Like in the video it is said, we do not have to exclude them (this is a must). I have students with disruptive behaviour and something that helps me a lot is to work in groups. All students like to help their classmates and by doing this we can integrate that student and make them learn and stay in the course of the lesson. Sometimes is incredible to see that particular student very concentrated and doing the activities. It is a difficult task for teachers but not impossible!<br /><br />Camila CarballoCamila Carballohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11520714589158372909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3961368537859797974.post-87349087340203689512023-06-30T16:25:51.616-07:002023-06-30T16:25:51.616-07:00Helping Prospective EFL Teachers Learn How to Use ...Helping Prospective EFL Teachers Learn How to Use Songs in Teaching Conversation Classes By Natalia F. Orlova.<br /><br />I think that learning a language through music is a very fun and easy way to practice intonation, vocabulary, rhythm, stress and writing skills. Music helps train the brain to recognize foreign language words and sounds, because we can hear different accents and pronunciations in music in songs. It is a creative way to learn, and there are many activities that can be implemented in the classroom with students. I agree with the author when she says that learning with music is very popular among young students. I used to have a teacher at school who would give us some activities with music to do in his classes, and that was my favorite task, I really enjoyed it.<br />I find the model of speech development through songs that the author gives in his text very interesting and useful to do in class.<br />Lorena Gasko Oriznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3961368537859797974.post-64465026992674098932023-06-30T15:22:01.244-07:002023-06-30T15:22:01.244-07:00We, as teachers, have to be prepared to confront t...We, as teachers, have to be prepared to confront this kind of conflict. It’s not easy but it’s not an option to give up on a child with challenging behaviour, after all that’s what we are learning here. It’s always a good idea to include them or to have activities in which they feel included. Also have the ability to improvise and adapt in the case the planned activity is not working with them. We need to make them feel safe, if they feel safe they’ll be more relaxed and willing to learn <br />Enzo Carrizohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01732159579539990855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3961368537859797974.post-43139076557616990792023-06-29T20:06:13.421-07:002023-06-29T20:06:13.421-07:00The strategy of "No punishment" is the o...The strategy of "No punishment" is the one that caught my attention, because i actually think that nowadays children dont care about punishments and i think its better to offer them any type of reward if they at least show some interest in the lesson or if they respect the classroom rules. <br />After watchingt the video I realized that the most important thing we can do to prevent children from being excluded of the society is to see them not only as students but also as persons, who have different backgrounds and less skills to deal with different issues. We need to show respect to them and create a bond of trust.

He argues that music has the capacity of engaging children in the first “oral experience” as they need to listen to repeat then. Here we can establish a strong comparison with the language learning process.<br /><br />Considering the nature of music he adds that abstraction is not a disadvantage, on the contrary it offers the chance to understand sounds in our own way. Music evokes different responses in each person as it doesn´t describe nor narrate. It evokes, suggests, opens up the mind of our learners. This characteristic of music offers children the chance to move into a special world of thinking.<br /><br />Then he clarify that the most important thing about music is not to repeat but to create our own music. This is another similarity I can see with the language learning process, as we need to receive imput firstly to move forward and be able to create our own “messages” later.<br /><br />Every little child has the capacity of singing, by singing is how we teach them to be literate. Finally he insists that music beyond all these benefits is worth teaching for its own sake, because its good, unique and empower children spectacularly.Facundo Romeronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3961368537859797974.post-18747791960030822692023-06-29T19:47:00.264-07:002023-06-29T19:47:00.264-07:00I think we should make our best in order to prepar...I think we should make our best in order to prepare engaging classes, create a good atmosphere in our classrooms and give our students positive feedbacks. However we must remember we are not going to change the material conditions in which our learners live. We live in a world based on exclusion and it's beyond our possibilities to change it. So we must deal with this kind of "contradiction" of working inside the educational system which main principles regard being "inclusive" and at the same time to live in a system which main rule is to divide people according to what they have, excluding those who don't have, no matter what they need.Facundo Romeronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3961368537859797974.post-16192997479181551602023-06-29T19:06:47.574-07:002023-06-29T19:06:47.574-07:00I think that the idea that I most like in the vide...I think that the idea that I most like in the video about challenging with disruptive children is the one about the effect of positive relationship between teacher and student.

The research article highlights that teachers should be equipped with strategies and techniques to address different types of student misbehavior, such as talking out of turn, not following instructions, or being disrespectful. This emphasizes the need for ongoing professional development and training for teachers to enhance their classroom management skills and create a positive learning environment.<br />Teachers should regularly reflect on their classroom management strategies and seek opportunities for professional development. Continuous improvement and learning can help teachers enhance their skills in managing disruptive behavior.<br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
