TASK BASED INSTRUCTION METHOD

WHAT I LIKE FROM MY METHOD
        What I like from my method is that everybody can use it. It does not matter the age the students are, because it helps to improve the learning of the target language in very important areas, such as: new vocabulary, fluency and some others. Another thing that catches my attention is that this method requires to perform real situations, like asking information, discussing statements, giving opinions about some materials like images, videos or reflections, and performing role plays. Practicing real situations is very important, because imaging some day we might have the opportunity to go abroad to a country that speaks the target language that we are learning, so we will be able to manage the situation. Also, TBI helps students who are afraid of speaking in front of an audience, and want us to be prepare when we need to speak the target language in different situations, like giving or asking an address, making phone calls or giving speeches. It is a good method because, everyday we are around real situations in which we could be involved and we have to know how to act, and how to respond.

WHAT I DID NOT LIKE FROM MY METHOD
     I think is a good method, but i think that this method is for the people that only want to speak a target language, it helps a lot because this method make the people speak performing real situations that we can be part of. In our case TBI helps us a lot, because we need to talk, but also we need to know other things like grammar, how to pronounce the words, we have to know some rules about the target language. That is why we need to use other methods in order to get information that we need to know.

WHAT I UNDERSTOOD FROM THE OTHER METHOD
What I understood about community learning is that the student and the teacher are able to interact each other, in order to have a good communication and have a good relationship, is important to have a good relationship between the group of learners and the teacher because that will help to know the things that the students need to improve and the progress that they are getting. Moreover, the students learn to work in groups to cooperate and interact between them. It is a good method, it has a lot of activities that help a lot to develop a good interaction in the class.

MY QUOTE

I like this quote, because as we know, nobody was born knowing everything, we were born like a page without letters and ready to get them, as we are growing we learn how to do, let´s say the basic things, for example: at first we start making sounds. Moreover, as long as we practice making noise, little by little we are learning how to pronounce words. 

Everything has a process, if we want to learn something we have to follow a course in order to achieve the goals that we are chasing, we should be concious that we are doing things well in everything that we want to improve.

You might have listened a phrase that says: "practice makes the master", I believe in that statement, because we have to put into practice everything we learn, for example: we are studying English and if we don´t talk using every structure that we learn we won´t improve our English, same happens in other areas, even in sports, I think it´s the best example, because teams train everyday to improve thier skills.

In education, teachers should know about their students backrounds or knowledge, in order to make sure what information the students need and what skiils they have to improve.That´s why teachers and students must interact each other to reach the objectives they have been proposed, that´s is very important, because without goals and objectives there´s nothing to look forward.

As a result, we must know that we need to practice everything we want to enhance, because practice makes masters, that will makes us know  our potential and all the things that we are good at, we have to believe in ourselves, because we are able to do anything we want.
