9. Final comment

i. What did you find valuable in your SL placement?

I found it very valuable being in a culturally diverse classroom and school as I feel this enhanced and
expanded upon my intercultural competence. I also think that being exposed to the classroom
environment and the day to day challenges and tasks is important for preparing me for the future. I was
very lucky to be placed with a very knowledgeable and friendly teacher as she would discuss learning
difficulties and strategies with me. She was also very appreciative to have an extra set of hands in the
classroom.

ii. What needs to be improved?

I know that another student attending placement at the same school didn’t have a teacher that
communicated with them very much so maybe teachers need to be more aware of what is expected of
them also so that this can be an enriching experience for everyone. Having an extra set of hands in the
classroom is valuable for teachers so they too should make the experience a good one.
