Theme 2 deals with language acquisition, to be a bit more specific, we will focus on the way "instruction" will help teacher developing children/ students' oral skills. We should remember some of the theories we'll have to implement (transform into classroom tasks and activities, therefore: texts and discourses. So, our basic theory is Vygotsky's constructivism, as well as the importance of using strategies associated to the different intelligences organized in Gardner's theory.  But the basic competence we reflect upon: linguistic and communication, must always have a reference to our reference Document: the CEFR Communicative Approach (identify what's the meaning of being a user, according to the CEFR). This ideas must always be the light that help us select "teaching techniques" "resources" "design mediators" and take decisions to decide techniques and steps when planning a lesson.

New questions appear:

What's a suitable text? How can I analyze the required discourse? What is a good mediator? Do I work with Public Language? How can I recognize when are my students ready to assume their Private Speech? What's a suitable Sequence? Can I imagine a complete script for an activity? A good and easy to follow planning has always a great deal of work and awareness (ideas and reasons) behind.

What's the sequence in listening and interacting? Some of these questions can be answered through these texts.



Speaking and oral interaction- strategies and knowledge:





Oral and Written SKILLS. Techniques

Along these two weeks we will work with the theories bellow. Check your resources.
