EIGHTH CLASS
THE CLASSROOM
1) Write a narrative telling us your learning history. Include your classroom experiences and all the actions you performed in different contexts in order to learn English.
Since I was a teenager, I always wanted to learn English. During the learning process, I observed some problems related to the techniques that teachers used to develop activities. I didn’t know much about English and everything that was given to teacher in classroom I tried to give my best. Although, teachers in that time use in classrooms a lot of repetition trying to produce a kind of assimilation. But it didn’t work. My words repetition in home and in classrooms just grow my vocabulary but didn’t make me communicate and speak fluently.

2) Analyze you learning history according to the communicative principles and tell us if there were some of its characteristics in your learning experience.

Analyzing the sites, I could perceive that functional competence was used by my teachers. By the way, it was very repetitive yet. The sociolinguistic competence there was no place in my learning process because communication, in that case, didn’t deals with interpretation of social meaning. Interacional competence sometimes was used as an instrument to produce assimilation of vocabulary without its effective propose. Cultural competence was not also observed .
