Aticle # 3 of Benefits and Strategies of Communicative Language Learning

The article # 3 which speaks of Benefits and Strategies of Communicative Language Learning I find interesting and I share the opinion of the author Paul Overland on strategies and techniques discussed here. In the classroom we have all kinds of students and not everyone learns the same way. Besides the influence of the environment plays an important role in the process of second language acquisition. As the first technique, about the private dialog I understand that various aspects such as environment and teacher, achieved in the child, the private dialog. In the present the teaching of English as a second language its very structure when it should be a more functional. Using biographies, prints of the child items of interest will motivate students to express themselves. The teacher should be a guide in the entire process; the environment should be appropriate and coherent support to the language that is expected as a goal. At the end of all these components, the child takes control of the activity.

                In the second technique I identify very much with it. The problem we have, most Puerto Ricans is that when we express ourselves in a second language we are thinking in the maternal language. We make a kind of translation in the mind, which blocks us at some point. For this reason, do not show the correct fluency to speak. When you translate constantly accuracy will not reach too.

                The last technique that presents the article caught my attention more. I believe very much in the multiple intelligences. It is sad and lamentable that we leave overlooked in our classrooms. Many times we are focused on the traditional method of teaching, memorization through visualization when we have children that their learning environment may be through the hearing, movement, execution, etc. This is an excellent technique for hearing student’s intelligence. The songs are the way of transmitting the message or concept that we want implement in the students Songs can be an aspect stimulate, motivate and entertainment for the child. I think the education should be fun and functional for the student no less precious structuring.

In summary, the article is a good and useful for us, the teachers of today.
