Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this module, students are required to demonstrate that they are able to:
- Collect and evaluate evidence to enable the current competence of individual learners and groups of learners developing as bilinguals to be identified and accounted for
- Provide information and resources to enable others (including, where appropriate, the learner her/himself and her/his family) to identify the current competence of individuals and groups of developing bilingual learners
- Define the current competence of individuals and groups developing as bilinguals
- Define performance requirements of the curriculum and learning tasks in terms of the linguistic, academic and social development of individual bilingual learners and groups of learners
- Plan, implement and evaluate, with others as appropriate, approaches to the support of individual, or groups of, bilingual learners |
Assessment Information
Students will produce a profile of an individual bilingual learner, providing evidence and an analysis of factors that may affect linguistic, social and academic development. The profile should include an outline description of competence in first and additional languages, together with a critical analysis of the ways in which this description has been compiled.
The student will produce a video/audio of a bilingual learner(s) engaged in an appropriate learning task as part of a group of learners working within a mainstream curriculum area.
The associated written work shall provide a rationale for the design of the task and its implementation, and an analysis of the bilingual learner's or learners' linguistic, academic and social competence during the task and an evaluation of the effectiveness of the task for the learners involved. The analysis and evaluation should lead to recommendations for fututure support in the form of an Individual Education Plan. |
