The learner as a resource

Diego Cardona Lina Sanchez

Richness, dynamic, and intelligence from learners can be the most important resource in our instruction

Learner centred environment

Leaners have to be the principal actors and have leading roles during the class

WHAT?
Interpretation and the expression of personal perspectives Diversity Output Interaction

HOW?
Cooperative learning Collaborative tasks Debates Discussions

WHY?
Such an approach increases the scope of resources for learning, validates diversity of interpretation and provides challenges for further learning and analysis Through their thoughts and experiences, students bring the outside world into the classroom.

THE PHOTOCOPIER GOWER , PHILLIPS AND WALTERS

MILADIS C. BENITEZ ADRIANA CARDONA

WHAT

IT IS A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT TEACHERS

MANY TIMES DEPEND ON

WHY

EASY ACCESS TO AN INDIVIDUAL WORK, IT PROMOTES AUTONOMOUS

LEARNING

STUDENTS CAN STORE INFORMATION FOR THEMSELVES BOTH, TEACHERS AND STUDENTS CAN SAVE MONEY BY GETTING

PHOTOCOPIES INSTEAD OF BUYING EXPENSIVE BOOKS.

YOU CAN COVER LOTS OF INFORMATION FOR LARGE CLASSES IT CAN BE MODIFIED OR CHANGED ACCORDING TO THE STUDENTS PARTICULAR NEEDS

PHOTOCOPIES ARE MOTIVATING AND INTERESTING FOR STUDENTS

HOW

TEACHERS CREATE AND REPRODUCE THEIR OWN SOURCES OR USE THOSE SHARED BY OTHER TEACHERS. SO EVERY STUDENT HAS ACCESS TO THE WORK. WE CAN USE PHOTOCOPIES TO: PLAY BOARD GAMES FILLING THE GAPS ACTIVITIES CUT AND PASTE READING ACTIVITIES JIG-SAW PUZZLE ACTIVITIES IT ALSO ALLOW STUDENTS TO WORK IN A COLLABORATIVE WAY.

IT SHOULD HAVE HIGH QUALITY, CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS AND ATTRACTIVE

IMAGES.

PHOTOCOPIES SHOULD NOT BE A FILL IN LAST MINUTE RESOURCE. IT

MUST CORRESPOND TO A WELL STRUCTURED PLAN

DISADVANTAGES

GOWER , PHILLIPS AND WALTERS

WHEN A TEACHER BECOMES DEPENDENT ON A PHOTOCOPIER, HIS/HER CREATIVITY IS LIMITED TO AN ESTABLISHED PATTERN. GROUP WORK AND WRITING PRACTICE CAN BE AFFECTED.
