Class 26-IX-2016
Aword first on the outcome of the last follow-up:
After analysing the results of the last follow-up, I conclude that you need to adjust the studying procedure you follow in this course.
A high percentage of you ended up being just above or below the passing mark; only a few passed and many absent students add to this grim picture.
A further conclusion Ana and me perceived is that the amount of time you listen to the audios AND record yourselves AND evaluate your own performances, is far from enough - which is reflected in your oral production.
The elements that lack are precision in the souds we have already worked with, most of which were corrected and you were guided on how to hit right on them; the linking up of words in the connected texts - after all, speaking is made up of words combined together into a swift and carrying way for the ear; the marking of prominent words and the immediate influence on the rhythm of your speech - this is gained in the first step through immitation of the audio, and later on, by your own pre-analysis of the text to work with, with the prediction of these peaks of prominent words which will mark the rhythm of the passages or dialogues.
These are the steps we´ve been transmitting to you from the very beginning of the year. By this time, there should be evidence that they are being incorporated... This is not the situation by far.
Being a fluent English speaker in other situations than Práctica en Laboratorio de Idiomas I, is not enough to master the tasks we expect in this course. This course goes further than simply communicating in English - the aim is more professional than this. You´re training yourselves and studying to become outstanding professionals in the teaching profession, not just speakers of English.
Next class - 26-IX-16
A.- To evaluate how you apply the guidelines detailed above, next class class bring in a pendrive or any digital media that can be connected to a netbook (so, take good car of bringning the necessary wires to connect both devices) the following dialogues of the 2nd part of the term:
7. In the Library (page 3) and
11. A Sore Throat (page 5)
In the same way in which you´ve prepared the text for the follow-ups.
By the way, I´ve checked the links to the audios posted in the 2 previuos post and they work wonderfully.
B.- Bring your headsets since they´ll be used intensively.
See you all next class.
