Hello everybody, my name is Pau Ubric and today I am going to talk you a little bit about my research project, which is called “We learn verbs”.
Firstly I want to explain you the most important objectives that my tutors and I proposed, then I show you the methodology, some decisions to elaborate my own material, the teaching materials, and finally I say you the conclusions I had got with this project.
Before to explain the objectives, I should say that I tried this subject because in a future I would like to study in the world of the education, and for this reason this project will be usefull for me.
Well, how I said, the principal objective of this research project was make a didactic material to learn a second language, but it entails others objectives that are: Learn about the didactic and learning of a second language and observe different materials in two classrooms of reception, for can make my didactic material with some observations.
Here, we can see the methodology that I did, and we observe that first of all I learned a little bit about the didactic of a second language with some observations in differents classrooms of reception and doing some notes about the material that the teacher use.
Then I was reading some books about the learning of a second language, and finally I did the didactic material, that consist in one material photographic and one material TIC, that it is a blog.
When I finished my observations in the classrooms of reception, I put the notes together and I see that there are a lot of children’s material, and there aren’t some material for teenager’s students, for it, I did one that can be usefull for all ages. Then I see that the majority material is about the vocabulary, for this reason I tried do one about verbs.
The students prefer informatics materials and games because are more entertaining
Now I am going to show you the didactic materials that I did. First we see the photographic material, that it consist of hundred photos with their name in other card; it have got one CD where are the 100 verbs to listen.
Then we can see the blog, that it was created for the students that would like to study in his home the most important verbs in Catalan; this blog have the 100 photographies, the pronunciation of the verb and the link that we click, it drive us to other page where are this verb conjugated. Then I do different activities for this students with one programme called “hot potatoes” that let me do a crossword puzzle, the tipical fill in the blanks exercise,... for these students.
Finally I can say that the practical and theoreticians goals have been attained; and that if I had disposed of more time for the realization of the work, I would have extended more.
But I’m happy with the work that I was doing these days.
Well, if you have any questions...?
