I did no receive any answers from my teachers , so I had to use Pamela's answers.
1. Describe your students at school. (this means social class, if they speak any other language besides spanish, where do they parents live, wich cities or towns) talk about your students in general.
students`s families are from a low class level I mean most of them don't have a regular job. Due to most of them work at part time jobs and they haven't got a professional degree, some of them haven't even finish their primery education. Their parents are craftmen/women, fisherman/men, shop assistants, waiters/resses, etc. Their higher money income occurs during summer, due to tourists and this income is their main families' economic support for the rest of the year.
Half of families have lived here around 50 years, yet the other half have come from Cartagena (a city located in the cost, quiet poor) looking for better job expectations to different cities as Santiago (Chile's capital and also the biggest and nearest city).
Students interests are regaeton music and music in general, dancing, fashion, to party and follow some urban styles. 5% of students attend to some sport, music, art and language workshops after class in the same school. But most of them show openly their great adiction to tv or video games. I think there are 5 to 10 students in the whole school who can speak English, and there are some others interested in French.
Anyway none of them are their main goal! They expect to go to university, or college and I think a 30 % from the students will really do it this year.
Our students are considered vulnerable, since social and cultural sorrounding (non standard family group, drugs problems, delinquency, etc) and it's also worth telling that there's a rising number of students with special needs or in integrated school program...
2.Describe a learner you have in your class it could be a good or bad at English
There is a student in particular, who is not very good at English. Most of the time he has a terrible behavior, although when he feels he can do something he makes it happen. A very interesting feature about him is that, in contrast, there are some students, who fail before starting anything and need a lot of support from teachers... that is why they are considered lazy and there've been some situation when they're are diagnosed with some intelectual disability or syndrome....
This case is very similar to Salvador's case, the boy who was disruptive in class and refused to try to read and write in Spanish and English. First of all, this boy needs support from his parents (because he can have problems in his house due to the fact that their parents do not have a job maybe ). Secondly, it is important to know the student's interests because as we read in the article about Salvador , he was very interested in playing soccer and afterwards he felt that he could take part of a group and since that period he started doing the activities in the classes. We have to do the same thing with this boy: we have to know his interests and afterwards we have to make a plan in order that he can take part in group activities, but the activities have to be very motivated for him.
