1.1 THE TOPIC OF STUDY

The purpose of English language teaching in Basic Education for students is to get

the necessary knowledge to engage in social practices with written and oral language to

interact with native and non-native English speakers by means of specific competences

with the language (SEP, !""#$ The learning process that the %ormalistas have been part

from "stsemester to &thand 'thsemesters led them building certain learning strategies that

encourage the achievement of the purpose of English anguage teaching$

The thematic line in which this work lies is the number one called )Teenagers and

their learning processes)$ *nder this thematic line the tools that were ac+uire during the

learning and training teaching process will help to implement and to analye teaching-

learning strategies and didactic skills that are consistent with the purposes of secondaryschool education$ ne of the strategies that a teacher can develop is the storytelling and it

was the chosen strategy for this work$

Storytelling has a widespread use in education because it has a lot benefits. stories

are the oldest form of teaching, in others word, is a well proof and developed techni+ue to

teach, it promotes the sociocultural learning and finally the use of stories put learners at

the center of the learning process$ /s you could see the story telling have multiple applies$

Storytelling is the oldest form of education0 without the oral tradition the

transmission of knowledge and the use of instruments, traditions, warnings, tips, laws and

customs were not formulate$ The storytelling is the way of transmitting, from the days

before writing, culture, e1periences and traditions of a society through stories, legends,

fables, myths, etc$ 2f you want you can say that it is the key to the survival of the human

species$

Storytelling fosters the learning trough the social interaction$ The socioculturaltheories of learning, such as those that derive from 3ygotsky4s research into children4s

cognitive development, foreground the role of conversation as the medium for all learning,

and have contributed to the notion that effecting teaching is essentially a 5long

conversation6(7ercer, "889#$:ecent searches into second language ac+uisitions also

support the view that the learning of second languages may be successfully mediated

through conversational interaction( 3an ier, "88;#$

The best of the storytelling is that you give to your students an unbeatable change

to take part in the teaching-learning process$ Stories give learners a chance for their

voices to be heard, you make that your students think that their e1periences are valued$

Barrett (!!;# argues that stories combine different aspects of learning pedagogy,

including. student engagement, reflection for deep learning, technology integration, and

=uring the last year of studies, from &> to '> semesters, we will become part of a

new school, this will be the clima1 of ? years of preparation, the period inside we

are going to apply all the knowledge that we ac+uired from all the observation and practiceperiods$ This year will be the one in which we will have a new kind of e1perience about

teaching, more real and fruitful$ @or this purpose we were assigned to a specific school$

The teaching work from &> and '> semester took part in the E$ S$ T$ /$ %o$ !!!"A

provide a better attention$ The hours of school are from &.! to .A!, and there are some

breaks, one from 8.!! to 8."! and other from "".A! to ".!!, those breaks were imposed

as a measure to avoid distraction and health problems created by the lack of nutrition and

care$

2nside the school e1ist some resources to improve the teaching process$ This

resources are laptops, cannons, speakers, recorders, etc$ 2nside the school there is a

policy that every teacher has their own classroom, the assigned classroom was an

e1cellent space because it give to you the freedom to used it in the best way for you and

your students, it has enough space for the ?! students that each group has, a bookshelf,

?! seats, a desk, and a whiteboard$

E+ually important is the teachers4 contributions$ This school have around ?!teachers who have different ma

1. MY RO-E AS A TEACHER

Khat is a teacher is a topic that is still debating, however there is an agreement and

is the idea that the role of the teacher has changed0 as the teachers is no longer the key

mediator of the knowledge$ Jowever the students in secondary do not build the knowledge

alone, but they do it through the mediation of others in a certain moment and in a particular

conte1t0 herein lies the great importance of a teacher0 be one of the main actors, but not

the only one, in the learning process$ /ccording with Gimeno Sacristan ("8''#.

5The teacher is the mediator between the students and the culture

through his own cultural level0 the meaning that he gives to the curriculum in

general and to the knowledge that he transmits in particular, and by the

attitudes the he has towards the knowledge or a certain part of same$ Thescreening of the curriculum by teachers produce a big amount of different

meanings$ *nderstanding how teachers mediate the knowledge that students

learn in educational institutions is necessary for a better understanding of

why students differ in their learning processes, attitudes to what they learn

and in the sharing of what is learned$ )

2t is really difficult to define what a teacher is and what he have to do, being a

good teacher and what you have to do to become one can be a big deal for new

teachers, or in this case a training teacher, but there are clear bullets where start0 the

School teacher4s pay and conditions document (=ES, "8''# says that the duties of a

teacher are.

Khen we talk about being a controller, we are talking in being the one who

laddering the class, this role is a traditional one, because is the one that is according with

the view of the learning where the teacher is in the center of the process$ This view has

been change with the past of the years, the new humanistic views of the teaching-learning

process puts students in the center of the learning$ @or instead this role have somedisadvantages like you cut down the participation of the students and, like you are always

in the same way of teaching, the class stars to be always the same affecting the

atmosphere because the lack of variety$ But being a controller is not e1actly against the

learning of students, sometimes is useful like when you are trying to recover the attention

or the order of the class or give instructions for some activities$

Being and organier inside the second language classroom means that you have totake in account all the characteristics inside the classroom to make the learning of

students more efficient and effective$ /n efficient class is where you achieve the best result

that you can obtain with the resources that you have, as an e1ample, when students are in

a group activity, you take care about the elements of the teams0 the profile of each student

to conform groups of work that really 5K:L6$

/ prompter is someone who encourage the students in a balance way that is

enough to show them the path but not too much to limit the students intervention, is like

when you ask if they were trying to say something instead of other thing, or when you said.

5/re you trying to sayM$6

@rom my tough, the best role of being a teacher is when you are a participant, apart

from laddering the activities, you also can participate in these ones$ This is a really fruitful

techni+ue, because you become an active part of the learning process, an e1ample is

when you become part of a team or take part in a role play, in a discussion or in a debate$

Sometimes is

moderate, you are trying to improve the reflection about their learning, not making a

receipt for a goof grade$

2f we want to learn we need tools and resources and one of the biggest resources in

the second language classroom is the teacher0 but first it is really important to rememberthat anybody knows everything$ So, teachers are not perfect, sometimes we make

mistakes (actually more than sometimes# but we can offered students guidance and all our

e1perience, in this case, with the language$

Sometimes, we offer our help to small groups, or a single student to guide them in

some task that needs specific steps, being a tutor implies some closure between the

participants, because the guidance is more specific and personal$ This is really common inthe secondary school, a lot of students want to talk with you in the free spaces that they

have, and sometimes these tutoring activities are not e1actly in the language learning

camp, but in the end you are providing them help for their development$

2n all the activities that our students perform the attention on their development is

primordial, because in the end, improve their skills is what we want0 so thought observing

we can realie what our students need and also what we want to improve in our classes$

Being and observer is an a important part for the educational evaluation, we have to

observer the results of what we are doing and grade our success and used this information

to improve the +uality of education$

1.2 THE PROCESSOF P-ANIN/ AND ASSESSIN/

The duties of a teacher, as we saw, are e1tensive but ones of the most important

are planning and assessing$ Planning is the way that teacher take in account all the factors

that can improve or delate the learning of the students and plan how to take advantage ofthem, and for instance is a fundamental part of the teaching- learning process$

To begin we are going to defined what is planning0 planning is a 5Mset of ordered,

systematic and widespread process for the determination of actions for a balanced and

coherent development of educationM6(/%*2ES, "8&'#0 and according with the manual of

planning("8'9# is characteried for being participatory, indicative, prospective, iterative,

integral, optional and operational$

Participatory refers to take in account to all the educational actors0 in the lesson

plan we have to look not only for being a teacher tool, it has to include the students,

parents, directives, etc$ 2n the plan the participation can be seen when environments are

include0 when we talk about the familiar and community environment we are including all

the society in our planning, then is literary and ludic environment and it takes care of the

personal interest of the students and finally we have the academic and educational

environment that is related of the school, teacher and student$

Khen a plan is indicative is saying that we have certain ob


10/14

ptional refers to the different alternatives to overcome une1pected situation, in

others words, the fle1ibility of the lesson plan to change according with the situation$

@inally we have the operative field, when we talk about an operative plan, we talk

about a plan that give good results, that works and impact in the learning and teaching

process$

%ow, all this characteristics have to be inside every lesson plan, it does not matter

the method that follows0 the PPP 7odel -- Presentation, Practice, and Production (3an Els

et al$, "8'?#, the JE Fycle -- bserve, Jypothesie, E1periment (ewis,"88"#, the 2TB

7odel -- 2nto, Through and Beyond (Brinton and Jolten, "88, the ES/ 7odel -- Engage,

Study, /ctivate (Jarmer, "88'#$

The model what 2 used at the beginning of work was P$P$P$ that is a model that

comes from the oral approach and Situational anguage Teaching, but making an

analysis, this model is more useful for the syllabus !!;, where we can see the different

situations where the language have to be performance ( *nit "$, *nit $, etc$#,

The Situational anguage Teaching is characteried, according with :odgers (# by.

anguage teaching begins with the spoken language$ 7aterial

is taught orally before it is presented in written form$

The target language is the language of the classroom$

%ew language points are introduce and practice situationally$

3ocabulary selection procedures are followed to ensure that

and essential general service vocabulary is covered$

2tems of grammar are graded following the principle that simple

forms should be taught before comple1 ones$

:eading and writing are introduce once a sufficient le1ical and

grammatical basis is stablished$

/s was said a legacy of ST is the PPP method that contained a lineal structure,

where the learning course is stopped when the student does not understand the last stage,

it means that if the student does not understand the simple forms we cannot move on$ This


11/14

method is conform by a P:ESE%T/T2% (when you present the grammar in a controlled

situation#, P:/FT2FE (it is a controlled practice phase# and finally the P:=*FT2% (the

learner transfer the structure to freer communication#$

But in recent years and with the new perspectives of teaching a language, the

model of PPP was much criticied, Koodward ("88A# writes.

(The NPPPO# model seems to be firmly rooted in the tradition of

thought springing from =escartes who believed that things should be Ndivided

up the better to study themO$ This analytic view of study is in contrast to the

growing feeling in our own time that more holistic or e"oloi"al ways of

looking at interlocking variables and systems might be healthier$

=espite his popularity and its widespread used, this method have been criticied as

being incompatible with the findings of second language ac+uisition researches, which

state that the learner does not simply learn one grammatical item after another (Skehan

"88'0 Scrivener "88;#$

/s an alternative for planning, one that is suitable with the sociocultural approach of

syllabus !"", is ES/ model$ The ES/ model born with Deremy JarmerM

/part from the planning, another important tool for teacher is assessing0 according

with the !"" syllabus the assessing of learning is the process to obtaining evidence,
