Please, Talk for exam! I really need correction Please, take into consideration that is a talk, no an Essay. Thankkkkkkssss:) "THE SPANISH AND THE ENGLISH WORKING METHOD IN PRESCHOOL" My name is Cristina, I am teacher specialized preschool AND over my career experience I have had the opportunity OF working and exploring both Spanish and English Educational Systems. THEREFORE, in this presentation I would like to analyze the WORKING METHOD used by the nursery teachers in both countries. So first of all I am going to discuss the Spanish method, then the English one, and finally I will come up with a conclusion. Well, Apparently, the methodological framework is similar. This is because in both countries the play and first-hand experiences are paramount elements for the children to learn. HOWEVER, in most of the Spanish nursery nurses this approach is more theorical than practical. This is because children spend long time sitting on a chair and filling out large amount of worksheets rather than exploring the different environment by themselves. So, in the end, learning through independent play is not really the very priority, and EVEN when the have time to play, is the teacher instead of children who decide the activity to do. FOR THIS REASON, it could be said that the Spanish method is highly structured and guided by the teachers. AND THIS IS JUST THE KEY FACTOR THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BOTH WORKING METHODS. WHY? BECAUSE in the English method, which is called free flow play, the child is allowed to move freely and make their own decision about where to go, what to play with. So, when a child is engaged in one activity, the role of the teacher is, basically, to follow the child initiative in order to build new knowledge. For instance, if a child is manipulating and interesting in a car, the teacher can develop math skills by asking: “how many wheels can are there? “ What shape does can you see?why?” and so on But despite this system seems great, we also need to take into consideration the drawback which is that too freedom during the independent play may become chaotic and empty of knowledge. So,With this in mind, we could ask, “What´s the best working method? WELL, I feel that a mix of both Spanish and English one might be the optimal approach to achieve the full potential of children. WHAT IS CLEAR, is that educational experts should keep researching this issue due to the Early Years is, without doubt, the most crucial stage in our life.
