UNIT 14 LEARNER NEEDS





LEARNER NEEDS



It is really important to know the needs from our students especially when they are acquiring a second language in this case English. This unit is amazing because it provides some strategies to use with our students. Also, from my point of view I think that the number of learners in a classroom should be not nore than 40 because it is a great number and it is difficult to teach them it happens in public schools half of them will understand but the other half I think they do not really understand something maybe the noise or thay sit down so far. On the other hand, private schools do not have this problem because they are 15 or 18 students per each class, they take a good advantage from it. Another reason that it can cause problem to the students is the use of technology especially with cellphones , they do not use it in a good way, they use only for spend time in games, chat, applications, watch videos of their favorites programmms but never for something productive. I think that parents need to pay attention in it as soon as possible because the lack of attention in the class it will cause a damage in their learning process. I consider that interaction patterns are an excelent strategy to use with them. Furthermore, all of the students need help from the teacher to develop their skills sucessfully and motivation it is the most important factor to motivate our students to continue with their studies. It is necessary to facilitate them interesting material , according thie age, interests, personality, cultural background. If they are children, we have to use a lot of songs, games where they get involved and be familiar with the language. I will use realia, movies, funny videos, lyrics, movies as I said before according their needs.
