Focus on the Learner Assignment (1): Detailed Guide with Real Examples

Before we begin: quick background point, different types of focus on the learner assignment.

The main three types of Focus on the Learner CELTA assignment are:

Assignment Type 1 and 2: Focusing on an Individual or Pair of Learners

Therefore, you will need to think about things like:

The right questions to ask the student/learner

How to record the interview

Getting the student’s permission, and making sure they understand what they are signing up for (think about this for low-level students – harder than it sounds)

Arranging a time and a place to conduct an interview

Choosing a student who you think will actually turn up

You need to make the student(s) aware that doing the assignment is helping you on your CELTA course, but you also need to show them the benefits of coming for an interview , because if they don’t see any benefit, they’re unlikely to come (bad news for your assignment!).

Interview Questions for Your CELTA Assignment

My experience of the focus on the learner assignment, choosing the right students for your celta assignment – types 1 & 2, type 3 – focus on the learner s : using a whole group or class.

Key points to consider when writing a group profile include the following:

Do they all speak the same first language?

Are they from many different countries?

Do they have similar reasons for learning?

Is there a mix of ages?

There are all kinds of dynamics that you can pick up on here, largely based on demographic information, which give insight into the students’ learning.

Focus on the Learner: Word Count and Key Points

Generally, the first 300 to 350 words should be about learner(s) background .

Then, the next 300 to 350 would be an analysis of the student’s language problems

This will then be followed by another 300-350 word section suggesting activities for them to improve their English .

Learner Background Section

The above appears to be better motivation for language learning than for somebody who’s been forced to go by their parents after school (but not always!).

Needs Analysis Section

Again, the document by ISE Hove have this covered and have provided a self-assessment grid for learners to complete themselves (see page 3). It’s simple, but it should work!

Choosing the Right Language Points for Your Assignment

“How do I know which language points to focus on when writing the Focus on the Learner Assignment?”

From your extensive notes (hopefully), you can then choose only the language points that you know how to explain, because there will be probably many, many different points if you have taken lots of notes!

Suggested Activities for Improvement Sections

Using books to help with celta assignment 1.

You will need to refer to different books to show that you’re reading around the topic and that you are aware of the different academic thoughts on these things.

Examples of the Focus on the Learner Assignment

Finally, where can you see examples of the Focus on the Learner Assignment?

CELTA Assignment 1 'Focus on the Learner'

 Stefania is 67 years old, she is Italian and she speaks Italian. Her level in English is preintermediate.  The differences between L1 and L2 cause many problems to Italian learners. As stated in 'Learner English 1 ' to indicate grammatical functions Italian relies on morphological inflections whereas English relies on word order and phrase structure. As a consequence Italian learners complain about English little and unpredictable grammar. Since Italian is basically phonetically spelled with strict rules for word stress, learners find it difficult to understand and to be understood in English.  Stefania studied French at school, but she can no longer speak it. She started attending English classes here two years ago, before that she experienced mainly grammar classes, with not enough speaking, no translations, and a lot of 'listen and repeat'.  She is a retired teacher with a degree.  Her ideal teacher would speak slowly, and repeat a lot, to motivate the student she would use...

Abstract—This mini field-based study has explored the issue of teacher identity in the field of SLE. It highlights the significance of the issue and gives a comprehensive review of the body of literature available in this comparatively newer focus of study in the field. This study reports that second language teachers are primarily concerned about student achievement and institutional evaluation beside numerous other factors such as job satisfaction, socio-economic concerns, choices of teaching strategies and tools and native and nonnative speaking issues which directly and indirectly influence the second language teacher identity. This study also reports a few very personal teacher narratives and finally concludes that today’s second language teaching scenario is pleasant; teachers are enthusiastic, motivated and focused on student achievement which they believe is the end of all their endeavours. Index Terms—teacher identity, second language, indirectly influence
