USING STRATEGIES AS A BEST WAY TO TEACH.
Do you think you know strategies to teach English? Nowadays the students are not interested in learn this language because they think that it is difficult to understand, but if you use the correct strategies to teach it, you will catch students’ attention and make it easy for them. According to Barncs Ochoa (2007) “English is a complex system of meaningful sounds organised with series of rules (grammar). Every student has enough pronunciation, grammar and sentences structure to understand this; it is also true that language is a form of behaviour involving the human need to communicate and to understand. Language learning involves motivation, emotions a sense of self, and a set of cultural beliefs. Language is much more than sound and words and grammar”. That is why the strategies that you use to teach English are so important in order to make easier the learning, with respect to this there are several and different teaching strategies, three of the most important are: audio-visual, effective Discussions, and working with groups strategies.
Now there are many things that can help to understand the English, strategies represent one of the tools that help the teachers to catch their students’ attention, understanding, that this language sometimes could be difficult for that king of young people that are fighting to learn their native language and also they have to learn a second one. According with teach-nology.com (2007) there are many strategies that can help you to do the English you learn the best and the most dynamic too. One of the most important strategies is audio-visuals one, that are: videos, compact disk, etc. how can you use this? In your classes, you can put videos referring to places or vacation (something that help you to break the ice) with native English speakers; it can help you a lot. You can also put music or conversations.
Generally is thought that the only strategy is audio-visual one, but it is not. Another strategy that can help you is effective Discussions, according to http://teacher2b.com/strategies/discuss.htm “therefore in-class time has to read the material in order to have meaningful class discussions. Some students become adept at listening to other students’ comments and making a general comment sound relevant to the subject being discussed without themselves first having read the material”. For that reason this strategy is so helpful to the students because they give opinions to others and share all their knowledge to make a big idea of one subject and also the students to improve their vocabulary, pronunciation, memory, etc.
Besides of those strategies there is one that is Constructing Multiple Choice Exercises, according to http://teacher2b.com/strategies/teachstr.htm “Multiple choices, true-false exercises can be easily constructed by having the students participate in their creation. Explain to the students that they will be using their notes to make up 5 multiple choice and 3 true-false questions for a test. (The more thorough their notes, the more they can review for the test and the more likely they will know other students' questions.) Teachers can take the students' questions and compile them into a test that fits the students' level of learning, gives stylistic variety, and saves the teacher time and work. [Sometimes the students' humour in the questions "lightens up" a test.] To compile the exercises, simply go through the students' questions, marking and editing the best ones and then typing them up”. Constructing these questions the students develop their creativity and imaginations making this strategy interesting.
In conclusion, strategies represent an excellent help to teach English, as Barcs Ochoa (2007) said English is no only sounds and grammar, it is more than that, because it could be an important language you can use in other countries or cultures and the use of strategies give you the correct tools. It is thought that teach English is not easy but if you get information and used it right, taking the best strategies to teach it you will do it. In addition, you can change the strategies to others that can help you more, it is depends on the stude
