In your own words, explain how more interesting and innovating strategies can create a positive and challenging learning environment for your or someone’s students.

A positive and challenging learning environment could be created by taking into account the following strategies:

Ø  TALKING:

This tool is very useful because through it the teacher can gain and mantain students’ attention. Students learn English better through dialogues or conversations; that is, by communicating and speaking one another.

Ø  NOTE TAKING:

The purpose of Note Taking is to recall , for future reference, the most conspicious features in a text, learners could perform this action before having an exam or when they are about to perform an important job that could be graded.

Ø  READING:

It is one of the most important activity when learning a second language. Reading helps to inform the learner’s knowledge as well as develop their reasoning skills.

In my opinion, students should read a lot and then put into practice the readings by speaking to others in order to recall and to learn what they have read.

Ø  PARTICIPATION:

If students don’t participate in class, it would be hard for the teacher to investigate if someone has understood the lesson. Teachers should encourage an active participation of all students so that they can show their strengths and weaknesses.

Ø  GAMES:

Warm-up activities, ice breakers or other games are very useful to avoid stress or dullness in the classroom. Learners should find fun in each lesson in order to encourage them to learning.
