LEARNING BY DOING

Red de Inglés (English Network)

As a net we were concerned about the results we had with our students, we as a Professional Group were looking for new strategies to work inside of the classroom and how some of these new activities could be taken to our student houses in order to develop their new skills, such as Learning by Doing.

Some of them sometimes think that English is a very difficult subject, not easy to learn, but here is where our work really begins. The idea of our group as a network, was to work with the different intelligences, for example, some students are good at painting, drawing, acting etc. They agreed to work with us during the breaks, out of school even in their free time (holidays, weekends etc). One of the students chosen for this activity was Paola Huerta from the Ingenio School of the city of Ovalle who helped us with the drawings of the different stories told by some of the students, stories that were worked in the classroom, first in Spanish then translated into English with the help of the teacher. The evidence of the result of this work can be seen in YouTube. These stories are very easy to understand even for small children. Right now many of them want to participate with us due to the good results and also because they want to see their work and the vision for them is different to the vision they had before, they are willing to do new things, they dare and it was our aim as a net. Finally we are very happy as a net with our work and we will continue working for the welfare of our students seeds of our great country.
