personalised learning There are a number of strategies that can be used in schools to ensure that key aspects of personalised learning take place. A key aspect of personalised learning is high quality teaching and learning in Foreign Languages such as Spanish. One strategy is ‘direct teaching’ (DfES 2007, Moore 2009; Muijs and Reynolds 2011) which can be used to implement high quality teaching and learning.

Since the No Child Left Behind Act was signed into law in 2002, many people have been concern about children’s learning and academic achievement, especially parents and educators. In fact, teachers are always trapped in “teaching dilemmas” because each teaching method has different levels of pros and cons for students. Wiggins and McTighe (2005) suggested that for all of the choices that teachers have during a day of instruction,…

Assessment and Evaluation is the final on-line course required to complete the certificate of Teaching and Training Adults. It involved learning methods of assessment and evaluation in order to determine if learning has been successful.

When it comes to learning in math class I prefer more of a hands on teaching style, teachers that stand up and lecture the whole class make learning harder.

On the other hand, in many classes throughout our program, we discussed the role that the teacher may have under Sociocultural understanding of language acquisition. Please, compare the two takes on the teacher’s role in the classroom. How would you explain…
