Hi Joan,

Just in case you come around... I write you here because I think today the class and me haven't thank you all the things we have learnt in this subject with you.

I must confess that at the beginning we all thought that your lessons were a little bit crazy but day after day you have shown us that you plan your activities very carefully and everything has the same direction: tips for us as future teachers.

Thank you very much, I promise you I feel I have learnt a lot with you and I expect being as creative in my lessons as you have been this year.

STORY-BASED APPROACH

STAGES

1. Presentation: teacher prepares for the grammar explanation by using a short story. The emphasis is on comprenhension and meaning.

2. Attention: Teacher recycles the story pictures, TPR, role playing... Again wemphasis on meaning

3. Co-Construction: Once meaning is understood the teachers' turn the learners attention to focus on form. Both teacher and learner co-construct the grammar explanation.

4. Extension: Learners are told to use the grammatical structures to carry out a particular task.
