1. Which of the content areas interest you most. Why?
I’m really interested about Language Teaching because I believe that is very important
to chose the appropriate methods to suit learning and teaching objective if you want to
learn any language.
2. In which areas do you feel sure/unsure?
I feel sure in planning and evaluation, because I really like preparing material class
and I had the experience to teach Aims and objectives of language teaching in the
context of the institution and o the course.
3. Which area will be more difficult for you? Why?
Maybe language and culture because it’s an area where as professor we have to get a
lot of experiences and vocabulary because every culture use their own words that
refers to different meaning.
4. In which area would you like to develop further? How will you go about it?
I would like to develop self-assessment and development, I will try to give to the
participants difficult classroom situations that they will learn from their solutions and I
also will like to receive and make use of feedback on my teaching performance.
5. Which resources (materials, books, websites, articles, methods, visual material etc.)
do you already have relating to the five content areas?
I think that as professor we use all kind of material for develop the five content areas,
for example in my case for Language and culture I use visual material or websites to
show it. For language awareness, I use books and articles, to language learning
processes use material as flashcard, realia, etc., to Language teaching I use materials,
books, websites, articles, visual material, music and videos for developing most of the
areas.
6. How could you check and evaluate the learning progress of your trainees during the
training? Write down some concrete ideas.
We could evaluate their knowledge, with a writing exam, I think that this is an excellent
idea, but for me oral and speaking practice it’s one of the most important evaluation in
a process.
