FOREIGN LANGUAGES

We Believe Our Students:

• Must explore different aspects of culture

• Develop cultural awareness of the language being taught

• Should attempt to pronounce the sounds of the target language as correctly as possible and to tune into the melody of the sentences

• Should see the “textbook and CDs/ tapes” as a guideline to learning the language
  
  
  Favorite Assignments:
   

• Role Play real life situations

• Drama-hypothetical situations role playing

• Dialogue-about real life situations

• Question and answer-students in the classroom learn by showing evidence in formation of answers

• Creative Games

• Decision Drama

• Presentations
  
  
  These support student learning through:
   

• Risk Taking

• Development of self-confidence

• Communicative competence
  
  
  What Frustrates Us:
  
   

• The students' busy lives: work, social, family…placed in priority to their studies

• Unable to provide adequate motivation for students' learning

• Lack of interest (effort) to acquire target language

• Lack of learning skills
