Scots as a language learning option in schools


4. Application

Activity 10


Using the notes and ideas that you began to gather during the tutorial, complete steps 1–5.

  1. In your own time, continue planning your chosen activity, adding more detail where required.

  2. Try out the planned activity with your learners. You might want to gather some feedback from your learners about the activity as well, which you can bring to the module and share with your fellow students.

  3. Write an account of 250–300 words, highlighting the successes and challenges you encountered when applying what you have learned in terms of pedagogy and language. It may be helpful to consider these questions:

    • What do you think worked particularly well in your classroom application?

    • Is there anything you would do differently if you were to repeat this lesson?

    • What are the next steps for your learners?

    • How will you provide further opportunities to practise and reinforce what was learned?

  4. Then post your reflective account in the Course forum. Read and comment constructively on an application task post by another colleague.
