Fourth task :


Read the papers "Teacher Development through Reflective Teaching" by Leo Bartlett and "Reflective Teaching in ELT" by John Murphy, and make a proposal to explore the potential usefulness of Reflective Teaching as a strategy to solve one of your particular teaching problems.


According to the reading about "Teacher Development Reflective Teaching" and relating it with the problem that I identified in fourth grade, my proposal will be the following :

Mapping: It implies that I am not only to observe what is going on in class, also I am going to make a reflection about it through journals, in which  I analyze the activities that were developed in class and what were the response of my students in front them.

Informing: Here, I will discuss with another colleague about my classroom, +for this I will show my journals and some records.

acting: After doing reflection, I would take action on the implementation of music to improve their vocabulary acquisition. But, before it, I will apply a survey in order to know what other activities they would like to do.
