“Innovate approaches to language teaching”

The phrase “innovative approaches to language teaching” means that new methods are introduced in teaching during a lesson in the class. Teachers can find many resources (projector, laptop, videos, speakers, labs, CD, tv.) that technology has helped to improve with in all the innovation that is found nowadays. The source that is in websites, for example, in productivity and the creation of materials to be used in the classroom to develop a lesson is to improve the quality of the lesson in which the students have the opportunity to grow in several aspects of life and learning. Also, it is important to mention that using innovation in class the cultural aspects, as well as, customs, idioms, and social factors can be introduced to students to learn and to illustrative new environments that can be unknown and the experience and knowledge they can get from other countries will be important.
The systematic and socio cultural factors affect the implementation of innovation It has improved the level of economical significance. As a resource it has to be with innovation of materials, books published online, learning methods, and also sharing materials, ideas, and methodology. If teachers get involved in a system in which they cannot explore, discover, feel motivated, and their ideas are not shared, then the lesson will be so magisterial and the student will loss the opportunity of expressing.
Other factors that are considered that can mediate the possibility of change is the syllabus and MEP, because it is so clear with the objectives that must be covered during the school years. Most of the time, the innovation is not allowed because of the explicit and strict objectives teachers have to follow. Even though, teachers are pushed to innovate to create materials. In most high schools in our country innovation is a tool that can be implemented when the teacher brings her or his materials and use them in class.
The interest of parents, first of all, to implement new ways to use technology is very important. For example, the students can present a homework making use of internet, e-mails, or memory data cards which are also a good way to complement in the class and help the nature because will reduce in high amount on pollution and waste or resources as paper.
Nowadays educators are fewer optimists in regard to innovation in education because of the economical situation the teachers face. In this way, technology is very expensive and the government does not supply schools with technological resources to innovate and improve in class.
The schools must be interested in acquire and supply of technological resources such as computers, projectors, internet access. With this it supports to the teachers to use innovation in class giving facilities which are some of the things we use to teach in our lessons.
In fact innovation is a tool that is used by many professionals in the field of education because of the facilities regarding to planning, grammar exercises, materials, videos, listening exercises, and flash cards, for example that help in the teaching and learning process. Actualize teachers and make them develop skills to succeed in the class.
The approaches that can be focused in the needs of adult learners are the Task Based, the communicative approach and the total physical response. Because these approaches help the student to acquire vocabulary, spontaneous participation, and the student have the opportunity to improve in all areas at same time is learning and be motivated because the goal for adults is to communicate quickly in areas they feel need to be developed and have mature ideas about the language.
The innovation promotes the process of syllabus giving to students and teachers facilities to develop the class and improve the quality of it. Through innovation the lessons are more communicative and participative. The knowledge students acquire and forcing them to use technology to work with in the class. To vary the system not turning it as monotonous as it is sometimes because of the MEP’s syllabus.
Some factors that can impede the learning progress in target language are: the economical. Many students feel that because of the bad economical situation they face they cannot use resources and must accept what the teacher brings in to develop the lessons. The society sometimes reject people because do not have the opportunities before of improving and nowadays people must be aware of technological advances and skills to work with it. Parents lack of interest in innovation. Some parents do not agree in new methods so they prefer the antique was of teaching pointing that are cheaper and force students to memorize. The motivation is very important. If the class is dynamic the students feel much better with in the process of learning. Students love when they are acting and improving and see reflected their results as positive goals.
The aspects propose the natural approaches are to introduce three kind of activities while developing a lesson which are the pre-production, production, and speech emergence. The pre-production consists of listening activities to understand by contextual guess, visuals, and mimes, as an example. The production is originated when the student recognizes a big amount of vocabulary and starts making questions. The speech emergence is when the students use games and so on in which the participation becomes part of the lesson. They can ask and give information regarding to any topic in class.

Some factors that can affect the curricular innovation are the infrastructure of schools, lack of interests from teachers, parents, students, and authorities of education. Some other factors can be the poor resources that are faced by teachers, students, and schools. Another factor can be when teachers feel stressed when they have to use technology.


Teacher’s attitude

This interview was done to 15 students that are coursing the eighth grade in high school. The ninety percent (90%) of the students believe that some situations that can affect the student’s motivation are the interest the teacher put on them and their personal problems. Another important observation here is that the students consider that motivation from the teacher is very important as well as the attitude of the teacher. The other five percent (5%) points that the student interest in learning is more important than other factors.
In general the think that the way lessons are developed, the attitude of teachers, boring methods to teach, lack of technological resources to develop a lesson, and the classmates’ attitude are the factors that are affecting students motivation in the school.
The opinions about if they consider the teacher’s attitude in classroom can affect students is that of course it produces lack of interest in students, sometimes students drop school because of teachers fail in their interest on them, teachers do not help students sometimes and do not care about their problems, the way the teacher explains the topics and the interest from the teacher is not adequate in one hundred percent (100 %) of the students.
Seventy five (75%) of students point as main aspects teachers must be aware in order to foster student’s desire to learn are mainly creativity, authority, to have adequate control and discipline in the class, to innovate new learning styles.
Ninety percent (90%) of students consider that the relationship professor-student must be with authority, respect, comprehension, and to be friendly because in this way the students have confidence and feel relax in class.
A hundred percent (100%) of students consider that a good relationship between student-professor can give students confident in classroom because with this they feel motivated, interested, and sometimes it facilitates the process of learning.
As a conclusion, students think that having good relationship with the teacher helps them to improve as well as the interest of the teacher working in the class. If the teacher works and innovate the lesson, it will be more dynamic and successful.

RESEARCH ON TEACHER’S ATTITUDE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF INNOVATION
Just taking a look at some teachers, in some high schools, I could note that students need more attention, different activities, innovation and of course motivation from the teachers.
Nowadays, some teachers just explain once and they don’t care if students understood or not, they continue and don’t pay attention to other kind of situations that students are living. Teachers must be involved in what students live or in their problems, interests or emotions. We as teachers must know our students abilities, strengths or weaknesses to help them in what they need. We must offer interesting classes, motivate them to learn more about the second language. The environment makes students feel comfortable or bored in a class and it depends on teacher’s attitude. The attitude, mood or the tone of voice that the teacher shows to his/her students in class, makes them be motivated, learn more, pay attention or, in the other hand, it could make them feel lack of interest in the topic shown. Even, students feel ashamed if they need to ask a question because of the teacher’s attitude; so that, they won’t be learning.
Teacher’s attitude and the importance of innovation go together to obtain motivation, interest and good results in the acquisition of a new language from students.

Defining Educational Innovation
Nowadays, talk about innovation is easy. With technology in our hands, we can manage a different class with more movement, dynamism and change of ideas among students and the teacher. A dynamic and interesting class is the base for students to acquire better the topic or issue that the teacher is showing at that moment. For example, if a teacher is guiding a class reading a book or just writing on the board, the students will feel bored and won’t be acquiring knowledge because they won’t be interested in what the teacher is doing. Also, if the teacher is the only one who speaks in the classroom, students will be uninteresting because there is no interaction in the class. Students need interaction and innovative ideas to receive a class, to acquire better the topics given.
Now, defining educational innovation is kind of hard; educational innovation is offering new ideas, new ways to teach with dynamism, interaction and enthusiasm to our students. Students need different ways to learn. They need movement, opinions, critics and the change of ideas among them. But, for that, we must change the syllabus, and the old ways of teach. And this is very hard because just 75% of all innovations fail, however, teachers must continue trying to implement new ways to teach. We must have clear that innovation is not just for entertainment. We must remember that the priority of innovation is the acquisition of the language with participation of the students and enjoyment.
There are many different methods to apply, but not all of them are the exact to be used in our classroom, because to one student could be the best method to learn a new language, for example, but for other student, that same method can confuses him/her. We must search for a method according to the level of students; we must take into account the age, the environment and the possibilities of acquire the knowledge with that method. So, it’s hard to determine which method is the better to make an innovative education in the classroom.
