INTERACTION WITHIN THE CLASSROOM

I would like to teach my subject (dispensation of pharmaceutical products, DPF) of vocational training in english.
From my point of view, the importance of ICT within CLIL classes could open new opportunities in our School Educational System. What is more, the new concept of CLIL using ICT can reestructure language programmes in schools. Not only is the CLIL an important approach in terms of interactive education, but it is also relevant for teaching among several languages and cultures interacting all together.

METHODOLOGY

As it is known, teachers who are expected to teach in CLIL classes need to be prepared to teach both the content and the language, and they are supposed to use the correct materials and resources to help students to reach the CLIL aims. Moreover, in this way ICT  can be a good support for teachers to use, in order to develop more proficiencies in many ways.

One of the main things to consider in my lessons is to use ICT(information and communication technology) due to the fact that is advancing at a great pace, and many possibilities are opening up to support my teaching and learning within the classroom. 

STRATEGIES

Regarding teaching strategies, I can mention for instance, applying technologies embedded in the curriculum, so it could add  new ways to enhance and motivate pupils in their learning.

In terms of learning strategies, the ICT can provide our pupils with a wide range of technology utilized to add value to the learning process, such as; video-games, films, songs, interactive tasks, and so on. Then, if students are involved in its use, they will construct knowledge through interaction.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

The main advantage of using interactive classes is to provide more attractive, fun and creative ways between teachers and students. In addition, the spread of its use can enhance and reinforce communicative competences between peers and teachers.

 Nevertheless, one disadvantage could be to fail preparing interactive tasks correctly and not to reach the final goal. Therefore, we  have to take into account if our students are potentially participatory for these tasks and, if the teachers have prepared classes in an adequate way.
