Quienes tenemos relación con los idiomas sabemos que el aprendizaje de estos está constituido por todo un engranaje de procesos y habilidades y se consolida con la práctica verbal que, desde mi experiencia, es el último eslabón, es decir, hay un orden más o menos natural. A continuación, conozcamos los diferentes tipos de grupos que pueden existir y los beneficios que pueden proporcionar cuando aprendemos un idioma, en nuestro caso: español. Centrándonos, al final, en un asunto que me apasiona particularmente: los clubes de lectura.

Papel de la comunidad en el aprendizaje de español

Speaker one: I’ve had many language lessons over the years. My lessons at school were mundane and a waste of time. They involved rote learning which meant we just repeated everything the teacher said, and we had a lot of grammar lessons! However, when I started university, everything changed. The classes were engaging and practical. I remember a grammar lesson about conditionals in my first term. The teacher introduced the language through a funny picture story and included many engaging activities to help us work out the rules for ourselves and practice the language in a meaningful way. Not only was it enjoyable, but it was also effective as I left the class feeling like I’d really learned something.


Speaker two: Honestly, I think my most enjoyable English classes were at primary school. Our teacher, Miss Hinker was wonderful and very musical. She loved singing and taught us new songs all the time. She gave us musical instruments that we could use too. I’ll never forget the time she taught us a new song called ‘There was an old lady who swallowed a fly.’ I must have been around eight at the time. It was a song about a lady who ate many animals, finishing with a horse. It was hilarious. First, she showed us all the actions and then we sang the song many times and played the instruments. We laughed a lot, and I still remember the words to this day. I never wanted those lessons to end.
