Part 1:
Preparing to Use ICT in Teaching
a.
Aims and Objectives
The
teacher's aim for the sake of this case study is to develop learners'
ability to grammatical approach. In this case the learners are
Year 11 pupils in a mixed gender comprehensive school and they
are preparing for the written elements of their GCSE in Spanish.
Many of the learners are considering progressing to A Level and
other further qualifications. As we meet the teacher, she has
used a variety of methods of raising awareness of grammar, including
traditional grammar books and worksheets.
Specifically,
the teacher wants the pupils at this phase of their speaking and
listening development to:
- Gather
information from a variety of sources.
- Evaluate
the validity of the sources of information.
- Clarify,
analyse the ideas of others.
- Gather
and store information.
The
topic the teacher has selected is: The Imperfect Tense.
Questions
for Consideration
- How
do you currently deal with this area of work in the classroom?
- Do
you use any ICT based methods to gather and present information,
and how do you manage use of these?
Keep
a short record of your responses to these questions for discussion
with your mentor.
