As it says in Item A, a subculture is a group of pupils who share similar values and attitudes. Some subcultures are pro-school, while some are anti-school. An unstructured interview is when the interviewer has freedom to vary the questions they ask. There are a number of strengths and weaknesses of using unstructured interviews to interview children, and they will be examined below. Unstructured interviews allow the interviewer to build rapport with the pupils, unlike questionnaires where there is no chance to build rapport because the researcher has limited contact with the pupils.
Normally, (for numeracy and literacy) I support the higher ability group for Numeracy due to the 1-2-1 pupil I support, and the middle group in Literacy whilst keeping an eye on the other rest of group (just in case, but they are normally competent to work independently). When working with a table or a group, there will normally be pupils who are at different levels. That is why it is so important to be able to modify and adapt activities to enhance learning experiences. One important contribution whilst the learning activity is delivered is to ensure that learners understand the learning tasks and to reinforce the teaching points from the input. Being aware of the needs of pupils and the level of support they require, whether learning or personality needs.
When there is effective communication between children and adults, children will have proper understanding of what they are expected to do and how they are expected to behave. They will be able to speak to adults about their needs meaning targets and aims are achieved. Although young people are more advanced in their language and communication skills, their humour may change as they begin to understand and use sarcasm and wit. Their ability to think logically begins to mature and as their intellect increases so also does their confidence and skills required to debate/argue both formally and informally. Sometimes conflict can occur when communication is misunderstood.
The condition or quality of being knowledgeable in a particular subject or field. So when we talk about literacy do we actually mean English? In this case yes we do, but this is not always the case. According to the School the aims of literacy are: • To raise students expectations of achievement and therefore raise standards. • To develop students confidence and self-expression and therefore self-esteem.
Before the new standards took effect, instruction focused more on quantity. If the student's didn't hear or understand the information taught to them the teacher would move forward in instruction. Not only were goals not being met, in most cases goals and standards were not being set for students. Now with the CCSS in ELA and Literacy, teachers can pause, deepen and apply quality eduction to their students. For example reading one on one and assessing students at their own reading level and providing them with literature for that level and tracking for
It helps students acquire the critically thinking skills needed to succeed once they are done with high school. With the Common core standards the use of common language to help students know and understand what they are learning is beneficial. Another thing that common core standards are good for, if they are implemented throughout the United States, is that no matter where a student lives and or moves to they will not be behind as everyone will have the same framework to use. The result will be an easier transition from one school to another school, academically speaking. Along with positives for the students, there are positives for the teacher’s also.
Some students who lack in confidence may find it hard to communicate at all with us, so if we come across to that student in a positive and gentle manner they are more likely to open up to us and talk. We would not like to be spoken to in a negative way so therefore we should also be careful of how we speak to others too. It is important to communicate effectively in order that information is understood and to avoid confusion or delay. It is important to adapt the way we communicate, because different audiences require different communication styles, that way you have a better chance of being understood e.g in the way you would communicate with a child as to an adult. Communication is a two way process, it involves speaking, listening, hearing, understanding and replying.
This is the process operating when the tutor explains the assignment. • Depending on student's previous experiences and expectations, their perceptual filters will interfere with the message that they receive. • Both the tutor's verbal and non-verbal communication – in particular, aspects of paralanguage such as emphasis – will communicate which bits of the instructions are most important. Verbal communication varies in its accessibility for students, as they may have different levels of understanding of the instructions (especially if English is not their first language). Non-verbal language may support or contradict verbal messages.
What strategies can you use to help communicate with individuals who do not speak English? Illustrate your response with examples and supporting evidence from your textbook. (SLOs 4, 8) Answer: Culture and language can have a huge impact on the development of one’s speech. This is all a part of understanding the audience that is going to be listening to your presentation. I know from experience that jargon can sometimes be very hard to understand if one is not accustomed to it.
But at the same time it’s really not fair to compare their performance with your English speaking students. So there is a must need for standard based instruction that pertains to the needs of just ELLs. If we try to hold them to the standards of native English speaking students this could actually hurt their self esteem since they probably would never reach the same goals on the same level. Also it could lead to an ELL being missed diagnosed with a learning disability (LD). This is why there have been some efforts to develop English Language Development (ELD) standards.
