Assignment 1 Focus On The Learner PDF
In the profile it is important to include the following information about the learner(s):
Part B: Identify language problems and provide suitable activities from published
material to address these.
For this part of the assignment choose two specific language problems. Use your analysis of the
strengths and weaknesses in part A to help you identify two key areas which the learner(s) need
help with. Focus on problems with grammar, lexis and pronunciation, but avoid choosing two
problems from the same area, e.g. two problems with grammar.
Find one activity that could be used with your learner(s) for each problem. You need to find two
activities in total. You should hand these in with your assignment. These activities must be from
other published material, and not from coursebook material you are using, or have used, on the
course. Give a rationale for why you chose each activity stating:
1. Why you have chosen to focus on that area of grammar, lexis or pronunciation.
2. What exactly the activity you have chosen practises. Do not include a description of how
you would use the activity.
3. Why you believe the activity is appropriate for your learner(s). Consider whether it is
engaging, meaningful and culturally suitable.
