Unit reflection: Write a brief overview of the content of this unit and what you feel that you have learnt from it. If stating an opinion you will need to give reasons. This section is not graded but may be part of a sample of work reviewed by the course moderator and therefore should be clear and concise, relevant to the unit, professional in nature and a minimum of 50 words. This unit reflection is therefore a requirement of the course. Repetition from previous unit reflections will not be accepted.
A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF "UNIT 1" CONTENT
the content of unit 1 , encompasses all about TEACHER and LEARNER in teaching and learning environment(Classroom),below are the treated content:
* Understanding the concept of individual differences among the language learners.
* Motivation as a vital key to an effective teaching\learning process.
* Characteristics\ Roles of a "good Teacher".
* Qualities of a "good learner" and some likely barriers.
* Adult and Young learners as a categories of language learners and differences between both
* Categories of language levels: Beginner...Advanced etc.
Below are some knowledge I have learnt so far from the aforementioned in unit one.
That for an effective and successful Teaching\Learning to take place, both the teacher and learner must portrait a good and positive\distinctive qualities in respective of "INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES" such as; learners background-learners may not possibly come from same home leading to differences in cultural ways of doing or handling issues and mode of understanding among the language learners, experience differs as learners are not likely to be same in age as we therefore have classes of ADULT and YOUNG learners such as:(teenagers, pre-puberty and young learners) and above all , to become or call as a good teacher, you must put all these features as a habit avoid focusing on your own teaching personalities (kind, love etc.),A good teacher must be fully concerned about his\her learners as discussed above and must be able to lead, control, monitor, motivate, assess and evaluate in the teaching\learning process.
on the other hand, I have learnt that despite the psychomotor, cognitive and effective domain of learning , a good learner should cultivate the habit of: interest, desire, willingness, ability to be actively involved in the learning strategies and methodologies such as: problem-solving, working within a team, accepting mistakes and ready to be corrected and above all, respect and be faithful to teachers.
In addition, I also learnt how to handle or adopt the different methodologies for Adult and Young learners and putting the various language levels into consideration. for instance,
The age range of young learner between 8-13 would not have same Motivational, Experience, Behavior and language level as Adult language learner whose choice, decision in life experience, both negative or positive experience are defined and has a fixed expectation and above all might fall under the higher language as in upper intermediate or Advanced compare to young language learner.
In Conclusion, I realized that , there are basically six levels as of Common European Framework
Example: A1 = Breakthrough Basic User
A2= Waystage Basic User etc.
and other are used in B1,B2,C1 and C2 .
Finally, language learners be it young learners in all categories, and Adult learner should always be motivated in other to develop more interest in learning the language emphasizing that the advantages and importance cannot be over emphasized.
