Debating about Role Play

Hi!!

Now we are going to write about the roll playing we do in class. The roll playing was about the project of Uxue´s born. All the groups do activities in the class and we analyze the bad and good things we see in the roll playing.

The activities were about this topics:

Woof, Woof: family

Learning language: lullaby

Hizkuntzaren didaktika: food

Hezkuntza in the world: family

Ghostbusters: farm

Hi kids: parts of the body.

In conclusion, we are going to say the most interesting ideas we see in the activities:

-          Children are encouraged to participate in the exercises. For example, with the album of their family they can learn their names ( mother, sister, father, brother …) and explain to the rest of the class.

-        Teachers body- expression is very important. If the child doesn’t understand what the teacher is saying, he/she can understand easily what she wants to say by the body-language.

-       If they have the same teacher for English and the other subjects is important to look like if you were another person. This, we can do wearing a wig.

-       Is important to use different resources like images, pictures, videos, songs … In this way, the child understanding improves. For example, songs have to be short and with simple words.

-          Teacher have to be patient and have a positive character.

-      Do rituals at the beginning and end of the class, associate words with the action, and make relation between the exercises is very important.

-        The teacher has to know when it’s time to change the activity. If the children are getting bored  or the exercise is difficult for them the teacher has to change the activity or do the same activity but in a different way.  For example, If they are going to make a draw and the teacher is going to give them color pencils, they can learn and say the color they want.
