Language Learner profile like assessment

1. Language Learner Profile Project reflection:
Language Learner profile was the assessment of Unit Three, where teaching materials
were designed in order to analyze a specific English language student in areas such
as linguistic needs, problems, and possible future development. Being a student-centered
assessment, in pairs we analyze students’ needs, learning styles in such a way that teacher
conducts a useful methodology for the student. As a result, we had to make a planning (lesson
plan) integrating the data collected and carry them out in a class. For this task, a student of
eighth grade from the Adventist school was selected to be interviewed. Analyzing his
exposure to the English language, I realized that Diego, the interviewee, mostly had problems
of pronunciation and grammar. As a result, it was necessary to create a plan that would focus
on these two aspects.
Moreover, the evaluation required an interview which consisted of two parts:
· Questions in Spanish about your learner´s English-language-learning background.
· Questions in English to elicit sufficient language to characterize the learner´s
linguistic production.
Despite the fact that the study of this case took time, this was very useful because through
the analysis of phonetic transcriptions, I was able to identify phonetics and grammatical
mistakes, general errors and the frequency of them. On the other hand, this course is directly
related to the course pedagogical practice, where different formats of planning are taught to
apply based on skills, objectives, learning outcomes, assessments etc. I
think the purpose of the study was to gain a greater ability to help students who have specific
problems by communicating in English. As a future English teacher, this will help me to
comprehend what are the needs of the students; since the lesson plan will be oriented toward
contextualize particular needs. Thus, I will understand and will attend the problems of the
students in the future.
