An amazing experience with IAPE
(Inter-American Partnership for Education)
January 20 - 30 2014
After our first breakfast on Monday 20th, we went to a large
classroom where the Coordinator Raul of IAPE at La Trinidad, Tlaxcala put a
video about the Rassias Method history in China.
In finishing the video we played a game, this consists in a person
passing a the center of a circle and saying: I bring, need, deliver, etcetera
an email for all people who are wearing a kind of clothing or saying a part of
his/her body. If the instructor in turn says, for example: I have an email for
who wears boots, all people have to leave their chair and move to another one.
More or less at ten I was in my first class with Joan and she began her
introduction with some words on big sheets, it was a vocabulary for a
conversation was read by Raul and he pronounced all in the text, in this moment
he repeated the complete sentence of the text, and then he divided it in parts;
we tried to memorize the phrase in order to say it. This technique we liked
very much, because it permits us to pronounce well the words and I learned new
vocabulary in this occasion.
Chiara and Mariana continued with the same text (dialogue), they changed
some tenses to practice grammar in present continuous, present progressive,
future, past and composed tenses. This drill was funny because we were
repeating the same phrase several times and we made mistakes, mainly in the
order of the words.
We finished with our day with Joan, she wrote some words as likes and
dislikes on a small sheet and gave us each one a sheet. We completed the
sentences with our personal information, and one per one read the phrases
already answered. At the end all in the group tried guessing who had written
them.
Ten days spent like wind, but always there were changes in the
activities, of course, repetition and a lot of techniques are the goal of
Rassias Method.
I think the Rassias Method for teaching and learning any language is the
best for me, today. I have never lived an experience as this one, so at the
future, my English classes must be more important to catch the interest of the
students, and for me will happen a new hoping so that I can research my
challenge as a better professor.
Finally, I want to say than… Time
flew when we were having fun!
