Interview to a primary school education teacher

As future teachers, we consider essential to use each of the "skills" for the students to learn a language. We believe that is necessary to know the four "skills":
  • Receptive skills:
- Listening: the ability to receive and interpret oral messages in the communication process. It’s the key to all effective communication.
- Reading: the ability to read text, process it and understand its meaning.
  • Productive skills:
- Speaking: an interactive process of constructing meaning that involves producing and receiving and processing information.
- Writing: good writing skills allow you to communicate your message with clarity and an easier way to get a larger audience.

For this reason, we have considered interview a primary school education teacher to tell us her experience and complement our future as a teachers.

Our intervention is in preschool education, we especially focus on the skills of listening and speaking, although we all work together.

There are different methodologies for teaching English in the classroom: Communicative Approach, Community Language Learning, Silent Way, The Natural Approach, but in this case, our interviewee use in their classrooms Total Physical Response (TPR): The main teaching technique that uses TPR is the use of the imperative, based on what the child hears when learning their native language: mainly imperative orders.

It's important that teachers develop creative activities that allow us to motivate all the students.
