I think that teaching listening would be the hardest thing for me to do. I think that is harder than it might seem.In fact,  I am trying to improve my listening skills because sometimes I just don' t understand what English native speakers are talking about. I have been thinking on the concept of using both bottom-up and top down listening techniques when teaching English.Students who are just beginners, would not be able to understand whole sentences.For example, when listening a story,  I think that I would ask them to listen for key words already explained.Now, I am thinking  how could I explain those key words to kindergarten kids If I had to teach them.

It really called my attention what Cindy said about the story of The Day that the Crayons quit.She says that with this story we can teach not only new words but also we can teach our students how to complain about a situation they might face and express their feelings naturally. I find that could be really useful for kids to learn because it will help them during all their lives. Besides storytelling, playing games is an activity that I would absolutely use for teaching kids or adults.I love games and I really liked when some of my teachers used them even in the university. We learned and we had fun at the same time.
