 Creative and attractive ways for teaching languages

Based on the article: Using Original Video and Sound Effects to Teach English by Shahla Yassaei.

Over the years, teachers have invested too much time designing different forms and methods of teaching, even though many of these contents have not succeeded in developing during the classes, for which the teachers' work ends up being in vain but why is this happening according to the text? Well, many of these teaching methods do not awaken the tastes and interests of students since many topics are boring or uncreative, this is due to the lack of interest on the part of the students and often in the low performance they have.

In order to provide an entertaining and interactive class to our students it is necessary that we design teaching methods that awaken their interest day by day and that they create a sense of doubt, that sense in which they may want to discover or develop a topic. In addition, adapting to your environment and making use of technological tools is essential to teach them in a novel way, even taking ideas from the teaching that is offered in other countries through the Internet.

Using programs your favorite television shows or what is fashionable is a way to attract students attention immediately and we can teach any subject, be it grammar, vocabulary among others. Radio can be a fundamental element to practice listening, currently learning English thanks to technology is very simple, so much so that now each teacher can create their own content as the author of this text to reflect and make a video and perform a grammar class. Finally, as future teachers we can develop our classes in hundreds of ways but if we see that a certain form of teaching does not give us the results we expect, we can change our teaching methods, teaching can be entertaining and fun but that depends a lot on the methods of teaching that each teacher applies and develops during the content of a class.
