Talk of Prof. Ph.D. Ofelia García on the subject "Translanguaging" during the Multilingualism & Diversity Lectures 2017.
El video "Paulo Freire: Educación Bancaria vs Educación Liberadora" explora las dos concepciones educativas propuestas por el pedagogo brasileño Paulo Freire. La educación bancaria se describe como un modelo en el que el docente actúa como el único poseedor del conocimiento, depositando información en estudiantes pasivos que la reciben sin cuestionamiento. Esta metodología enfatiza la memorización y reproducción de datos, limitando la capacidad crítica y creativa de los alumnos.
En contraste, la educación liberadora promueve una relación dialógica entre educador y educando, donde ambos participan activamente en el proceso de aprendizaje. Este enfoque fomenta la reflexión crítica, permitiendo a los estudiantes cuestionar y transformar su realidad, desarrollando así una conciencia crítica sobre su entorno social y político.
The "Así se Dice - That's How You Say It" video presents a strategy for bilingual students in that promotes collaborative work in both Spanish and English. This video focuses on techniques for fostering language development across both languages while encouraging students to work together.
The video "Biliteracy in Action: Kindergarten" by Beeman and Urow provides an insightful look into how kindergarten classrooms can effectively integrate both languages to promote biliteracy among young learners. In this video, the focus is on how teachers can support the development of reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills in two languages simultaneously.
The key takeaway from the video is the importance of creating an environment where students are encouraged to use both languages in meaningful, authentic contexts.
In this video, they use concept attainment, TPR, and partner share in Spanish to learn about the rock cycle, and to develop Spanish language arts. The unit continues with the reading and writing portion (5 to 10 more days) before doing the Bridge. This video includes an example of what the Bridge could look like as part of this unit; however, in this video, it was done the same day as the oracy building because it was a model lesson.
