Chapter 6: Learning take Place in Social Interaction

5.- Choose two od the many activities that will lead to social interaction that you can most see yourself using as a teacher in Chile. Describe how these activities can work and why they appeal to you. p. 156-168

Since we do not find that the activities that appears in Chapter six make sense for our teaching reality in Chile we have chosen just one, Cross-Age Tutoring.

We believe Cross-Age Tutoring activity can be the most suitable for our students in Chile. Owing to that most of the students feel that they can't not succeed in life, so they are not motivated with learning. However, if they see that someone older than them is interested in what they do or think, students realize that it is possible to learn any subject and be successful in it.

Now, We are involved in a program from the Ministry of Education called "Mentoring from Abroad", where we have to guide high school students who have a higher level of English in comparison to the average students of their class.

Despite the fact that it's a new project (Mentoring from Abroad) and we don't know which will be the results of its development, we think that it will be successful because those students have already participated in "The English Winter Camp", so they are already motivated in terms of learing English. That's why we think that they will be willing to participate, and the program will work.
