MY OBSERVATIONS
LEARNING A NEW LANGUAGE
Now I see how challenging it is to learn a foreign language for students.
GAMIFICATION
Gamification in a language learning app is likely to increase students' motivation. It definitely enhanced mine!
HABITS
After a few days I discovered that learning Spanish every day for some time has become a habit and I did not have to motivate myself.
MOTIVATION
My motivation was increased due to a purpose, sticking to plan, seeing my progress.
15 MINUTES IS NOT A LOT
Duo always says "15 mins of Duolingo can teach you a language. What 15 mins of social media can do?"
What have I learnt from genius hour project?
A NEW LANGUAGE
AUTONOMY
ORGANISATION & TIME MANAGEMENT
I have developed a skill of speaking a new language! (only basics but still!)I had always problem with motivating myself to do it.
PURPOSE
It is crucial to give your students a choice as they are likely to develop autonomy. Moreover, they learn how to be responsible for their own learning.
Every task needs to have purpose - without purpose their is no point in doing anything. Purpose increases motivation.
Genius Hour Project improves planning , organisation and time-management skills. Without a clear plan, one is unlikely to succeed.
