Strategies and tools used by teachers for the of the fulfillment of the objectives.
educational process.

2. Have you had bad experiences in your English learning process?

The process of learning a new language brings its setbacks, on some occasions I have met
people who are very negative who do not like to learn a new language, which makes us
think that it can be very difficult to learn it.
Another drawback it faces is that the development of language learning is expensive in the
places or institutions that certify it.
In my experience as a student in school, English was developed with a book sheet, I think it
was necessary to have strategies and didactic tools to learn better.
In general I have faults in English, but I like it and I want to reach a good level that will
allow me to develop my future profession as a teacher.

3. Do you consider that a teacher can use more than one English teaching method? Why?

If I consider that a teacher can use more than one teaching method, the teaching methods
are strategies and resources that teachers apply to implement a plan, it all depends on the
topics and the environment, the important thing is that learning is improved .

4. What do you know about English teaching methodologies? What’s your favorite one?

Teaching methodology: as its name indicates, it is a method and set of tools that allow the
development of the academic program, all aimed at achieving goals and an adequate
educational process.

Lingual audio method:


It is developed by speaking and listening, where students can exchange information and
share the learning process, I think it is a method very similar to how we learn our mother
tongue.

5. What do you think should be the role of the teacher inside the classroom?

The role of the teacher in the classroom is that of guide and counselor, the teacher is a
professional companion who helps in the training of students in a certain area.
The teacher must handle some important skills such as: assertive communication,
knowledge, teamwork, helps promote self-learning, promotes positive learning
environments.
6. Why do materials used in the English classes play an important role in the teaching
process?

The materials, tools, teaching resources are all an important source to promote learning,
because not all students have the same learning style, they are also a way of supporting the
teacher's knowledge by showing students the same information with other means, it is
important because they also create meaningful learning experiences.

7. How do motivation is related to the English learning methodology applied by the


teacher in the classroom?

The relationship that I can make between motivation and the English learning methodology
applied by the teacher in the classroom: motivation is a resource that the teacher uses to
promote learning, and to apply the learning methodology, that is, it is a resource that is used
to develop the teaching process and awaken in students the interest of fulfilling their
education.

8. What are your expectations about this course?

My expectations about the courses are:

Know the methodologies that are developed in a correct learning of the English language,
also know which are the best to apply in our future work.
For me it is important to have a good academic practice, to be able to relate the concepts to
the field work.
