ReplyDeleteOne thing I've learned is that we can mingle different methodologies together.
I'm still struggling with putting these methods into practice and lesson planning.
I plan to explore further more techniques for using these methods and approaches in order to make me professional teacher.
Thanks Magda for being the first to share your reflections on the teaching methodologies workshop.

ReplyDeleteOne thing I have learnt is that there is no flawless method .Making good use of others experiences and integration between the different methods might help teachers achieve their targets.
I'm still struggling with identifing the differences and similarities between the different methods.
Thanks Rehab for sharing your reflections. Looking forward to hearing more from others.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I've learned that identifying and recognizing methodology where i did'nt know any thing before about methods in teaching english language.
ReplyDeleteI am still struggling with how to differenciate between every method or approch ,also it is not clear the weakness of some methods or most of them to me.
One thing I've learned is that "The more you know,the more you feel that you don't know". knowledge is infinite. The best way is to mingle these methodes of teaching and apply them effectively.
ReplyDeleteI'm still struggling with identifying the weaknesses of each method.
Nice reflections Rawaa... I can't agree more... Marwa ... use your gut feeling and common sense about the potential weakness in each teaching practice... nothing is fool-proof ... nothing is perfect ... remember?
ReplyDeleteone thing I learnt is that you need to know your learner's needs and capabilities to diversify your approach.
ReplyDeleteI'm struggling with identifying certain features for some of the methods which seem to be similar in more than on aspect.
One thing I learnt is it can never be too late to apply sth new
ReplyDeleteI'm still struggling with the most suitable way to lead my teachers apply these methods in real class
Mostafa ... great point ... it's all about learner needs and capabilities... you need to tailor your approach to cater to that... never mind the detailed features ... i agree there are overlaps ... never let this bother you ... stick to the main distinctive features.
ReplyDeleteAbeer ... it's never ever too late for anything.... where there's a will there's a way... good luck ...
I learnt that whatever the method is, good lectures must be built on four principles:
ReplyDelete1- Knowing and responding to the background knowledge of the learner.
2-Having a clear understanding to material is valuable in being able to explain it to others.
3-The physical design of the room and the placement of students.
4- To understand how students differ in their approaches to learning.
# What I'm still struggling with is to know the value of taking actions, even if my actions are flawed and not perfect.
# I plan to explore further in doing
everything I can to increase and expand my desire for success.
Great reflections indeed "expand [the] desire to success", "students differ in their approaches to learning", and "value of taking actions".
ReplyDeleteDefinitely these are the keys to being an interactive teacher...
Looking forward to hearing more.
One thing I learned is that no single method can guarantee successful results. The skilful teacher is the one who has the ability to tailor different methods according to his students' needs and according to their different learning styles.
ReplyDeleteI am still struggling with the features of different learning methods.
I plan to read more about teaching methodology.
Great thoughts indeed "no single method" can work for all. The key is variety and diversity. "The ability to tailor" is of paramount importance.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to hearing more insightful thoughts.
One thing I learned is that teachers need to compromise and vary their teaching methods.
ReplyDeleteActually speaking,I am still confused about the strengths and weaknesses of every method.
I intend to give myself more time to know all the details about teaching methods.
one thing I have already learnt is that teaching is not built on a specific methodology,it mainly depends on the teacher's creativity and on the students' abilities.
ReplyDeleteI am still struggling to differntiate between the various methodologies.I plan to learn more about the best ways in teaching.
