Write a teaching statement of not more than 1000 words in which you explain
your beliefs and thoughts about what is important in teaching and
learning a home language. This teaching statement must make reference to
the teaching of adolescent learners in the FET phase.
, Beliefs about teaching and learning have a significant impact on the nature of
teachers' instructional strategies and students' learning processes.
Researching beliefs is essential to understanding the educational processes
of teachers and students since beliefs are contextual, personal, and
influenced by social and cultural systems. Childhood and adulthood are
connected by adolescence. During this stage, both the male and female
prepare for adulthood. The adolescent years can be both confusing and
thrilling. Independence and identity issues might arise during transition. In a
cultural context, this stage comprises development on the social, emotional,
psychological, and moral levels. A teacher should set an example for their
students by helping them learn the language. Therefore, they should base
their acts on a sound philosophical synthesis of theory and practice. If the
conversations and explanations are not grounded in real-world applications
and examples, they are meaningless.
Understanding teenage learners' learning needs necessitates knowledge of
both their social dynamics and cognitive development. The capacity to
consider a wide range of possibilities in a circumstance is one of the most
complex cognitive abilities that adolescents develop. Teenagers can transition
from concrete to abstract thought, picturing things they haven't seen or
experienced, as they improve their abstract thought. Teenagers are able to
experience advanced problem-solving, love, and contemplate spirituality
because to this.
When instructing, a teacher must relate linguistic concepts to the lives of the
students and present new ideas utilizing activities, resources, and prompts
that are relevant to the students' past experiences. What is taught can be
related to by all students. Adolescent learners' principal challenge is that they
are in a transitional stage, necessitating the discovery or reevaluation of
significant connections among fundamental academic ideas, relevant topics,
and student experiences. Learning languages is aided by these links.
What should educators do? Above all, be patient, understanding, and
supportive. The importance of having a supportive adult in a teen's life cannot
be overstated. Teachers are crucial during this stage of development because
teenagers typically pay more attention to them than to their parents, who are
viewed as rivals. Teachers may benefit from students' desire for fresh
experiences and creative inquiry by designing engaging, exciting, and
inclusive lessons that provide students the chance to explore and grow their
feeling of autonomy and internal locus of control. Teenagers learn better when
the classroom setting is friendly and psychologically comfortable. Investing in
good relationships with teenagers will improve learning outcomes. Remember
that teenagers won't learn from professors they dislike!
