1 Analyse the effectiveness of teaching and learning approaches used in own area of specialism in relation to meeting the individual needs of learners.
In this section I will analyse the effectiveness of teaching and learning approaches used in my own area of specialism (ESOL) in relation to meeting the individual needs of learners.
Teachers must incorporate a large “variety of learning approaches” into their lessons in order to cater towards the individual needs of their learners (Barron 2020c: Paragraph 1). My area of specialism is ESOL.
One of the approaches used in ESOL teaching and learning is the ‘student-centred approach’. This approach “encourages and enables students to be more engaged in and take more responsibility for their education” …show more content…

Verbal communication is a good way of communicating with learners as it is “good for providing feedback as it is instant” (Barron 2020a: Paragraph 1). It is quick and easy to use to explain instructions and covey information to students. Furthermore, as my area of specialism is ESOL, verbal communication is a good way of improving students listening skills. However, using verbal communication in an ESOL classroom setting does have some limitations. Learners who have hearing issues may find it difficult to understand what the teacher is saying (Barron 2020a). In addition to this, “teachers must be careful when providing verbal feedback as both positive and negative feedback can embarrass students when they are with their peers” (Barron 2020a: Paragraph 1). Furthermore, ESOL teachers must avoid giving students tremendous amounts of information in a short amount of time as the information will be “difficult to absorb” (Barron 2020a: Paragraph 1). Teachers also need to ensure that they speak loudly and clearly, and they must ensure that they use a good pace when speaking as this is not learners first language. ESOL learners have different levels of understanding English, so teachers should speak to students according to their level. With my Entry 1 learners I try to use very simple language as their level of English is very low and they have a very limited …show more content…

Initially I was going to give students a vocabulary worksheet and have them write the words next to the pictures. However, as I had quite a lot of vocabulary to cover I decided to incorporate different methods of teaching vocabulary into my lesson. First, I put some pictures on my PowerPoint presentation and elicited vocabulary from the students, I then used the reveal tool to show the word on the board and have students write the words down. Next I cut up some pictures, words and definitions and made them do a group matching task. I think this was an excellent way of encouraging collaborative learning amongst the students. I then gave them a matching worksheet at the end to complete individually to consolidate learning. I think these different approaches of individual and collaborative learning were excellent ways of meeting individual needs as they catered towards different leaning

Teachers as ethnographers find ways to understand the depth and complexity of students, while teacher as amateurs learn from their students just as their students learn from them. Employing these strategies can create a learner-centered classroom that engages all learners. This approach may not work for all students. However, the idea that there are different approaches to teaching and learning and one-size doesn't fit all can save countless students from the

I used a “quiz” as a warm up and had the students draw four lines: Angry, happy, sad, and content. I gave it as a quiz but then went on to show them how many of the students had similar lines, and how we all have an idea of how certain lines might look. This was a fun part of the class for the students as they got to show off the lines they had made and the reasons for making them. This was the beginning of my elements of design lesson and “hook” to get the students interested in the upcoming lesson. After notes covering the other elements of design, I went on to assign a monochromatic collage.

Task 16 U2 AC 2.2 - Explain why it is important to select teaching and learning approaches, resources and assessment methods to meet individual learner needs. There are a number of theories that have evolved over many years that state the current schooling methods do not work… The current methods of teaching are institutionalised and promote one method of teaching for everyone… It is the opinion of many scholars, teachers, professors and applicators of the teaching system that a change is a long time overdue and now is the time to allow learners to learn instead of expecting them to learn from one method. A favourite quote of mine is: “If you can’t learn the way I teach, then I will teach the way you learn”, and this very much sums up the way

The culture of my middle school and high school English language arts class is one that shifts from teacher-centered to student-centered throughout the school year. Based on Shindler’s Matrix (2010), I begin each school year with a classroom management plan that resembles that of a conductor and gradually work into the role of facilitator (p. 14). My philosophy of classroom management is to begin as a composer who orchestrates the classroom with expectations of behavior, including active participation and production. As the year (or semester) progresses, I scaffold the management of the learning from teacher-centered to student-centered. My goal is for students to learn how to self-direct and self-motivate their active participation.

I believe in the student centered approach to teaching. This model has proven to be more effective than the teacher center model. The teacher acts as the facilitator.
