lessons
To get everybody to participate equally, we need to go beyond just the physical integration of students, starting with the rights. It's about welcoming diversity and not just having students and their rights.
It's making this diversity a rich learning resource, so bearing this definition in mind, it's about taking advantage of that diversity and welcoming it, using it as a learning resource to create inclusion.
When we think that we are doing our best, trying to make sure that all of our students can participate, let's see what can get in the wrong way our students:
A constrained time generates fear.
Physical obstacles and barriers.
Scare of giving the wrong answer or to make a mistake.
Students with various specific Educational Needs or with a disability.
Students with deficits in their executive functions have an impact on their performance.
Lack of motivation.
Lack of self-esteem.
Scare of judgment or prejudice.
Being a teacher, I have to make sure I am working on something meaningful for my students: something that is related to real life, to their life, so their work on skills is transferable to real life, and this motivates students a lot more than working on pictures or videos or stories about something that they don't know.
Working on something they don't know could create insecurity, fear, and a lack of motivation in students.
I strongly believe in digital education, even more in language learning. I love reading stories and showing photographs to students. But before all this, I must establish a pleasant relationship with them; they must trust me; I must know their world to generate the ideas, material, and ways to interest them in what I teach them.
Their insecurity, even my insecurity, could discourage them. Fear, insecurity, and bad feelings always frustrate the students; it makes them want to distance themselves from the subject and the professor who generates discomfort in them.
Conversation lessons:
Basically, I use drama techniques or story readings.
Before all, theatre, like stories, is a matter of self-known. So, first of all, you must know who you are and what you want.
Theatre, like stories, needs love, passion, dedication, patience, understanding, trust and much more.
Theatre is not a pose, but an emotion, an idea, or a feeling you want to participate in.
Grammar lessons:
Since grammar is often dull and hostile, I recommend 30-minute meetings twice a week.
