Abstract
“When I started teaching English to High School students, I’ve noticed many problems in the way they expressed ideas about their hobbies, dislikes and likes and in general, they could not express their real feelings. I’ve found that the problem is that when students try to make opinions, the previous exercises on traditional English methods weren’t really focused on those topics. On the other hand, teens are not interested in pre-stablished topics out of their interests. I’ve found out in the daily practice that many of these topics don’t work with real situation that student can use on real contexts such as regular conversations between two young students with regular problems. They present communication lacks when they have to ask for real information and get into an effective
conversation with other foreign students. Consequently, I have remarked a disappointment in students because it seems that no matter how much they study,
they just can’t achieve to communicate something simple.
After a year working with traditional English methods, I was chosen to lead a Communication Course. This subject was about to create a groupal identity where
team work was the most important thing to do”.
