LESSON PLAN 2

 

El siguiente planeamiento de clase al igual que el anterior busca que los estudiantes desarrollen la estrategia de aprendizaje sobre trabajo cooperativo. Cada miembro del grupo tiene una función y de esta manera todos participan activamente. La lectura en la cual está basada la actividad es un mito de la región. De esta manera, el estudiante está familiarizado con la lectura y hace que a la vez que se trabaja estrategias de aprendizaje, comprensión de lectura, también aprovechemos aquellos aspectos culturales que se deben tener encuenta al momento de aprender una segunda lengua.

Tell students that when they work with others it is an opportunity for learning faster and more efficiently, it is possible they have greater retention, and feel more positive about the learning experience. In a cooperative group, every student has a specific task, everyone must be involved in the learning or activity, and no one can stay without a specific task.

ESTRATEGIAS DE APRENDIZAJE EN LA ENSEÑANZA DEL INGLÉS COMO LENGUA EXTRANJERA

Weinstein and Mayer (1986) definen estrategias de aprendizaje como comportamientos o pensamientos que un individuo enfrenta durante el aprendizaje. O'Malley and Chamot (1990) definen estrategias de aprendizaje como aquellos pensamientos o comportamientos específicos que los individuos usan para facilitar la comprensión, aprendizaje, o para retener nueva información.  

Estudios sobre estrategias de aprendizaje han demostrado que los estudiantes de una sesegunda lengua pueden beneficiarse si adquieren dichas estrategias. Chamot y O'Malley (1994) refuerzan la noción que los estudiantes quienes aprenden a monitorear concientemente su propio aprendizaje y a la vez hacen uso correcto de ciertas herramientas que faciliten su aprendizaje obtienen mejores resultados que aquellos estudiantes que no usan tales estrategias. El docente juega un papel muy importante en dicho proceso de aprendizaje. El docente puede ayudar los educandos a aprender cómo aprender, es deber del docente proporcionar las herramientas necesarias y el ambiente adecuado para asistir a los estudiantes en su proceso de aprendizaje y dichas estrategias juegan un papel muy importante en el proceso de aprendizaje de una segunda lengua.

COMPRENSIÓN DE LECTURA

El siguiente planeamiento de clase tiene como objetivo enseñar a los estudiantes a usar "el trabajo cooperativo" como estrategia para mejorar la habilidad de lectura en el aprendizaje del Inglés como lengua extranjera.

Aunque usualmente los estudiantes les gusta trabajar en grupo, esto no significa que su desempeño grupal sea efectivo, es decir, a veces se reunen tres o cuatro y generalmente son dos integrantes los miembros activos y los demás trabajan en forma pasiva. Esto se debe a que no saben determinar la función de cada miembro del grupo; por tanto se hace necesario que ellos aprendan a usar el trabajo cooperativo como una estrategia de aprendizaje.
