The Mistake Circle

by Jazmin Montoya Salazar

In all the visits in secondary school, I had seen a lot of problems with the teachers have to resolve respect to their teacher practice into the classroom.  The ingredient of these problem can to have influence with the missing motivation in the planning. The major problem is that the teacher build the class with unusual components that don´t have relation with students interests, likes or dislikes, which result we´ll have a bad attention by students, and our class don’t be successful. I saw a very good dynamic that we can use to teach students with missing attention, because they have to involves with the activity if this doesn’t happen they can´t answer the questions.

They have to put their chairs in circle and listen the teacher.

The teacher say a word for example “beatles” (we can use sentences or anything, that be useful to the topic that we´ll teach”.

Teacher just tell to one student and the student have to pronounce the word if that is correct the student to tell the word to the text classmate.

If the word is bad the teacher crouches a bit, and tells the word again. If the student makes the same mistake, the teacher now squats next to the student that have to repeat again, if the final the student makes the same mistake the teacher have to use to the next student and if these makes again the mistake the teacher have to repeat again, to all the group.

That is very useful to small groups to teach vocabulary or tenses that it depends to the teacher creativity.
