Getting students to participate in classroom - week 12

RATE: 4

Student’s participation is a way to have interaction between teacher-student. The article for this week discuss about a variety of benefits that come from student participation. These were the best for me:  Participation adds interest. Students can give their opinion about a topic, due to hear another point of view help to a better understanding and engages students. Participation can be use to develop important speaking skills because this gives the opportunity to the students to practice using different vocabulary.

The second article explained 2 ways to increase student interaction the first one is called think-pair-share which is a technique that gives to the students, time to process their thoughts and this a benefit for them, because they learn to reflect in their answers, also this is a benefit for teacher, because this gives the chance to discover if his students understand the topic. The second one is called circle chat this is an activity in which students share their opinions about a question or topic, students are changing pair and talking with different classmates. This activity changes the traditional dialogue. Teachers have the learning process in their hands, therefore they need to design activities that really help students to improve their skills
