I was assigned to read Matthew Needleman posts.My first post was about addressing comprehension errors.I really like the post because it gave ways to get students to improved their language.The post stated how you as teachers have to find ways to help students see mistakes they use by taking in a test called the error analysis.Practice is key when having a student to see their mistakes.They have to use context clues.Matthew Needleman post a few ways to help students view ways of learning errors.
My second post I read from Needleman was about effective ways to show videos in the classroom.He says that videos should not be a treat for Fridays,yet they should be at the beginning of class. Videos shouldn't be just a way to get away from books or paper but another resource for the students.The video should have meaning behind the showing of it. When showing a video students should be involved have them to look for a particular object during the film. Also teachers should always stay alert and keep the class alert as well.The information that Needleman gave will really be mindful in my career.
I was very interested in Matthew posts and will continue to look at more blogs.He really has great work to want many to visit back for the techniques that he uses.I will recommend everyone to check out his posts.
I agree that educators should work to improve the language skills of students. It is not enough to mark up their work and point out what they did wrong. We must work with them to know how to correct their mistakes themselves. Eventually, the students will not make the mistakes at all. That is what we should want in the end. We will not always be there fort them, but we should leave them with lesson that they will never part with.
