Learning Styles and Strategies


Hi there! 

How are you? What are you doing? I'm drinking a not so much delicious cup of tea with lemon haha. I have a little cough so I decided to treat my voice and throat more nicely haha. Take care of yourself, spring and allergies are coming!

Well, this post will be about a briefly introduction to"Learning Styles and Strategies" since we haven't started with the topic in deeper yet. The following video starts with a very nice piece of advise: "Understanding the different styles and strategies will help you find your strengths and help you learn more." Here, we will find information about the following themes: left and right brain dominance; different kinds of learners, such as visual, auditory and kinesthetic learners; language learners' need of the 3A's (Autonomy of learning with others, Awareness of their own processes of learning and Action with strategies available) and also categories of learning strategies: Metacognitive, Cognitive Socioaffective, Avoidance and Compensatory. 


Hope you find the information of the video really useful and helpful. See you! ♥

Hiya!

Today I want to tell you the reason why I have chosen this title for my blog. It didn´t take me so much time to think about it since it is one of my favourite phrases. When I was young I used to be a very shy person (yes! believe me haha!) and afraid of everything. One day I decided to let that person fly away and started taking risks... why not? That was my first question. Go ahead! No matter what people may say. Live your life as you like. There is no point in being ordinary... why not extraordinary? or just you. Believe in yourself, love what you do and challenge yourself every day.                   JUST JOKING ツ ↷

How are you? I hope you're enjoying this cold weather. I love it! ♥  Well, the other day I explained to you the reason why I've chosen that name for my blog. Today, I decided that it would be a great idea to introduce you my family. We are a lot of people in this tribe haha. So, I'm going to show you some of them.  Here we have mum and dad. They are Monica and Carlos. My mum is forty-five years old and she looks like my sister rather than my mother. She is a  really beautiful woman. Besides, I don't have any brothers or sisters. Let's continue... my dad is fifty and something... I don´t remember very well haha. He isn´t my biological father, but he is together with my mum since I was eight months old. So, for me he is my REAL AND BELOVED DAD. In this pic, we were celebrating the arrival of this new year. Next please! haha. Ohhh, it's very difficult for me to talk about these people without crying since they are everything for me. I can´t explained

Four Methods

Last class at the prof, we made a rewiew of different methods and approaches. However, this post will be only focused on the Four Methods. The first one is COMMUNITY LANGUAGE LEARNING. It is also called counseling- learning theory. On the one hand, the teacher operates in a supportive role, monitors learners' utterances and provides assitance when requested. She/He acts as a counselor and paraphrases what the students say. On the other hand, students work together, listen to the teacher attentively, repeat target utterances and sometimes become counselors of other learners. The second one is THE SILENT WAY. In this method, students need to develop their own "inner criteria" for correctness. They should be practicing the language, not the teacher, so she is mostly silent. In addition, errors are important and necessary for correction. The teacher uses charts and rods as tools and encourages the learners to have an active role in learning the language. Finally, stu
