Personal theory of practice assignment The professional development of a teacher can be a challenging task yet not impossible. During the process of this course I have learned how to face this challenge. However developing my own ideas and style of language teaching is still a work in progress. As a prospective language teacher I take in all methods and principles this course as given me. In doing so I believe it will make me a better professional. This course has presented me with some thoughts ELT teachers need to have once the period of formal training is over.
Teaching starts with the teacher seeking to get a better understanding of her class and how to connect with them. Once the teacher establishes what her students interests and views are, finding the right teaching assessment will be an easier task I think. As the upper secondary school National Curriculum (2011, p.103) states “It is important to keep in mind that, the competence levels describe the knowledge, skill and competence that characterizes students regardless of school level. Thus pupils in compulsory school are studying a Nordic language or English at the first competence level as students in upper secondary schools who are studying a new language. The time for acquiring the competence that characterizes each competence level may differ from one pupil to another“. This suggests that teachers should take into consideration the differences between the students and give them more room to develop.
My philosophy of professional practice statement is to give the maximum in work not only for the students but also for those that surround me. My philosophy is very simple to respect all people to respect me.Strive to help students think critically, facilitate learning with customized modifications, and help students use problem-solving strategies. My personal core of belief is always practiced active listening to assist the students better. It is vital to remark the importance of understanding the student 's development theories and how can be applied. I believe a professional in the higher education system should be using developmental, intellectual, cognitive methods into practice to
ELL continue to rise year after year. In EDUC 628, the class delved into the rise of ELL in America and how the best teaching methods to approach each learner with. Every ELL student is unique and has different learning process. Although the semester covered a wide variety of topics ranging from dialects to teaching methods, every module served its purpose in providing a framework for future ELL teachers. Learning about how to teach ELL was significant to me because when I first entered the school system in America, I was placed into ESL and I have gone through the process of many of these teaching methods. EDUC 628 main focus was preparing students whose goal in the future was to educate ELL. The articles and readings assigned in the class provided a funds of knowledge going into each new lesson. Coupled with the readings, hands on activities such as the mini lessons and designing lesson plans provided each student with experience that will reflect on their teaching abilities in the classroom. In my paper, I will be provided a step by step synthesis of what was learned and accomplished every week along with a brief summary of the readings. I will probe deeper into the modules and lessons that piqued my interest the most and that also challenge my mindset.
I have learned to engage in practice-informed research and research –informed practice while at Mason and partners clinic as there are many challenges faced by the community we serve. The community faces many barriers as most of the Manassas clients are mostly undocumented Latino immigrant families. I have learned that many of the patients are used to living in crisis and continue to live in crisis as they migrate to the United States. Many of these patients run away from their countries due to corruption and violence. I have learned to meet people where they are and assist them in getting the most each time they are referred to social work while at the clinic. I continue to learn through Seminar 495 and 496 of what are the best approaches
Giving quality care and support to patients, relatives and service users is very important as the treatment they receive (NHS, 2013). It is important for patients and service users to have positive experience in the healthcare settings, making sure they are cared for compassionately, respecting and maintain their dignity at all times (Ellis, 2010; Royal College of Nursing (RCN) (2006). This essay focuses on validity of a qualitative research studies. The aim is to use CASP Tool to critique a research article “Exploring patients’ self-reported experiences of out-of-hours primary care and their suggestions for improvement: a qualitative study” by Poole et al (2011) chosen from the National Health Service (NHS) frame work (2013) domain 4 (Ensuring people have a positive experience of care). Furthermore, CASP will be use to critic this article to know if users have had a negative or positive experience during out-of-hours and to develop on suggested program on improving on services by the service users including the practitioners.
Teaching and Learning consists of various different theories that educators may or may not feel applicable to their individual philosophy. There are bits and pieces of a variety of theories that many educators feel are important in the classroom. The purpose of this paper is to explain the personal learning theory and how it is applied in a classroom. After an educator takes the time to research and do further learning by reading a variety of written books, the educator may or maynot change things in the classroom or focus on a different topic that they had not previously focused on in the past.
Evaluation is a feedback or an improvement process made to improve customer service. Evaluation becomes less of a formal event. Result orientated HRD professionals realize that their importance to the organization is their ability to help the organization achieve its anticipated business outcomes. So, HRD professionals believe projects need to be evaluated to determine whether the desired outcomes have been achieved. Evaluations happen at the end of interventions. Although most of the time many organizations fail to give evaluation. Some reason for that is organization members misunderstand evaluations purpose and role, they fear the impact of evaluation findings, evaluation is considered
As I went into my Practicum, my philosophy was that each student deserved the chance to be included into the classroom if that would benefit the student. That was my core belief going in to my practicum. I would say that my view has not changed but what has changed is what how I would treat the students as individuals. I went in thinking they needed help doing things that might be tasks we find simple, but they struggle with. The main purpose of the adapted physical education is not to have the student succeed at sports, or even how to throw a ball. However, Kristine Hardy showed me that it was about making each student more independent and help them understand what they should do but well still in a physical education way. An example of this is we have a student at Kimberly Middle School who is in a wheelchair and struggles with certain tasks.
This approach was very advanced for the time. It revolutionised the strategies of language learning and also changed the role of the language teachers as well as the language learners. In contrast with some of the methodologies previously adopted, its main goal is to teach the scholars the ability to communicate. Thereby, Communicative Language Teaching bases itself upon the concept of language competence, which is considered the actual basis of proficiency in a language. Hence, teaching activities involve students in real-life communicative situations in which the communicative task is of more importance than the grammatical accuracy. Other exercises such as games, songs, problem solving and role-plays also are used in classrooms. It must be said that each of these activities are sowed on the learners needs, therefore, if the class
In this essay, I aim to only discuss what I have been taught and to see how I have assimilated professional jargon' terms and the range of teaching tools into my consciousness; to see how I can address different styles of
My framework is based on a Kato Teu a Tongan handmade basket, putting my framework into practice is an exciting moment for me as it allowed me to utilize my knowledge and observe whether my framework and its concepts and principles within it fits for working in the community, my principles stem from my mnemonic word I choose which is RATE and each letter stands for R-Resources, A-Achievement, T-Time and E-Education. This also gave me the chance to see if it could be used bi-culturally instead of just for my pacific people.
To sum up, even if the teaching practicum was short, what I had received and achieved were more than my expectation. It was a period that I, as a trainee, was able to apply all the theories, techniques, and methods that I learned in Teaching Methodology, Foundations of Education, and Applied Linguistics class into practice and it was a special period that I could learn to develop my ideas into a broader sense. Although I encountered suffering and difficult moments, yet teaching practicum was a priceless gift I have ever had within these four years at
Teaching English as a second languages it can be a hard task if the instructor does not have in consideration the four main skills that need to be developed by the students, and how to use the methods, technics and approaches correctly with each level and group.
n Part 2 Situation analysis and commentary Length: 1,000 words (plus or minus 10%) Guiding questions An explanation of how an aspect of the language teaching operation (LTO) was analysed, and how the results of this analysis were used to clarify the areas requiring attention in order to improve the current situation within the LTO.
Firstly, the positive parts of the TBL lesson, the Teacher (T) was leading the lesson by concentrating on the local needs of the Learners(L) (Tarone and Yule, 1990). To investigate the L’s knowledge, she used the life experience for learning the language (Tarone and Yule,1991:5). It was a well-chosen
As a famous saying around the world claims, “Nothing is written in stone” which means that everything in the world tends to change and renew; education is not an exception. Famous TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) frameworks used as templates to design lessons are also changing; evolving and also new frameworks are being designed. In this context, for a long period of time, most English teachers have used the famous PPP (presentation, practice, and production) outline to work on their lessons; nevertheless, now that a new framework called ECRIF (Encounter, clarify, remember, internalize and fluent use) has made its apparition; we as English teachers need to considerate whether this new framework has more benefits to put
