Collaborative Approach - Welcome Register 2!

 

Welcome to a new register, and also, to a new topic the "Collaborative Approach". As its name says, it is about doing collaborative work, it consists of making small groups carry out activities or learning tasks. It is procured that everyone participates and learns.

Some collaborative learning approaches put mixed-ability pairs, groups or teams together to work in competition with each other in order to drive more effective collaboration.

The Collaborative Approach is divided into three: 

• Community language learning (CLL): This is the last topic of the past register, so, in short, this method is based on support, also called "tribe" to learn, its main characteristic is that there is nothing prepared, but it flows naturally.

• Task-based learning (TBL): In this case, preparation is essential as activities are presented in the target language to build communication skills. Task-based learning has the advantage of getting students to use their skills at their current level, developing language through its use

•  Content-based learning (CBL): The team is encouraged and students are able to complete any content-based task.

These are a few ideas of each that the teacher gave us in class:

Some of the activities that can be done are:

• Listening triangles: Students make trios, in which each has a role, either the speaker, who asks the questions, and the other takes notes.

• Talk partners: Students pair up to do a small discussion activity. 

• Think-Pair-Shared: A topic is prepared to discuss with their partner and after they have discussed their thoughts, they go in search of another partner so they can share what they discussed.

Here are some photos from the first class on this topic.

Well, that would be all about my little explanation of the Collaborative Approach, I hope it was clear to understand. 💦 See you in the next entry, bye-bye! ✌❤
