INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO LANGUAGE TEACHING

The phrase “innovative approaches to language teaching” means that new methods are introduced in teaching during a lesson in the class. Teachers can find many resources (projector, laptop, videos, speakers, labs, CD, TV.) that technology has helped to improve with in all the innovation that is found nowadays. The source that is in websites, for example, in productivity and the creation of materials to be used in the classroom to develop a lesson is to improve the quality of the lesson in which the students have the opportunity to grow in several aspects of life and learning. Also, it is important to mention that using innovation in class the cultural aspects, as well as, customs, idioms, and social factors can be introduced to students to learn and to illustrative new environments that can be unknown and the experience and knowledge they can get from other countries will be important.
The systematic and socio cultural factors affect the implementation of innovation It has improved the level of economical significance. As a resource it has to be with innovation of materials, books published online, learning methods, and also sharing materials, ideas, and methodology. If teachers get involved in a system in which they cannot explore, discover, feel motivated, and their ideas are not shared, then the lesson will be so magisterial and the student will loss the opportunity of expressing.
Other factors that are considered that can mediate the possibility of change is the syllabus and MEP, because it is so clear with the objectives that must be covered during the school years. Most of the time, the innovation is not allowed because of the explicit and strict objectives teachers have to follow. Even though, teachers are pushed to innovate to create materials. In most high schools in our country innovation is a tool that can be implemented when the teacher brings her or his materials and use them in class.
The interest of parents, first of all, to implement new ways to use technology is very important. For example, the students can present a homework making use of internet, e-mails, or memory data cards which are also a good way to complement in the class and help the nature because will reduce in high amount on pollution and waste or resources as paper.
Nowadays educators are fewer optimists in regard to innovation in education because of the economical situation the teachers face. In this way, technology is very expensive and the government does not supply schools with technological resources to innovate and improve in class.
The schools must be interested in acquire and supply of technological resources such as computers, projectors, internet access. With this it supports to the teachers to use innovation in class giving facilities which are some of the things we use to teach in our lessons.
In fact innovation is a tool that is used by many professionals in the field of education because of the facilities regarding to planning, grammar exercises, materials, videos, listening exercises, and flash cards, for example that help in the teaching and learning process. Actualize teachers and make them develop skills to succeed in the class.
The approaches that can be focused in the needs of adult learners are the Task Based, the communicative approach and the total physical response. Because these approaches help the student to acquire vocabulary, spontaneous participation, and the student have the opportunity to improve in all areas at same time is learning and be motivated because the goal for adults is to communicate quickly in areas they feel need to be developed and have mature ideas about the language.
The innovation promotes the process of syllabus giving to students and teachers facilities to develop the class and improve the quality of it. Through innovation the lessons are more communicative and participative. The knowledge students acquire and forcing them to use technology to work with in the class. To vary the system not turning it as monotonous as it is sometimes because of the MEP’s syllabus.
Some factors that can impede the learning progress in target language are: the economical. Many students feel that because of the bad economical situation they face they cannot use resources and must accept what the teacher brings in to develop the lessons. The society sometimes reject people because do not have the opportunities before of improving and nowadays people must be aware of technological advances and skills to work with it. Parents lack of interest in innovation. Some parents do not agree in new methods so they prefer the antique was of teaching pointing that are cheaper and force students to memorize. The motivation is very important. If the class is dynamic the students feel much better with in the process of learning. Students love when they are acting and improving and see reflected their results as positive goals.
The aspects propose the natural approaches are to introduce three kinds of activities while developing a lesson which are the pre-production, production, and speech emergence. The pre-production consists of listening activities to understand by contextual guess, visuals, and mimes, as an example. The production is originated when the student recognizes a big amount of vocabulary and starts making questions. The speech emergence is when the students use games and so on in which the participation becomes part of the lesson. They can ask and give information regarding to any topic in class.

Some factors that can affect the curricular innovation are the infrastructure of schools, lack of interests from teachers, parents, students, and authorities of education. Some other factors can be the poor resources that are faced by teachers, students, and schools. Another factor can be when teachers feel stressed when they have to use technology.

The ninety percent (90%) of the students believe that some situations that can affect the student’s motivation are the interest the teacher put on them and their personal problems. Another important observation here is that the students consider that motivation from the teacher is very important as well as the attitude of the teacher. The other five percent (5%) points that the student interest in learning is more important than other factors.

Teacher´s attitude.



For students is very important the attitude of the teacher. Since early years students spend long hours among teachers. They are going to learn from them not only grammar, oral skills, and filling boring practices everyday. Students have trust and confidence on teachers. The expectations that they have on the ones in charge in the academic education are, in fact, high.
Students like and share the idea of having dynamic lessons in which they can express themselves at the same time they learn a new language and the only idea to have communication and develop skills in another language which is not the mother tongue awakes the interest on them.
Some students need to learn a new language and put in practice it because they plan to have a major, be professionals, and succeed in their life. Here is where teachers play a very important role to them. If the teacher is not convinced that this is what he or she really wants to do the motivation that the student gets from is transformed in disappointment. most of the time if the lessons in class are turned boring then students loss the interest and see their dreams frustrated and begin to misbehave, their inertest is lost, and most important teachers that work with them after some time will be in trouble trying to get their attention and catch it back.
The important thing is to improve techniques, help students, and innovate in the class. As many teachers interact and develop their skills better results we are going to

Anne Sullivan Comment...
Anne Sullivan

She was such a great teacher. Anne was so dedicated and challenging lady. As a teacher is known as "the miracle worker". She faced visual problems caused by his alcoholic father who was aggressive. Since Anne was a girl, loved to study and when her father left her in the orphanage house asked for the opportunity to go to school and learn.

She was a passionate woman for her job and tenacity of helping people with physical disadvantages, gender or low class. (Poverty)


She was a model for many others and admired as a teacher. She also had to face critics and bad treatment of those who thought her work was based on doubts and misunderstandings related to the relationship Anne had with her student Helen Keller which was surrounded by controversy.
Her legacy is very important because of her stubborn behavior she reached many objectives in her life and her dedication for Helen who was a wild child blind and her terrible education.
She demonstrated that no matter your life was as child anyone can make the difference and improve. Growing up not only as person but as profesional.
