Avui he entrat als seus espais Moodle per veure com anava la seva activitat. He rebut unes quantes redaccions en línia per ser la primera vegada que ho fan. També els havia demanat que fessin servir el blog dins de Moodle com a espai de reflexió sobre el seu aprenentatge. La meva intenció és d’alguna manera convertir el grup d’alumnes en una comunitat de pràctica, potser sóc massa ambiciós, no ho sé! Hi ha alguns comentaris ja penjats i expressen el que pensen de les classes que hem fet fins ara d’una manera bastant honesta. Estic content. No vull tractar aquests comentaris ja, sinó veure com respon la resta. Per demostrar el meu compromís amb la classe i el que demano he començat jo també a escriure dins el meu blog de Moodle les meves impressions sobre el que ja portem fet de feina.
Reprodueixo a continuació el que he expressat:
Last day in class we were dealing with the differences between Past Simple and Present Perfect. Everything seemed crystal clear and I thought it was going to be a revision topic easy to go though. However, everything changed when we started seeing some examples in which both tenses were possible (with a change in meaning) regardless of the temporal expression we were using. We got into the issue of the nuances of language, and that it is not so easy. It really annoys the students when they think they have learnt the ropes of a rule, and then something utterly contradictory shows up.
As a teacher it is difficult to convey something that to you comes naturally because it has been previously internalised. I tried to make clear again the differences between time and tense, and at the same time draw the pictures of the time line I've been doing all my life.
In the end I think most of them understood the differences, but they need to spend too much time trying to analyse every case before the utter a response.
We might need to go back and forth on this issue here!
