How can we create the wonderful classroom atmosphere?
|
| a. |
Changing the physical settings; |
| a.1. |
having a colorful and bright classrooms, |
| a.2. |
using the classical music, |
| a.3. |
using the costumes and colorful clothes, |
| a.4. |
making different seating arrangements to enable the
interaction between the learners, |
| |
|
| b. |
Considering the Affective Factors; |
| b.1. |
having a motto or different greeting sentences to motivate
and encourage the learners, |
| b.2. |
having a new identity in order to make the learners
more risk takers,
(Suggestopedia; LOZANOV, Georgi ), |
| b.3. |
Pair and group work activities. (Gattegno, Caleb. 1972-
Silent way); |
| b.4. |
experiencing the imaginary life in the classroom, |
| b.5. |
Using rhythmic repetitions in the classroom. |
| b.6. |
instead of being the authority of the learning process,
behaving as a language counselor means someone
who is a skillful understander of the struggle students
face as they attempt to internalize another language.
By understanding students’ fears and being sensitive to
them, S/he can help students overcome their negative feelings
and turn them into positive energy to further their learning.
(Counseling &Community Language Learning) |
| b.7. |
using more attractive words instead of the repulsive
/cold usages such as homework and exams in order to lower
the affective filter of the learners, (Affective Filter
Theory; KRASHEN,Stephen;1985) |
| b.8. |
The input “i” should be slightly above the learner’s
current knowledge “i+1”. The language the students
are exposed needs to be understood by them in order not
to frustrate students with a heavy load of things to be
learned. (input theory; KRASHEN,Stephen;1985) |
