As stated by Kirkpatrick (2018:16), the aim of a teacher is to provide effective knowledge to
students in specialist area so that the students cannot face any kind of issues in that specialist
area. For an example, if a person has been found to face issue at the time of writing and speaking
English then it can be said that the person has not got effective training and education in the
specialist area. Training and education of English is important for people so that they can able to
work in different countries effectively as English is a common language.In accordance to Qi

LO4: Resources for teaching and learning
Task 4
4.1 Ways by learning and teaching resources and emerging technologies to
meet individual needs of the learners in the specialist area
Development of English learning is done with the help of structures that are provided through
proper resources related to the philosophy of learning. As per the view of Peters (2015:377), it is
important to include developed methods of learning English so that learners are able to develop
proper knowledge about the language. English has a rich and deep background that needs to be
studied with proper attention and application of advanced methods.
Teaching Resources
Teaching resources of English includes teaching of proper grammar as per the rules that are set
by qualified learners. The main way to develop knowledge of English among learners is by
gaining knowledge of new words and vocabulary. Dictionary turns out to be very useful for
development of knowledge of English. As per the view of Willett et al. (2017:57), literature texts
of various areas written in English and reading these materials enables the development of proper
knowledge of the language. On the other hand, it is also seen that advanced models and
coursework also enables the learners to practice the language a lot and they develop proper
knowledge of various types of words and proper use of English Grammar. These resources can
be considered as teaching resources that helps in increasing knowledge of English.
Learning Resources
Learning Materials that are available for learners enables them to develop proper knowledge
over the Language with the help of systematic guidelines and slowly developing knowledge of
the various usages of Grammar. As per the view of Holmes (2018:54), it is seen that learners try
to develop knowledge of English mainly because it is considered as a language that is used
9

globally as an official language. There are several learning resources of English. Learners can
learn English from books, newspapers and other materials that have been published with proper
depths of the use of the language. English is used in most of the learning materials and learners
are able to develop knowledge over the proper use of tense in particular areas so that they are
able to increase their spoken power and vocabulary of the Language.

All these ways of teaching and developing knowledge over the English language are done by the
learners and teachers so that they are able to develop deep knowledge about the Language. In
most of the cases, it is seen that people of the world try to increase their spoken ability with
proper application of learning and reading materials. These materials are often available to the
learners from their institutes and at other times it is bought by them so that they are able to
develop their knowledge through proper practice. According to Artiles&Kozleski (2016:17),
Teachers use advanced methods like video classes and classroom readings so that the learners are
able to develop proper ideas of the language. Learning methods are often incorporated by
teachers and learners by following certain coursework and textbooks so that they are able to
increase their vocabulary by implementing new objectives as per the learning methods.
LO5: Working with others to develop practice
Task 5
5.1 Liaising with others in a specialist area for developing own practice
In order to develop knowledge over a particular language it is necessary to talk and discuss with
the people who have proper ideas about the language. As per the view of O'Connor (2016:79), all
learners need to remain focused on the knowledge that can be gained from the teachers and
experts and remain liaised with such people so that proper knowledge about the specialist area
can be developed. In the view of Scott et al. (2016:89), a person needs to keep themselves
motivated so that they are able to that developing knowledge over their areas of practice and
choice from the people who practice the same on a regular basis. Learners need to understand
that following experts can help in the development of experience in the particular field and they
can be able to pass on their knowledge to others. Being a participant in developing own practice
10

of English, learners and teachers need to be focused on following reading materials and
coursework that are uploaded by experts in order to increase their ways of application of the
Language.
5.2 Impact of liaison with other trainers and teachers within specialist area for
own practice
Liaison proves to be very helpful for learners and teachers due to several positive impacts that
are brought about by them. Primarily in case of teachers of English, it can be seen that teachers
learn styles of teaching a particular group of students from senior teachers. Knowledge of the
teachers of English is not enough to effectively perform their roles. A teacher needs to apply
their knowledge in such a way so that they are able to transfer it to their students. Skills related to
proper application and implementation processes also needs to be known to the Teachers so that
they are able to educate the learners under them. Further, Liaison enables the teachers to develop
knowledge about the ways in which the learners can be trained by them with the help of ideas
that are achieved from the experts. As per the view of Coady et al. (2016:355), teachers learn
from teachers and are able to increase their efficiency with time. Experience and knowledge of
styles and teaching procedures of Experts needs to be followed effectively so that new teachers
are able to develop their performance in the institution in which they provide the services.
Learners also need to follow the process of Liaison as it enables the growth of individual learners
just like it does for the teachers. Learners are provided with reading materials and course works
from the experts so that that are able to remain in a continuous process of development of
vocabulary of English.
