4. METODOLOGÍA

All courses at ETITC are focused on the communicative approach that is based on the idea that learning
language successfully comes through having to communicate real meaning. When learners are involved in
real communication, their natural strategies for language acquisition will be used, and this will allow them to
learn to use the language. For that reason, practicing question forms by asking learners to find out personal
information about their friends is a good example of this communicative approach, as it involves meaningful
communication. Talking about activities in the classroom, students are involved and guided by the
communicative approach. This one is characterized by trying to produce meaningful and real
communication, at all levels. As a result, there may be more emphasis on skills than systems, lessons are
more learner-centered, and there may be use of authentic materials.

Videos, puzzles, hidden pictures, printable board games, flash cards, matching games among others
activities are ideal for building confidence and encouraging students to speak more in class.

Grammar activities
It’s very important for ESL students to master English grammar because it lays the foundation for writing and
speaking. Learning all about adverbs, verbs, punctuation, plurals, tenses, and adjectives can be scaring but
those type of fun activities can be useful and make lessons more interesting.

Vocabulary Games
To increase the power of language, ESL students should spend some time to improve their vocabulary. With
knowledge of more words, students will be able to understand more of the language. There are many ways
to learn more words but one of the most effective ways is through vocabulary games and activities.

Reading, Writing, & Spelling Games

Reading, writing, and spelling are essential skills for ESL students. It takes time to learn to read, write, and
spell, and it may a lifetime to perfect these skills. Nevertheless, it’s good to build a good foundation because
it will serve you well in the long run. With reading, writing, and spelling games, you will be surprised to find
out how much you can improve.

Speaking, Pronunciation & Listening Activities

A great task for ESL students in the United States is to lose their accent, and adapt to American English. This
is true for Asian students from some countries like India, Hong Kong, Japan, Indonesia, and Singapore who learn
English as a second language. Their spoken English will sound quite different from American English. In this sense,
the ESL students have to work on their speaking, pronunciation, and listening. Here are some activities on these
ESL skills
