A practical use of the blog by the students: Marchena Oscar García
It is the practice-teaching proposal of Professor Oscar García-Marchena. Is a researcher and teacher who works in Paris. In his apecto professor teaches English at two courses Pôle Métiers du livre, Paris X : "Licence 1 - LV2 langue & Hispanique civilizations" and the "Master 2 - LV2 Hispanique langue & civilizations." In both courses proposed to use the blog as a boost for the classroom, both personally and for students.
Let's dissect: the teacher has a blog (a blog , for example) that regularly provide activities to students in their courses, that on one side. On the other hand, students will undertake such educational proposals on their own blogs that have had to create previously. All working Bloog the platform.
The proposals of Professor Garcia Marchena are varied: some of the most used formula is that of word lists .
In the first session of the course proposes to create a list of ten objects that can be found in a book. Each student must present the list in their respective towns. A motivator for students student who has "the most original ten words" will receive half a point in the final grade class. A way as any other to motivate students, but it seems to work. The types of lists proposed to the students to develop are the most varied objects found on the desk of a writer in the kitchen ... This type of activity to be competitive not only makes you motivated but are interested in lists of other compeñeras and try every week to be more original.
This is just one of the business models practiced in these blogs in the classroom. In addition to the preparation of lists are:
• writing summaries of movies as a riddle to be guessed by the other partners
• short by a practical demonstration of what can be done and offering a list of stories from which to choose the sum to be trying to write
• microstories also found
• presentation of ad , princialmemte photographs, and students must describe and explain
• submit a report of a English newspaper ...
These and other proposals are teaching that we can find in these two posts of class proposals acdémico during 2009-2010.
