Journal = Practice of English Language Teaching

After learning about Parody and produce a parody, we make a debate involving Practice of English Language teaching.
Each group spoke about 4 topics: Speaking, Writing, Video in the classroom and Learners Autonomy


Video in the classroom: We talk about the advantages and disadvantages. There are people who use video and lyrics because the student can learn more. Sometimes, the use of video and the lyrics can be a disadvantage, because images work more than lyrics, when you talk about comprehision.

Learners Autonomy: In this topic, we talk about students who learn by themselves. These students, sometimes, can learn because they love the subject and want to learn more about it. If the teacher direct the students, they can create this autonomy. The idea of autonomy vary in each countries and cultures. We can relate autonomy to social behavior.

Speaking: In this topic, we talk a little about speaking. Students need to speak English to create a motivation, because if they do it, they can learn more. The movition is the result of the practice in class.

Writing: In this topic, we can see some rules which a teacher can use in class to teach how to write. As a teacher we can show to our students, these rules: Handwriting, Spelling (We have to take care about it), Layout and Punctuation, and Different approaches to the practice of writing skills.
