WE ARE THE WORLD
by USA For Africa

There comes a time
When we heed a certain call,
When the world must come together as one.
There are people ,
And it's time to lend a hand to life,
The greatest of all.

We can't go on
Pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere
Will soon make a .
We're a part of God's great big .
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need.

[Chorus:]
We are the world.
We are the children.
We are the ones who make a day,
So let’s start giving.
There’s a choice we're making.
We’re saving our lives.
It’s true, we’ll make a better day, just you and me.

Send them your heart
So they'll know that someone ,
And their lives will be stronger and free.
As God has shown us
By stones to bread,
And so we all must lend a helping hand.

[Chorus]

When you're ,
There seems no hope at all.
But if you just believe,
There's no way we can .
Well, well, well, let us realize
That a change can only come
When we together as one.

[Repeat Chorus]

Choosing a Textbook and other printed Materials

What do really teachers take into accont to choose the appropiate textbook?

Often teachers search for programs that develop a curriculum that includes goals which can be compatible with the locals goals. These programs focus communication rather than grammar, the culture is presented form a global perspective rather than focusing on a single country, the illustrations are free of racial, gender, and culture. Is it flexible to work with our students? Taking into consideration their different styles of learning. But the most attractive characteristics are the support materials to facilitate our work as teachers. Eventhough it offers teachers a helpful tool, we can create authentic materials that enable our students to interact with their real language and content rather that the form. Learners can feel that they are learning a target language in and out the classroom. Considering that authentic materials will have the adecuate level to achieve learners competency and performance.

Principles of Effective Materials Development

By Instructor: Licda. Betty Castro

email: ncjcastro@hotmail.es

        Based on the Principles of effective materials development, proposed by Brian Tomlinson, states that  A prerequisite for language acquisition is that the learners are exposed to a rich, meaningful, and comprehensible input of language in use; because teachers should be sure of poviding spoken and written materials related to the topic, themes, events in order to achieve a meaningful for learners, also, exposing learners to authentic materials , will help students to acquire the ability to use the language effectively and providing enough samples of language that migth be useful for the learners to acquire.

       The second principle says that In order to for learners to maximize their exposure to language in use, they need to be engaged both affectively and cognitively in the language expeerience; here students need materials that activate their four skills and make them think and analize the given activity before, during and after using the language for communication.

      The third principle Language learners who achieve positive affect are much more likely to achieve communication competence;supply learners with interesting task and stimulate emotive responses through songs, literature, art to articulate their feelings before analyzing the situation.

       The fourth principle L2 language learners can be benefit from using those mental resources that they typically utilize when acquiring and using their L1.While creating activities encourage students  to switch to their inner speech during all the stages of the given task.
       The fifth principle Language learners can benefit from salient features of the input. Expose learners to examples rather that theory to leads students to pay attention and increase its potential for eventual acquisition.

        The sixth and last principle Learners need opportunities to use language to try to achieve communicative purposes; at this point learners need to be provided with activities that help them to communicate fluently and appropiately using the language, alos give feedback to students outcomes.

      Finally, try to ensure in your teaching activites as many principles you can, to provide your students with classroom materials encouter them on futture life situations while using the language.
