Week 3 class reflction

Reflection on what we did and learned in the class
Theory and Methods of TESL week 3After having done the readings, I learned some useful ideas about L1 and L2 acquisition and some theories about diversity among English language learners and ways to successfully deal with them. However, there were some points in the reading that I could not notice while reading the texts. The activities we did in the class after the presentation and the game helped me understand some part of the readings that I didn’t understand or noticed while reading. I liked the group work because when we were discussing the task, I learnt some important definitions of the hypothesis such as Krashen’s ‘monitor model’. Moreover, the variety of activities had good impact. One, it prevented students to get bored. Second, it reinforced the readings. Finally, before the end we shared some of our experiences of the second language Learning relating to Affective Filter Hypothesis.
