Fashions in language teaching methodology

What did I understand today?
I understand that methodology is a set of planes made of activities that let the teacher catch the attetion of the students for them to learn. This definition is more like an objective of procedure so the correct definition of methodolody will be 'activities, tasks and learning experiences use by a teacher within teaching and learning process.


How is this connected to my future teaching experience?
The existing methodology systems have the property of self regulation. This mean that if a method in an existing system has lost its use or is rather inefficient than it is automatically eliminated.
But it is also observed the fact that classical methods are main pillars of educational system. They can suffer some structural changes or evolutional additions but their essence remains. So according to this is too related to my future experience as a teacher because I am going to be responsable to use certain methods and proceedings and find out if is it effective or not what I suggest.


What are 3 concepts I would highlight from this lesson?
The information or knowledge that a future teacher manage is very important also I think is very important to consider the avalaible materials to perform a class and finally mantain  the curriculum as a requirement.
