Learner Profile: Overview
Summary
For Unit 3, you will be working with an individual learner in order to complete the Learner Profile.
You will need to interview this learner and, following an analysis of their needs and motivation, deliver a one-to-one class and develop a short course of study to help them with their language skills.
As part of the profile, you will draw up a detailed analysis of the learner’s language abilities, including phonological features of the learner’s oral English.
Using this information, you will then design and give a suitable 45-minute, one-to-one lesson, and finally, you will draw up a set of suggestions for future study.
Trainees will be expected to spend time outside the timetabled hours of the course completing the Learner Profile.
