely interested and involved in
whats going on, the chances are that theyre going to learn an awful lot
better because theyre not just doing what they have to do because theyre in
school, theyre also actively involved in whats going on. (Harmer. 1983) In
relation to the beginning of a lesson, Robertson. (2000) state that warmers
activate students brains and also switch to prepare them to a second
language class. The previous authors, state that a warmer should be an
interesting activity to encourage the students to use English, also these
activities should be short activities, they should not be a dominant part of the
lesson. Moreover, do not necessarily have to be connected with the target
language of the lesson and its main purpose is to get the students ready to
study and work in English.
In relation to strategies used to begin a lesson, Darling-Hammond, L., &
Sykes, G. (1999) demonstrate different techniques that are helpful to begin a
lesson regarding the preparation and motivation of the students. In this
regard the first technique is related to drawing. This technique is to draw or
show an image connected to the topic and ask question about it. In the same
line, showing a sentence or a text to the students may activate previous
knowledge and also helps to elicit reactions and vocabulary. Personalization is
also a strategy which is highlighted by the authors, telling students an
anecdote or story may engage students to the class and also to the topic

3. Reflexiona acerca del impacto que tendr la mejora de este

aspecto en tu prctica pedaggica. Cmo te beneficias t y
cmo se benefician tus alumnos con esto?
Creo que mejorar este aspecto beneficiar como funcionen y se den
mis clases, es decir, determinara la efectividad de la clase. Poniendo
ms atencin en la planificacin del principio de la clase har que los
estudiantes puedan tener ms inters en lo que se quiere ensear y
por consecuente, su participacin podr ser mayor durante la clase. De
esta manera creo que el aspecto que tengo que mejorar, ayudara a
mejorar el desarrollo de la clase, el inters de los estudiantes y a largo
plazo puede que ayuda al rendimiento de ellos.
