Joint productive activity (Sports-likes and dislikes)

Since joint productive activity relates to teacher and students working together to experience language learning process. It is recommended when the teacher and the students are not of the same background, the reason it applies to the place I am doing social service. My students are indigenous people whose mother’s tongue is tseltal.

The first session was designed to introduce the topic likes and dislikes through sports.

The activities in the second session were designed to promote interaction and cooperative learning while focusing on content (expressing preferences).

Students were motivated to work in teams, since they already know each other; I allowed them to group according to friendship. But when I saw teams with an extra member, I asked to get together and group another team. Actually I asked some of the irregular students to work together in order to provide an opportunity to work hard and make the effort to achieve the goal. By the end, they were the last one to finish, but they did it by their own, and I was monitoring and asking if they need any other material (tape, scissors, or glue).
