Communicative Language Learning seeks to bring students beyond grammatical competences to a point where they are able not only to decode a language, but they can begin to manipulate the language in private dialog. This is known as Comunicative Competences. It's an engaging development in the field of ancient language acquisition. It opens numerous opportunities for creative instruction, and may serve to captive students and teacher alike for years to come.

A global apreciation about this presentation is that the team maybe could have created more encouraging activities in order for us to be able to recognize and familiarize ourselves more with this. The explanation was good, but it could have been better if they had been more practical instead of theoretical.

The Audio-Lingual Method is based on the behaviorist belief that language learning is the acquisition of a set of correct language habits. The learner repeats patterns until able to produce them spontaneously. Once a given pattern – for example, subject-verb-prepositional phrase – is learned, the speaker can substitute words to make novel sentences. The teacher directs and controls students' behavior, provides a model, and reinforces correct responses.

It is worth to note the fact that we could not be in this presentation, but according to what we have read about the method, we can suppose that the group probably brought dialogues related to common situations and asked the group to repeat them in order to recreate a class based on this approach, because we think this would be the best way of present it.

This method derived from traditional approaches to the teaching of Latin and Greek in the nineteenth century. It is "a way of studying a language that approaches the language first thought detailed analysis of its grammar rules, followed by application of this knowledge through the task of translating sentences and text into and out of the target language."

We think this group made a really good job at presenting the method. Because, at the beginning they explained the basis of this approach and then, they applied it during the rest of class by giving us a text in order to translate it. After that, they applied a sort of test about the content of the translation, and at the end they gave everybody an envelope with words and asked us to order them and form a sentence.

It is a language teaching method which is based on the assumption that the coordination of speech and action will boost language learning. It was developed by James Asher in the 70s He drew from a variety of areas, including psychology, learning theory and humanistic pedagogy.
Even though the group gave a very good and clear explanation about what the method is and how it works, we think that if they would have presented a class based on the method, it would have been better than just give some isolated examples about the use of the method as they did.

PPP approach, is an EFL technique. Presentation, practice and production is its meaning. In this kind of class the teacher presents the topic in a meaningful way. The students make workgroups and work over specific themes related to the idea (topic) of the class. In this kind of class, students can practice vocabulary and other aspects of the language by asking some questions and sharing opinions or by performing role plays. The theme about cultural shock, presented in this class, was really interesting. We think the team did a great job in the development of the class and they chose the most suited activities.

In Task based learning, presentation of the material is given by applying different activities. What is really important in this method is that students can learn and work based on adquired knowledges in a meaningful way.
The explanation given for the group was interesting and understandable, the activities were appropriated and easy to do for us. We consider they applied the method during the class.

The suggestopedia class was centered in metacognition and relax of students in order for them to be in an optimun mental state for effortless acquisition of the knowledge. The sounds (music), games, smells, and images play an important role in this type of technique. Its purpose is to create an environment where students can use their senses, feelings and emotions and relate those elements with the topic of the class by themselves. We tried to work on Lozanov's ideas, adjusting the class to those principles by making games and other activities in order to produce in the students a relaxing stage for better understanding of the knowledges. A suggestopedia class is enjoyable and that was our main premise and goal.
