Methods

Teaching methods  The two teaching methods I like the most  Communicative language teaching:  On the development of communicative competence so that students can communicate in the target language effectively and fluently in real situations without focusing solely on memorizing grammatical structures and long vocabulary lists, through practice and active teacher-student interaction using authentic materials to bring the student closer to the real context of the foreign language. Task based learning:  Through meaningful tasks that involve the real use of the language, the student is expected to develop his or her communicative skills in the development of each activity, taking into account the needs and level of the student, encouraging teamwork which contributes to motivation and collaborative learning, where the student plays an active role and the teacher becomes a facilitator of learning.

Conclusions

 Conclusions  1. I was able to recognize the diversity of tools that technology currently has available to improve education, since when used correctly they can contribute favorably to the curricular objectives to provide quality education. 2. Despite being a virtual environment, many of the activities and teaching methodologies can be adapted to a face-to-face environment so that the learning-teaching process is meaningful and engaging. 3. Through pedagogical practices I was able to recognize the importance of teacher-student interaction based on the educational process and the context in which learning takes place, to foster an environment of constant participation based on respect and empathy for the opinions of others.

Observation practice process

Imagen
 Observation practice process  I developed my practice of participant observation in a virtual scenario provided by the university, called LILEI strategy in which we could participate in the CIPAS arranged at the university and participate in the meetings of the virtual language community, mainly I made my observations in the virtual language community, a space created to practice various English language skills, for example, listening, grammar, reading, among others, to which I had to subscribe weekly according to my schedule availability. When practicing in this space, the willingness and participation was essential for the classes to be carried out productively based on the time available, likewise I had the opportunity to participate in classes with various tutors where I could learn about different teaching methodologies because each tutor had his unique way of teaching, however the use of technological tools and implementation of various activities was something that all...

Synthesis of the “Diarios de campo”

Imagen
 Synthesis of the “Diarios de campo” I developed my participant observation practices in LILEI Strategy in the virtual language community, so one of the most common points in the “Diarios de campo” filled out was the presence of virtual tools for the development of listening, reading and grammar lessons, in which warm-up activities, online games, multiple choice questions, among others, were carried out.  Where each class was taught by a different tutor, in which specific parts of some teaching methods could be evidenced, such as the Natural approach by taking into account the two forms of learning considered by Krashen, that is, acquisition through the development of linguistic competence and learning by verbalizing the forms of language, task-based learning by implementing activities that were adapted to the initial, intermediate and final moment of the session, without forgetting the communicative language learning by encouraging at all times the practice of English communi...
