Chapter 2 of Kuma Book

      During my reading this week I found chapter 2 of the Kuma book to be very insightful into a lot of information that is relevant to TESOL today. I like how he touched upon the different approaches that we were talking about last week and he starting going into information that we only just started to talk about which was learner-centered, learning-centered, and language-centered. It was nice to read about them and to get a better grasp of what it is that we will be learning more in class. The thing that struck me most interesting though was the Post method pedagogy section of chapter two.
     I found reading about the post method pedagogy was engaging to me because I had never heard about it before. It has three sections which are the paramerer if particularity, the parameter of practicality, and the parameter of possibility. Seeing what each of these parameters were was excting and interesting to me. I got kind of confused when it came to the section of macrostrategies and how they worked and were implemented into the classroom but truly macrostrategies are implemented by the smaller lessons called microstrategies. There was a list of ten macrostrategies and a brief description of what each of them were which helped with understanding what it was that they were talking about. This chapter was really interesting to me but mostly learning about the post method pedagogy. Pedagogy in general is a big and interesting topic but this put a new spin on things and I enjoyed reading about it.
