Body Language




Yara’s presentation was about body language. This topic is very good, because as teachers, we can give good or bad signs of what we are talking. As Yara said our body is a teaching tool, is not necessary to say the translation of a word if we can demonstrate its meaning trough our body. In some cases it must sound weird and goofy but it depends on the teacher what teaching strategies he or she wants to use.
On the other hand there are some body movements that are useful in the classroom, for example giving eye contact, nodding and smiling, and walking around the room among others. In relation with her performance was good, funny videos, but I do not think it was a micro-lesson, because she talked most of the time, and we were sitting watching at her, without a real activity just some comments of what she was talking
