INTRODUCTION
Role of Teacher includes reviewing qualification of the students and to identify their
strengths and weaknesses. On the basis of results, it determines methods to acclimatize student to
company. They need to determine the training needs of student for developing right skills and the
knowledge for job. It is suggested that trainees need curriculum, management of the learning,
cognition of the said curriculum, motivation and understanding that the personal factors would
affect learning environment on the occasion. Present report will discuss the learning
professional’s roles and responsibilities as Spanish teacher of primary students, importance of
identifying and meeting individual learner needs, self evaluation of how lessons planned and
types of assessment in education and training. It also covers identifying the media of
communication used in the classroom and analysing the effectiveness of the teaching and
learning approaches.
TASK 1
a) Identify and Analyse roles and responsibilities of the Teacher and analysis of relationship and
boundaries between teaching role and other professional roles
Roles and Responsibilities education and training
Teachers are part of human resource department of company. Roles and responsibilities
of the Teachers are not just limited to company only but towards the students for enabling
development of skills and knowledge of the Teacher through proper training.
Teacher has to supervise development of the training programs to improve performance
of company. They keep watch on production of the training materials like manuals, videos and
other methods for effective training session. They are required to schedule in-house programs for
boosting performance. Teacher has to record the existing training programs for observing
improvements needed. It also analyses whether sessions are helping the workers in enhancing the
performance or not. Queries and doubts of the students have to be resolved by Teachers. An
important responsibility of Teacher includes reporting to management regularly for reporting on
progress of the training and for updating them in case of issues (Surr and et.al., 2017). Teacher
needs to suggest training budget and resources needed for them. An important role includes
updating everyone with new tools and technologies in areas of development. Teachers are also
required to participate in recruitment and selection programs to ensure that capable candidates
are selected for the company.

As a teacher I am required to plan for the overall teaching plan how I would be teaching
students through lessons, resources and other methods. I also work as facilitator for the students
by providing them all the resources essential for their learning and understanding. Being Spanish
teacher I ensure that are provided with language books and learning is delivered through
different methods. In addition to this, I have to made sure that students are getting the things in a
right way by thoroughly reviewing the performance of the students.
Analysis of relationship and boundaries between teaching role and other professional roles.
Personal boundaries: There are many boundaries that as teacher are faced like
confidence, family problems, resources, empathy and other things. Teacher needs to ensure that
the personal boundaries are not affecting their job role. There are situations where these personal
boundaries are influencing the personal behaviour and work. It is essential that the teachers
manage the personal emotions and limits so that they could grow and succeed in their career.
They have responsibilities of educating and training the students with adequate knowledge that
will improve their skills and help them to develop.
Professional boundaries: Boundaries are important in teaching and often implemented by
teachers to ensure the professional relationships are maintained, example ensuring that as teacher
there is degree of the professional distance. Teaching boundary also includes to work within
given limits of role. Students have wide range of issues and queries and as teacher they should
refer students ensuring they are receiving correct advice. It is suggested no matter how good
intentioned being extra helpful and supportive could cause more issues than it will solve if
matters are outside of skills, knowledge and expertise (Tondeur and et.al., 2017). Teachers have
to play their role in the specified limits meeting the team roles and responsibilities. There needs
to be specified communications lines for discussion.
I would ensure analyse my professional boundaries at regular intervals to identify that
they are meeting the standards. I will follow the policies and procedures of the institute in which
I am working. Codes of ethics have to be followed ensuring that proper channel is followed for
communication and complying with the policies.
b) Legislations, regulatory requirements and the code of practice relating to role of Teacher &
trainer
There are different rules and regulations that are applicable to the teachers and trainers
that guides and protects learners and students in typical learning sectors. As Teacher and tutor it
2

is essential to adhere and be aware of current legislative requirements and the code of practice as
expected from job role.
Equality Act, 2010
It aims at protecting the disabled learners/ students and to prevent discrimination at
school. It provides the legal rights to them in area of education, employment, education and
access to the public services/ facilities within reputable organisation. It provides the people rights
of not to be discriminated or harassed. It is unlawful for the education provider to discrimination
learners/ students on the basis of their age, race or religion.
Health & Safety at Work Act 1974
Organisation should make it compulsory for Teachers and the learners to comply and
understand HSWA, 1974. It ensures that Teachers put health and safety of students first. They
have responsibility to minimise risks associated with the repetitive strain injury among the
students. Repetitive movements like typing on keyboard could consistently lead to the RSI and
continuous usage of visual displace can cause eye strain (Shen and Tang, 2018). Teachers have
to be aware of the safety and health requirements of its students in school and adopt for practices
that reduces the risks.
Human Rights Act, 1998
It sets fundamental right and freedom that every individual is entitled. It incorporates
rights set in ECHR into British Law. It ensures that rights of human are not deprived by any
government body or institute. It aims that everyone is treated fairly and equally with dignity and
respect. There should not be discrimination with person based on any ground and have all the
rights to make petition.
Freedom of Information and Data Protection Act, 2005
Main principle of this legislation is to provide people with right to get information about
activities of the public authorities unless otherwise protected for some specific reason. It ensures
that learners and students to know about the public programs. Also it is the responsibility of
Teachers to ensure that data of students and learners is protected and not disclosed to
unauthorised person. There should be proper data protection software in place.
Codes of Practice
Apart from current legislative needs, some codes of practice are there to be adhered as
Teacher in organisation. Codes of practice could be referred as lower level framework
3

documents which provide guidance. Example, IFL brought code of practice for the teachers in
learning sector in year 2008. Codes were developed by professionals for profession and outlined
the behaviour expected from members to benefit the employers (Burgess, van Diggele and
Mellis, 2018), learners, profession and wider community. Organise should disclose the practices
that are unlawful like criminal offences, it is also important for company to notify about
conviction of criminal offence. Codes of practice provides Teachers to work in ethical and legal
manner without exploiting the right of any.
c) Ways in which Teacher has promoted respect for the others, behaviour, equality and valued
diversity through practice.
Importance of promoting appropriate behaviours and respect for the others
It is essential for the Teachers to promote appropriate behaviours for others as it is
essential for conducting the work appropriately and creating healthy work environment. Teachers
should respect every learner and students of the organisation. The notion is right said that one
must give respect for receiving respect. Promotion of appropriate behaviour creates respectful
environment where they will respect the codes and conducts of company. It encourages students
to accept the socio cultural diversity. This helps in integration of structured and dynamic process
among all the members that helps in maintenance and enforcement of peaceful social relations. It
also promotes effective understanding and communication among the team members and
students. Respect for each other helps in encouraging the participation and also to increase the
productivity with reduction in potential risks. In practice I make students learn proper methods of
communication regarding greetings, wishing and such other factors. I make students to develop
sense of equality for each other where no discrimination is made between people. I give students
to perform tasks in group for promoting equality.
Ways to promote equality and value diversity
Promoting equality and diversity is essential for the business environment so that students
develop acceptance for people from diverse areas. Methods of promoting equality and diversity
are:
Engaging students: It explains inclusiveness of the students in different dimensions for
promoting equality and to accept diversified students. This is done by treating all the students
fairly, to create inclusive culture for the students and to ensure equal access to resources and
4

opportunities for enabling students to take active participation in process of learning and the
advancement activities.
Encouraging the team working: It is great way to promote the diversity in school this
enables people from various cultures and the situations to feel safe in the work environment by
encouraging and inspiring students to involve in the team work with different specialists of their
field.
Sharing and celebrating diversity: As the globalisation has emerged at large scale people
across countries are working with each other. The organisations should celebrate the traditional
festivals of students belonging to different cultures. It encourages people to know each other and
create positive environment where people know about each other and respect their cultures. I
make students to celebrate every festival of students from different culture and background that
increases their knowledge and acceptance for others.
Establishing and sustaining safe and inclusive learning environment
Policies and procedures should be framed to cogitate obligations and entitlements of
students. The policies should provide the security for the students and visitors to company to
guarantee inclusive practice.
Tackling discrimination: The negotiations with personnel delegates to put together the
rights, policies and the promptness from top of the organisation which is key to accomplishment
of the policy and strategy. Training should be provided equally eliminating any type of
discrimination.
Confronting issues of bully: It should not be condoned and always followed by suitable
and quick actions (Liu and et.al., 2020). Necessary measures must be taken by the experts for
prohibiting bullying or harassment which might affect students.
Encouraging best practices: It promotes inclusion in the learning where each individual is given
opportunity of showing equal right and choice, of appreciation and the values as humans.
I ensure that proper safety systems exist in the institute for safety of students. I have
made proper communication channel for students where they could report the discrimination if
any faced by the people. I have communicated strict punishments and actions for unethical
practices in the institution.

TASK 2
a) Roles and methods of the initial and diagnostic assessment in agreeing individual goals
Teachers and the support staff must be able to evaluate the individual trainees' strengths
and requirements to design and also to implement the appropriate and effective development
strategies. To accomplish this, I as Teacher have to emphasise over minimum core skills like
research and cognitive skills, numeracy and technical skills, communication skills and field
related skills that helps in application of everything learned. Moving towards holistic approach
helps to ease the stress both over learners and Teacher that helps in success. It is suggested that
trainees need curriculum, management of the learning, cognition of the said curriculum,
motivation and understanding that the personal factors would affect learning environment on the
occasion. Trainees deserve right of achieving their potentials and with this learner will be having
different aspirations and goals and the challenges. With use of the ILPs, as Teacher I support and
learner record needs and also tracks the progress (Jackson, 2017). The negotiation is powerful
tool between learners and Teachers for the learners to strategize own path of reaching the
learning needs.
Initial assessment – Initial assessment refers to method of identifying support and
learning needs for enabling design of individual learning plan that would provide structure for
learning programme.
Diagnostic assessment – It refers to form of the pre – assessment where the teachers
could evaluate strengths, weaknesses, skills and knowledge before instruction. The identical
assessment that could be given the post instruction for identifying whether students have met
learning objectives of course.
As Teacher I have to implement differentiation strategies that will meet needs of the
learners, for ensuring that the optimal learning has been taken place and also equality has been
upheld. All learners are different some are unique where some needs more support. Use of the
different approaches and resources helps to support the learners with specific requirement and
helping them to achieve success. This could be achieved using the assessments like diagnostic
and initial assessments. During the initial assessment process, I found out about if the learner is
having any individual needs and the additional support which might be needed. Using this
approach, I can help myself in planning the course which meets with the needs of the learners.
6

Shift from the trainer as teacher to trainer as facilitator leads to effective use of the
training time and interactions between Teachers and learners. Every student has different
personality and this is essential that array of training styles is used to provide the learner best
chance of the success (Vega-Hernández and et.al., 2018). It is done through initial assessments
that helps to identify the process through they learn the best.
To identify and create SMART goals with learners will give them sense of participation
in training journey. It makes them feel sense of active and personal engagement with education
and seeing positive direction in the development. Active engagement leads to adaptive learning
that will better prepare learners for the future business operations and tasks. It allows me to
challenge and stretch the students effectively based over achievement of the targets and goals.
It is critical that at beginning of the new training diagnostic assessment is taken within its
first week. It gives clear indication where the individual is and its important tool for highlighting
the areas where students require additional guidance and support (Hyland, 2019). Assessment if
conducted correctly could act as measure of success of programme and to provide essential
feedbacks to learners and Teachers for developing future learnings. It is conducted through
assessment of technical and field knowledge to identify that skills are vital for performing the
business operations and for future employability development. It confirms that learners have
ability of performing the job in organisation.
Teachers play an integral role in overall development and growth of the children. It is
analysed from the baseline that if methods of diagnosis are not effective than the results drawn
will also be ineffective. It could be identified that students require close monitoring by teachers
so that they could identify their strengths and weaknesses (Teh and et.al., 2017). I as a teacher
spend time on students to analyse what they are good at using different methods like in playing
games, grasping things and their activeness. Based on all these methods I evaluate the students
and then frame strategies so that it is easy for me to help students to grow and develop their
knowledge.
As per Kolb's experiential learning cycle in addition with the planning the identification
of needs is also helpful in deciding whether learner has taken right course or there is more
suitable course to help them. The needs could potentially have identified at enrolment stage or at
initial assessment.
7

b) Importance of identifying and meeting the individual learning goals with learners
As teacher it is essential for the teachers to identify that they understand the individual
needs of the learner and using this approach for teaching. Moving towards holistic approach will
help to ease the stress on both students and teachers in classroom, creating receptive environment
which will help in success of students.
It is suggested that the learners should be provided with a curriculum, cognition to the
curriculum, the management of the learning skills, encouragement for learning and
understanding of personal factors that would affect learning environment on the occasion. It
could be said that through assessment I have understood the level at which student needs the
structure to plan effectively (Pedro and et.al., 2018). Every learner deserves to achieve the
potential and this will help the learner to have different aspirations, goals and challenges. With
use of the ILPs, I support and also record needs of learners and track their progress. The
negotiation between student and teacher is strong tool which allows the students to strategize
their path for reaching the learner needs.
Kolb is of the belief that learning is process where the knowledge is gathered from
transformation of the experience. This theory presents cyclical model of the learning which
consists of four stages. One could begin by any stage however is required follow them in
sequence as concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization and the active
implementation (Ouf and et.al., 2017). I lead and facilitate the teaching environment through
planning for the individual learners need identifying their learning styles, using appropriate
resources such as video, audio etc., and also discovered from evaluation of their assessment
using Learning Style Inventory created by Kolb that encourages and promotes learner centred
and also fun independent as every learner develops and chooses understanding of learning
preferences and is used for enhancing their learning experience.
I requested the students to seat in informal way such as seating sideways or in other
manner. It was seen that students accepted seating arrangement in class to accommodate the
different styles of learning in traditional chair and desk. This allows them to concentrate and
perform better and also to engage in learning. I adopt for different methods for learning such as
games, reading learning, design, images, poster etc. which retains the attention and creates
interest of students in learning new things.
8

I believe that the learning models ease process of relating the instructional activities for
individual learning methods, they increase ability of learners to acquire as well as to retain
knowledge after they are armed with knowledge about they have learned and also able to select
the activities, which allows them to quickly learn and retain new information. It will result in
more productive learning and assessment. Teachers by identifying how sessions could be
adapted which meets individual needs of learners can enable the students to learn in more
effective manner. It is seen that teachers by making special arrangements for the students could
help them to meet the learning criteria and develop their skills and knowledge which is needed
by subjects. Every student should be taken care of and should be given equal importance without
any discrimination on the basis of religion, background, gender or disability.
Once the need of the learner is identified and if it is beyond the scope of the teacher then
it is better to refer the learner to the right specialist or agency or if it is within the scope, it is
better to take advice or refer learner to someone who can help as teachers are not trained in every
field. Example of referrals involves, the contacting first aiders pertaining to the health concerns
or providing advice on financial concerns.
TASK 5
Planned lessons for meeting the individual needs of the learners
In respect to planning my lessons in regard to effectively meeting with the needs and
requirements of learners, I have first identified the goals of the learners and based upon this
determined what they have to do in order to meet it (Owiny and et.al., 2019). For instance, I have
proposed them few books which will help them in finding answers to their most common and
uncommon questions. In this way, the learners will be able to gain an opportunity in progress
their learning by providing them relevant resources which are needed to be used. The planning
meets with the individual requirements of the learners as each learner can easily use the material.
Students having problem in reading the written material, then extra amount of time is being
provided to them, motivating the student, using large font text, helping the student in visualizing
the what is read for effective learning. In case of difficulty in writing, formates like MCQ, match
the following is used, use of games like scrabble is used for making it easy.
9

Ways in which teaching and learning plans are adapted for meeting with specific needs of
learners
All the students and learners can achieve their goals but it is important to maintain
discipline within and outside the classroom. Therefore, by promoting right behaviour will assist
the learners to be responsible. The lesson and the tasks should be done in a good environment
and students should be able to control themselves during the class (Muñoz Martínez and Porter,
2020). My own practice has realized that a positive environment will result into creating a good
work outcome. The positive, calm and peaceful environment provides each learner to feel happy
and comfortable. A happy student will make active participation leading to achieving the specific
needs. I have used graphics and technology for making the learning effective and interesting.
Ways adapted the lessons for two contrasting learners
In the case of G&T learners who are the high achievers, does not require much of the
attention as they have significantly high intellectual ability. Under such situation, for gifted
students, the lessons are needed to be constructed from the upper levels, creating and evaluating.
Also, while constructing the lesson plan, the questions should be written in such a way which are
open-minded and needs more thoughtful response (Green and Stormont, 2018). In contrast, in
case of low ability learners, I would provide the learner with the direct instructions in which the
student is taught what is required to be done exactly which avoids the chances of
misinterpretation and confusion.
Minimum core elements have been demonstrated in planning, delivering and assessing of
inclusive teaching and learning
The goal of the minimum core is to involve numeracy, ICT and Literacy within the
specialist subject. As I teach Spanish the involvement of ICT is not necessary and occasionally I
give tasks to the students which is not required to done on computer which helps in getting
students out of their comfort zone. I have provided various types of assignments to the students
which helps them in involving mind in answering the questions which cannot be searched out on
computer. This will help in effective thinking and writing in Spanish. For starter literacy and
numeracy will be embedded which will help the students in understanding the critical part of
computer and its usage in various field. This will help in making students realize that it is
numeracy based activity. In addition, for enhancing literacy, I would be asking particular word
meaning like providing a metaphor of computing term. It is two pros, one is to embedding
10

literacy and the second is to ensure everyone's understanding as the computing terms are
associated with the non-computing terms. In this way, these three core elements will be
connected in such a way that teaching and learning becomes easy.
TASK 6
a) Purpose and types of assessment in learning
It refers to the ways to find ways in which learning is taking place. This enables to
ascertain if the learner has gained required knowledge, skills, attitudes or understanding and the
behaviours which are needed at given point of time towards the learning programme. It provides
the learners with opportunity for demonstrating the progress which is made and also what is
learnt so far. If teachers do not plan and carry out the assessment with learners they will not be
able to know, how better and what is learnt by them (Altınay, 2017). Assessment is done of
learners where the evaluation is done of programme. As teacher I have to constantly make the
judgements and also require to know the impact of comments and the grades on confidence of
the learners when decision is made or feedback is given.
As teacher I first understand the ability of students to know their potential strengths and
weaknesses to frame the strategies for growth of the students. There are different methods of
carrying out assessment of students through which teachers could identify the effectiveness of
their learning programmes and also the resources used for teaching them. Based on the
assessment teacher is able to identify areas where student is good and where it requires
improvement (Daniela, Kalniņa and Strods, 2017). At the same time, it also helps to evaluate
whether the learning methods and resources used by teacher is effective or not.
The different types of assessment are:
Formative Assessment: It is essential part of learning and teaching. It is an ongoing
process that continues throughout the learning process. The teachers check the progress and
performance of students in learning. This helps the teachers to plan learning to achieve the
learning goals of students.
Summative Assessment: It is conducted at end of the process to confirm the achievement
known as assessment of the learning. This could be referred as final assessment of students that
shows their academic performance. It provides data for the teachers that so that could identify
strong and weak children.
11

Initial assessment: It is the process of determining and individual’s learnings and meeting
with the needs for enabling the design of an individual learning plan.
Diagnostic assessment: These assessments are pre-tests and they typically fill in as a
gauge for how much pre-stacked data an understudy has about a subject. The word diagnosis is
characterized as an investigation of the nature or state of a circumstance, which is by and large
how instructors will in general utilize them.
b) 10 different methods of assessment and purpose, benefits and limitations in education.
Assessment is described as collection, interpretation and the use of information with
respect to learning. It gives teacher better awareness regarding knowledge of people,
understanding, their learning experiences, their skills, personal characters and the capabilities.
Assessment should be in synchronisation and supportive to learning. It needs to be valid, it
should be manageable and proper (Afanasiev and et.al., 2018). Assessment should support
judgement of the teacher and should also support accountability.

3. Phonics tests This phonics
screening tests seeks
to evaluate the
understanding of the
students pertaining
to decode words
using the phonics to
the required level.
The major advantage
of this assessment is
to help the children to

The drawback
pertaining to this is
that the existing
knowledge and
understanding of the
teacher’s knowledge
of phonics affects their
ability to teah.
4. Exam This assessment
arrives at very end
of learning sequence
and used to record
overall achievement
of the students at

It is used for final
assessment and to test
the learning of

external validity and
can test large
numbers of students.
Unlikely to match the
goals and objectives of
a program. It provides
result only at end of
learning.
5. Open book The main idea
behind using this is
that teachers can
devise questions that
require students to
answer in a more
critical way along
with high
application of
thinking skills.
It reduces burden on
the students to
memorize everything
as they can check the
books. Also, it is a
second chance of
getting knowledge.
Limitation is that there
is not surety of
equality as it is
difficult to judge
whether students were
equally prepared for
the exam.

c) Three methods and their effectiveness in enhancing learning of students.
As my field is of Spanish language in primary school the Phonics tests, SATs and
Observation is most useful.
Phonics tests: This assessment will help in effectively enhancing the capability and
thinking skills of the students. Under this the students are expected to sound out and the bend out
the graphemes in order to read simple words. It will help in building relations between the sound
and the words.
SATs: This assessment will result into assisting the students in understanding the words
and reading, writing and speaking words fluently. This will result into improving the efficiency
of the student in understanding the things and then learning which is called as effective learnings
which remains for a long term.
Observation: The learners are being observed in the class and while performing the tasks,
activities which provides a live evidence or the proof pertaining to the evidence captured which
can be utilized for later analysis. It also validates the achievement of the student by the way of
successful demonstration of the competencies (Hodges and et.al., 2020). It helps in undertaking
the steps which will help in providing and helping students in enhancing their learnings.

TASK 7
a) Explain and identify communication medium used in classroom and benefits and limitations in
teaching
If the communication method is not useful than it may not allow students in right manner
and they may not get right information. The communication method mainly falls under three
categories which are non - verbal, verbal and the written.
Digital media
Media could be used as component for the active learning practices. It includes use of
digital media to enhance the learning experience of students. Effective communication bridges
knowledge and learning for students. Use of media has fastened and eased the learning
experiences. Students could get practical knowledge by using media in the classroom only
without going out. It engages the students. Helps to retain learning, keeps interest in subject and
also illustrates relevance of different concepts. Media like other learning and teaching techniques
needs to be used judiciously in learning process. It could be used for motivating the discussion or
understand the concepts. There are various important considerations for the faculty before it
integrates the media or asks students to develop or use media in the courses.
Existing resources could use in the lectures for stimulating interest and to develop
knowledge of concept being taught. The traditional approach of learning is teacher centric where
information is pushed to learners (Darling-Hammond and et.al., 2017). It allows teacher in
facilitating transfer of the expert knowledge for new learners. Tremendous technological change,
the teachers are now facing challenge to choose most effective platform to get the students. The
teachers could create own media to efficiently and effectively convey the knowledge. The
existing resources could be used for engaging students and to facilitate the active learning
strategies to promote deeper knowledge. Media facilitates useful platform for the cooperative
learning, teaching with the cases, problem solving and also interactive learning demonstrations.
But on the other hand, it is very costly and not everyone can afford it which is its major
challenge.
Face to face communication
It is verbal communication method where teacher have direct communication with the
students without the use of any other method. This is most common and useful method to make
16

students understand about the subject. Teacher is required to have proper behaviour, body
language, eye contact, smile, greetings and adequate language. These characteristics must be
there in the teacher so that they could teach students properly. It involves direct teaching where
students are made to learn the language by explaining the meanings of words directly in face to
face communication. It becomes very difficult for the students and teachers to retain their interest
in the subject without direct communication. Physical existence enables them to retain attention
of students in classroom and also teachers could identify whether they are able to retain interest
of listeners.
I have been using different methods in verbal communication to retain the interest of
students in subject like involving the students in discussions, question and answers and direct
talking. Discussion with students open their mind and explores their thinking capacities. It allows
the students to keep their views and points in discussion and also to listen others in group. It
helps in active team building skills and interactive skills which enables them to learn faster and
have deep understanding. I as teacher also able to identify students who are able to keep their
views and who are having good points but no able to keep them in discussion. It allows to
develop methods through which skills of students could be enhanced (Gilson and et.al., 2017).
Question and answer session between me and students makes students active and attentive to
listen things carefully. At the same time, it also helps to identify who have been able to
understand and how many of students are paying attention and able to retain things being taught.
Role play
It is face to face communication method that involves the interaction of students with
each other. It is an effective method that helps to socialise with other students of the class and
involving them in extracurricular activities. The method enhances the understanding of the
subject and develop communication skills. It encourages the students to involve in different
methods through which knowledge could be gained and they could be made to understand.
Advantage of this communication method is that it involves interaction and learning at the same
time. Teachers could assess students who are able to perform well and have clear understanding
the knowledge and concept, who are good in communication, good in socialising and such other.
I have conducted role play in my class to assess the understanding of the students for
Spanish language. As class was having students from diversified background and regions it
helped to socialise with each other to develop their individual personality. Though the method is
17

effective but primary students find it difficult to perform the role plays. I am not able to evaluate
the actual strengths at once through role play method however it is effective and helps in
personality development of students. This media is having limitation like the students might not
like the role provided to them which makes them sad or unhappy leading to not actively taking
part in it.
Power point Presentation
The method is also communication medium used by teachers to make students
understand about subject. It involves only one-way communication where teacher explains the
concepts or lessons to the students through use of pictures and small briefs. It involves verbal
and non-verbal communication both as in verbal communication it constantly teaches the
students through speaking and in nonverbal communication knowledge is given through the
pictures and images. I have been using this method of communication to retain the interest of
students towards learning by teaching them through different methods (Zagona and et.al., 2017).
Power point presentation allows me to teach with the help of images and posters. The students of
primary classes are able to understand better and it also encourages their curiosity about new
things and to ask questions. This session is turned into two-way communication when students
starts asking question about the different words and their usage. Learning through PPT enables
them to get practical knowledge so that they could identify what is said in Spanish. It has a
relevance in learning experience and teaching experience both. I am able to teach more
effectively and also when students are given visual presentation, they are able to retain things for
longer period. However, all the things could not be explained using this method and it has
limited scope. It also develops active listening habits among the students as they have to listen
carefully to understand the things.
TASK 8
a) Analysing effectiveness of learning and teaching approaches used to deliver and assess
learning
There are different methods of learning which are available to students used for effective
delivery of subject knowledge and key concepts. If approach of teaching used is not proper and
effective than it may not result in active and effective learning. Among the different approaches
used for learning as primary teacher I use cooperative learning, graphical organiser, inquiry
18

based learning, use of technology and other methods. I make division of students in different
groups who then work together on the simple assignment in the cooperative learning. It is
effective on grounds which created elevated thinking skills, support diversified understanding,
develop social interaction, expand maintenance, promotes good mentality for topic and also
builds self-confidence (Teaching and Learning, 2020). The cooperative learning makes students
to develop their verbal communication skills, makes students to be more engaged and cause less
trouble. It encourages the obligation of students regarding their learning, it animates the critical
thinking by discussions and the students also have the capacity of seeing circumstances from the
different point of view.
Downfall with the cooperative learning is that the students may develop group dynamic
issues and conflicts between the group members that could slow down or decrease ability of
cooperation. It encourages students to develop conflict resolution skill. Group members can have
diverse abilities, beliefs and the understanding and this mismatch could give birth to the conflicts
(Kath and et.al., 2020). The cooperative learning could lead to the uneven workload as developed
students have control over slower students and they may depend over them. It prompts the
uneven learning and few students to fall behind.
I also used to inquire based learning in the small cases and group projects. It enables
students to do understand the question, creative investigation and questioning skills. The learning
approach makes subject more significant and genuine from functional. The curiosity stimulates
and prepares mind of students for learning (Shute and Rahimi, 2017). Students hold and get more
facts because of curiosity effect on mind and makes students to involve in learning through
participation. The approach guideline strengthens the curriculum content and then enhances
comprehension of the core concepts. It also makes promotion of profound comprehension of the
content. The students for most part are curious to discover answers on when? Why? Where?
Who? And when? It makes students more responsible for the learning of subject which helps to
build self-course and initiative as the transferable skills are enhanced. It provides the opportunity
to take use of the different instructional techniques that engage different learning styles in
students.
Confinement of the learning process are that recognises how students are 'learning how to
learn' that could be a difficult task. It is troublesome for the moderate students as they work from
the limited pre-knowledge base and also have absence of the self-discipline (Pane and et.al.,
19

2017). Strategy requires considerable time for planning, keeping end goal in mind to address
issues of students as needs deep assessing and monitoring students which is troublesome task.
The effectiveness of learning approach plays an important role in success of teacher as it enables
the students to learn better and accurately.
I have also used technology in classroom as in current time use of technology has become
very essential for effective learning. Incorporation of technology into learning is great way for
actively engaging students, especially as the digital media surrounds present world. Smart
boards, interactive white boards or the mobile devices are used to display the images as well as
videos that helps the students to visualise the new academic concept. I use smart boards in the
class to make learning experience more interactive when the technology has been used. It
enables me to show them posters, images and videos that help in practical learning. The students
are more actively engaged in the classroom and it instantly research the ideas that develop
autonomy. I have analysed that use of technology in classroom increases attention of students
and reduces disturbance from students (Capp, 2017). As students are living in modern world of
digitalisation and its use will allow to learn better.
The drawback of the method is that it may deviate the students from subject and it is
difficult as teacher to maintain control over both students and the communication medium. It
involves considerable time to prepare the presentation and to search for topics. It may deviate the
attention of students from subject to other areas when they are involved in learning through
posters and videos. It becomes difficult for the teachers to keep students towards the subject
learning and not to deviate towards other things.
I use six strands of the equality and diversity are handouts for the instance makes
dynamic and a comprehensive session from the start they have conveyed to each student that
enables them to partake and follow. Handouts provides the students with guidelines regarding
what and how it is to be done. Handouts are made particularly for the students in special need.
Other hand out are made in bold and bigger prints for students having sight issues while the
others are in Braille for visually impaired (Richmond and et.al., 2017). It is not required to be
packed with information, images and bullet points used to enhance the readability.
Behaviour management approach is also an effective tool for managing the behaviour of
students and also for gaining the respect of students and ensuring that students are having equal
chances of reaching to full potential. Disruptive classroom fails to provide productivity in
20

learning and understanding things, developing atmosphere of the mutual respect through
combination of the reward and discipline proves beneficial for students. I have conducted various
interactive and fun activities for the primary students where they move up and down with
behaviours from top students receiving prize at end of week. This approach is highly beneficial
for the students at lower age as they move as per behavioural patterns and encouraging them to
win the prizes and rewards will help them to do better. It is seen children put their efforts for
winning pries like chocolates, toys and such other things. Therefore, I find this approach as
useful for the students who put their efforts for achieving higher goals. However, the drawback
of this approach is that the underperforming students lose their confidence seeing winning
students and they stop putting efforts for improvement. It leads to formation of different groups
of students performing well and underperforming students. This thing affects the learning of
students.
All the approached used by me is being consulted with the lecturer and it has been
reviewed that, it is very effective in carrying out the planning of the lessons, appropriately
delivering the lessons and conducting the assessment of the learnings of the students.
b) Effectiveness of practice in planning, delivering and assessing the inclusive learning and
teaching.
In planning to provide inclusive programme, an initial assessment of learners was carried
out of learners to know the views that could help in designing most effective way to achieve the
goals and objectives. Initial assessment could be carried out through direct interviews, one to one
communication, reading and observations through records. Through assessment record handy, I
have incorporated them in lesson plan as contents define planning. It is effective in manner, that
it is used in different teaching and classroom activities reflecting on the views and materials,
resources and equipment to match up skills and knowledge of learners. It means that learner gets
fair share of the knowledge that enables to meet requirements (Hamodi, López-Pastor and
López-Pastor, 2017). The use of different activities of assessment are essential for those who use
different methods for learning.
I have also prepared individual learning plan in which curriculum for students is designed
accordingly, monitored, implemented and also evaluated. Along with this, SMART goals are
also set up to attain the specific targets as teacher for self and students. The goals are attainable,
measurable, relevant, attainable and timely. The plans and goals are tailor made towards every
21

individual that promotes inclusiveness. I have also taken out time for the feedback from others
and learners to identify if the goals are being achieved, assessment provides where goals are not
achieved or where improvements are required (Learning Approaches. 2019). If goals are not
achieved than the adjustments are made for making sure that students are learning effectively.
Feedback is taken in the form of assignments, tests, portfolios, individual presentations, question
answers, there is one to one interactions and other that evidence helps to facilitate achievement.
In relation with own practice, I also require improvements in my profession like updating
with different learning approaches, technologies and vocational qualifications. In language
annual training must be conducted to provide about new words or methods that could be adopted
for ensuring that learning is being conducted in effective manner. Training models must be
appropriate that provide in depth understanding needed (Singh and Thurman, 2019). I require
improvement over action planning as it helps to focus over ideas and to decide steps required to
be taken for achieving the particular goals. Effective action plan has SMART goals. It will be
effective when I am preparing lesson plans, but difficulties are faced sometimes to reach the
aims. The current qualification requirements are also required to be checked that they are
meeting the changes and developments required to deliver productive learning.
Dyslexic:
For Dyslexic students,
handouts are specially made
for helping them and also, I
will try to engage the student’s
senses to read through the way
of giving them magnets letter
for putting together. I will
provide them with audiobooks
and spell-checking software
for getting them right.
Autistic:
Such learners are
provided with better pictures
and demonstrations with
limited verbal guidelines and
will also provide more visual
cues as and when possible.
Visual needs:
Encouraging students to
use the visual aid resources
which has been suggested and
such students are seated in
front and proper oral
instruction is given in case
students misinterpret the
written instructions. Also,
worksheets with enlarged print
is given to them which makes
it easy for them to read.
22

Thus, all these learning approaches have resulted into effectively delivery and assessment of
the learnings and meeting with the individual needs of the individual learners.
CONCLUSION
It could be concluded from the above report that their teacher plays an important role in
the growth and success of the students therefore it is essential that they are provided with all the
required resources and tools. Different tools and techniques are there which could be used for
enhancing the learning of students. It is clear from the above report that where the individual is
and its important tool for highlighting the areas where students require additional guidance and
support
