The process of teaching and learning has the same value as the product, therefore how the children learn has the same significance as what they learn. The lessons the child learns in the process of teaching and learning have greater significance than the final product or result they have to present. The knowledge and skill gained by the learners should equip the learners to apply themselves in a variety of contexts. The systematic instruction received by a learner is important as it should progress from ``simple recall `` according to Bloom`s taxonomy to ``high order thinking skills``. The learner should be viewed in totality thus considering not just the cognitive but the social, emotional, affective,spiritual and moral
This allows students to integrate new learning with previous knowledge. Consequently, students develop the ability to link movement skills to perform movement sequences. Disadvantage One disadvantage of skill theme approach is that since teachers need to observe students as to plan and design task for next relevant learning stage. It must be very time consuming to make specific and informed observation for each individual student. These assessment of skills is also dependent on fatigue and interest.
These strategies can include additional elements of a balanced approach. The reading of a book aloud in a classroom setting and pointing at words as the words are spoken aloud provides students with the opportunity to see the spoken word in written context. Konza (2014, 154) notes in some research, oral language is excluded as a key element in learning to read. Although research suggests that oral language difficulties can lead to reading difficulties, therefore it is an important element. Once students understand oral language teachers can commence with working on
Seow (1995) (as cited in Ali Akbar Khansir (2012) argues that the process approach to teaching writing comprises four basic stages such as planning, drafting, revising, and editing. Three other stages could be inserted after the drafting stage; these are responding, evaluating, and post-writing. For each stage, suggestions are provided as to the kinds of classroom activities that support the learning of specific writing skills. For example, at the planning stage, teachers can help students generate ideas through such activities as brainstorming, clustering, and rapid free
HOW THE CURRICULUM SUPPORTS LEARNING By Name Course Professor Institutional affiliation Date How the Curriculum Supports Learning How does the curriculum support learning in your setting? Discuss with reference to the relevant curriculum documents, national and local initiatives and frameworks used in your setting? Support your argument with reference to theory and practice. The curriculum is the set of rules that occur in an education system and they refer to how people carry themselves in a school institutions. It defines the experiences that the students go through.
The approach symbolizes that “learning is personal”. This also strengthens the link between learning and teaching by engaging children, educators and parents. Learning is individualized and the assessments are also based on the skills garnered and not solely on knowledge. Such tailored approach helps take the learners to the next
Further, as a consequence of the numerous learner variables that appear to make an impact on the process of language learning (Blair, 1982), the emphasis on the individual differences among learners is indeed pertinent in modern language teaching and its associated learning environments. Individual differences have been a remarkable element in language learning as in the other fields of education. Learning styles and strategies can be said to be the most remarkable , discussed and researched factors among all other learner differences in mainstream literature on language learning (Brown, 2000; Ehrman, Leaver, & Oxford, 2003; Oxford, 2001; Peacock, 2001). Furthermore, Oxford (2001) explicitly suggests that language learning styles and strategies are among the main factors in determining the quality of student learning in second and foreign language
Teachers are instructed that changes and modifications of the content of the syllabus (learning competencies, subject-matter or content, tasks and activities, assessment tools, etc.) are possible depending on them, who are assigned with the courses. The teachers are in the best position to decide on what to bring inside their classes. Instructional practices are highly dependent on the teachers’ decisions and preferences, including the medium of instruction to be used in their classroom. Teachers have different learning styles and beliefs on which teaching approach, methodology, strategy and technique is best utilized to achieve the ultimate goal of every teaching which is
This section will discuss the theoretical framework of the study together with studies in the field of vocabulary learning strategies and their importance in language learning. 3.1 The importance of teaching vocabulary In the past, vocabulary was given little attention in the field of language teaching. This approach towards vocabulary was due to fact that linguistic research focused on syntax and phonology and neglected the important role of vocabulary teaching and learning. However, recent years recognized the vital role of vocabulary. (Richards &Renandya: 2002 ; Carter & McCarthy ;Koda; 1997 ; Paribakakht&Wesche: 1997).
