within these didactic strategies we find two categories:
learning strategies
Rotating chair group discussions
This strategy make students to listen in a dinamic way to selected speakers who make a summary of the topics studied previously. Students guide the class discussion by rotating roles and selecting the following speaker once and again
The muddiest point technique
This strategy is about asking students to write about specific topics that are not clear for them. Topics that are difficult or confusing to undertand
The pause procedure
This strategy is use to make pauses into classes in order to enhance student understanding. The goal of these pauses is encourage students to discuss about what they have been studying or to clarify key points covered.
Reciprocal questioning
Once students have finished learning about a specific topic, they get in couples in order to inteview each other asking questions about the topic the were learning some minutes ago. In this way, students can make a review while thinking to answer the quetions asked by his/her peer.
teaching strategies
Experiential Learning
Through the use of simulations, experiments or games students can learn by doing. These kind of activities let students to practice what they learn inmediately. Also, they can reflect and discuss about what they have been learning in the class.
Cooperative Learning
Working in a cooperative way students feel motivated to learn one from another. Also, they develop some relevant skills such as communication, critical thinking and solving problems ones.
Student-Led Classroom
Something really useful to do in the classroom in order to motivate students to learn is to get a student to be the teacher. A student could teach a topic in a very different way from the assigned teacher.
Feedback
Students need to know how they are doing through an oral or written feedback. It helps them to develop a better individual or team work.
Mistakes
This is about showing students what they should not do. For example, if you are teaching about the use of verbs in the simple present tense, you must show your students that between the sentences “he play the guitar” and “he plays the guitar” the second one is the correct because we need to add an S to the verb when using a third person in english.
Modeling
It’s about showing them in a visual way what they need to do exactly to obtain a goal.
