Contextualized Language

Well, starting with the fact that i basically learned this language by feeling atracted by the fact of using it someday to improve myself, i believe that using this method of teaching is really useful to get the students to participate in the activities. Teachers from the time when i was in school, and even in high school, never proposed this kind of activities, or tried to make the fact of learning a new language was with a good purpose. On the other hand, teachers at the university have used this technique very often which has helped me personally to get interested in the mayority of topics. So i guess that when the students decide what is interesting and what is not, there´s a better possibility for them to learn more, and this basically means that this can, and should be applied in all EFL classrooms, no matter what kind of level, or age we are teaching. It might take some effort to include this tipe of activities, but i can assure that this will work as a charm.
