AUTONOMY AND ACTIVE LEARNING

I consideer myself an autonomous teacher but reconigzing that I always have to revise myself . I´m of the teachers who like changes and apply new strategies to make my students beware of their learning process. As I said before I do as many activities as I can being focused in their autonomy, also I try to make lots of reflections in which I use words like "you are here, and you choose if you want to learn or not" "everything is cause and effect" don´t expect good results when you are not giving everything of you. I think those kind of phrases make them think a lot that they are not littles children anymore.
I love my class!! I have a lot of fun with my students, I really care about their pieces of creations and work, I think is really important for them to know that you valorate their work.

The module helped me a lot. And I agree that students have to be the center not the teacher, cause they are the ones that are learning so they must take an active place in every activity proposed in class. I try to give them a lot of guideliness or instructions in order to make them more autonomous and to make them be more active in each stage of the class.

For me learning strategies are those actions that help students to reach or approach an activity.
if I use them..of course all the time, I´ll take into account that learning estrategies work better if I use them explicitly.

My conclusion would be that students more than learning they must start thinkig in english
and we must be very clear with them at the time of an instruction, when they are conscious of their processes they´ll do a big effort to give the best. Another thing the grades are not really important, the importnt thing is at the end of the year they could say I learned something new
and I enjoyed my classes and my teacher pretty much!!
