Use learning unit 1 Understanding the adolescent learner and Learning Unit 2 Home
language teaching, principles and approaches in a multicultural society to answer the
following questions (1.1, 1.2). (40 marks)
Question 1.1
Elaborate on the various stages experienced by adolescent learners, detailing their
influence on your personal philosophy regarding language teaching and learning.
Use the following guidelines to prompt your thinking.
1. Outline three phases of adolescent learners as well as the physical, social and
cognitive development characteristics of experiences by adolescents at each of
these stages.
Early Adolescence (Ages 10-13):
Physical Development: This phase is marked by rapid physical changes due to puberty,
including growth spurts, changes in body shape, and the onset of secondary sexual
characteristics such as breast development in girls and facial hair growth in boys.
Social Development: Adolescents in this phase are beginning to seek independence
from their families and form closer bonds with peers. They may also start to explore
romantic relationships, albeit in a relatively innocent and exploratory manner.
Cognitive Development: Early adolescents are developing more sophisticated thinking
skills, including the ability to think abstractly and reason logically. However, they may
still struggle with impulse control and decision-making as their brains continue to
develop.
Middle Adolescence (Ages 14-17):
Physical Development: Adolescents in this phase experience further physical
maturation, with continued growth and the completion of puberty-related changes. They
may also become more concerned with body image and engage in behaviors to conform
to societal standards of attractiveness.
