The document outlines the objectives and activities for several course units. The first unit aims to help students develop a critical perspective on how their past English learning and life choices relate to their goals and dreams. Students will write an autobiography exploring this connection. The second unit focuses on how students have helped friends and what they are willing to do for friends. Students will participate in online discussions about helping friends. The third unit examines how difficult experiences have shaped students' characters and what experiences have made them stronger. Students will write a narrative story about overcoming an obstacle.
Connect Chinese language learning and assessment with the PK-16 focus on literacy and 21st century skills. American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) is facilitating an initiative to guide teachers in a process of collaborative inquiry in which they explore an area of literacy to embed in language instruction to improve learners’ performance. Learn and apply strategies for developing engaging tasks in order to practice and assess this literacy-focused application of language skills. Participants practice using Conversation Builder, a free online tool that guides teachers through the design of several rounds of prompts for learners who wish to explore a single focus or topic as they practice conversation strategies and receive feedback from their teacher. In this workshop, educators design interpretive tasks in which learners demonstrate what they understand from what is heard, read, or viewed – without relying on production of Chinese to assess this receptive skill.
Expand the practice of the Presentational Mode beyond formal writing or memorized presentations to focus on tasks that learners would do in their daily life.

1- The annual learning plan
The annual learning plan is a comprehensive plan of a program of study within an educational project that aims to achieve the global competence of a learning level on the basis of the target competency stated for each domain ( oral interaction, interpretation of oral and written messages and production of oral and written messages) and through an integrated set of learning sections.
Each plan starts from the target competency to achieve and whose development is carried out through a problem-solving situation in its general context that the learner may encounter in his or her school or social life and a set of partial situations conducive to integration and potential remediation. The plan also contains instructions from the “support document” and the “teacher’s guide” and the estimated time to devote to the learning section to ensure an adequate implementation of this latter.

Needs Assessment
1. Demographic profile of the school and student
John, a 6-year-old adolescent is a Hispanic student at Poinciana Elementary School, in Mrs. Vollrath’s classroom. Mrs. Vollrath communicated to me that the student uses English, but he cannot effectively communicate because of the stammering problem. Mrs. Vollrath also stated, John is raised up in a single-family since his father and mother had divorced forcing him to live with his mother alone. The mother is working at the nearby shop where she earns $400 monthly. John is currently having an Individual Education Program (GIS) to help him meet his communication goals. Moreover, John has also been recommended for speech therapy. He started stammering at the age of 6. Later, a psychology assessment established that John was suffering from a serious cognitive disorder. In most cases, he was sad and moody, and sometimes he could withdraw from social situations and become irritable even if no one had annoyed him (Morrison, 2009).

He was also able to write without struggle, listen to the teacher and peers with ease and complete all tasks and homework as assigned. Nonetheless, the main problem with John was speaking because of stammering. In this respect, John could hardly speak with the teacher and fellow students with fluency. He was also unable to can fluently read grade-level texts and could not demonstrate comprehension of grade-level texts as well.

Clinical Field Experience B Humanities Instructional and EngagemeWilheminaRossi174
Clinical Field Experience B: Humanities Instructional and Engagement Strategies 2
I picked Ms. Dawn’s class at Children’s of America in Fredericksburg Virginia, for this week's field excursion. Unbeknownst to me, parent teacher conferences were held last week, providing me with a wealth of experience listening to/observing parent participation and cooperation with their kid and their child's instructor. Despite the fact that I was not permitted to speak to the parents on Ms. Dawn's behalf, I was given the chance to assist Ms. Dawn in planning the meeting and conducting two of the sessions. Apart from that, I was given the bulk of my time in the classroom to engage and interact with the kids, which frequently needed me to utilize my own personal group problem-solving abilities to keep the students on task and focused on the activities at hand. This was a fantastic opportunity for me to meet with the parents and families of Ms. Dawn's remarkable children as well as watch, practice, and reinforce my own problem-solving abilities.
I've always known that leadership and collaboration are critical in any classroom, but I had to take a step back and evaluate just how difficult it is to manage all of the responsibilities that come with being an educator, particularly leadership, social skills, and collaborative practices. Ms. Paddock was able to provide me with a great deal of guidance as I prepare to teach my own class and work with my own students and families. "Your students' parents will (ideally) be their child's number one fan," Ms. Dawn said, "and as an educator, you ought to be their number one fan as well." Make use of this common ground to tell parents how important their child's success is to you as their educator; parents will appreciate it, and kids will become more interested!"
Educators are aware of how kids develop and flourish. They understand that learning and development processes differ from person to person and across cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional, and physical domains. To accommodate these variances, instructors must be able to create and administer developmentally appropriate and demanding learning experiences that are adaptable. The educator meets students where they are, which means they begin with what the student already understands, then they provide guidance and ongoing support as needed. This will change depending on the issue. When introducing new topics, scaffolding is beneficial. The educator scaffolds information and/or assignments based on the student's specific requirements. Educators evaluate individual and group performance on a regular basis in order to plan and alter education to fulfill students' requirements in each area of development (cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional, and physical), as well as scaffold instruction for the next level of growth. The strategy involved when interacting with the students started with first understanding their needs and secondly addressing ...

He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2. The objective of these courses is to
motivate students once again by setting
and achieving challenging learning goals.
The course aims at bringing students that
thirst for discovery and learning they had
when they were in the Basic courses. In
order to motivate students, they are
given the opportunity to explore new
learning strategies with challenging
activities.
3. Homework starts to play an important
learning role again, demanding students
to analyze English from real sources every
day; class activities are based on the
homework assignments and students get
the chance to analyze the different sides
of issues being encouraged to develop
critical thinking skills.
4. 1. Goals should be:
- Clear and specific, describing concrete
outcomes in as much detail as possible.
- Measurable, describing the outcome in terms
that can be clearly evaluated.
- Challenging and difficult, but not outside the
range of students’ capabilities.
-Realistic.
2. Goals should have a stated completion date.
3. Both short and long term goals should be set.
4. Teachers should provide feedback that increases
the students capability of and confidence in
obtaining the goal.
5. 1. Look at the goals students are supposed to
achieve in one of the course units.
2. The second step to plan the road the student
will follow to build the necessary language and
vocabulary and to find the information needed
to complete the task.
3. The third step is to develop a checklist of unit
goals and learning reflections. The checklist is a
tool students can use to monitor their progress.
4. The fourth step is to get students to develop
the activities, stating a clear connection
between the class contents, the unit task and
the online activities.
6. Speaking
Students use basic as well as complex
structures to discuss, compare, give clear,
detailed descriptions, opinions, and
presentations on complex subjects
integrating sub-themes, expanding and
supporting, developing particular points,
giving reasons and relevant examples, and
rounding off with an appropriate conclusion.
Students are active and take risks constantly.
Students also monitor themselves and repair
mistakes when they lead to
misunderstandings.
7. Students can write clear, detailed texts such as
reports, articles, reviews, letters, imaginary and
life experience stories using paragraphs that
connect coherently to the main idea and that
develop significant points. Ideas in the
paragraphs are systematically connected and
support points are expanded giving reasons and
examples. Students also highlight points to make
their texts more interesting depending on the
type of text they write and the kind of audience
that the text is written for.
Students follow a writing process: planning,
writing drafts, revising, and editing in order to
correct mistakes and improve their texts.
8. Students are self-confident readers who use
strategies in order to understand common texts
such as internet and magazine articles, classic
stories, and specialized texts within their field of
interest and other fields provided that they use
monolingual dictionaries to confirm or look up
the meaning of some new words. Students know
how to find specific information in a text, follow
instructions, use texts as meaningful reference
as means for creating a report, and use texts for
information to argument.
Students have understood the importance of
owning a monolingual dictionary.
9. Students use any available tools effectively such as
context, pictures, and background noise to identify
key words, main ideas and details of standard spoken
language, speeches, reports, TV shows, and
broadcasts of both familiar and unfamiliar topics
normally encountered in personal, social, academic
or vocational life. Only extreme background noise,
inadequate discourse structure and/or idiomatic
usage influence the ability to understand. Students
take notes accurately although sometimes they tend
to concentrate on specific words and therefore they
miss some information. Students know what tools
they can use in the CCA, on-line, and at home to
improve their listening comprehension and they also
use these tools to develop challenging goal-oriented
independent work
10. Students have overcome their basic vowel and
consonant pronunciation difficulties and have
started to apply reductions to make their speech
more fluent; students have also applied correct
intonation patterns. Students also use different
tools such as internet, CCA, songs, and self-study
CD to learn pronunciation and intonation
patterns and they apply these patterns they
learn. Students know the IPA and they use it
effectively in class and out of class to pronounce
new words and to check the pronunciation of
words they are not so sure about.
11. Students’ grammar is very accurate. They are
able to use basic structures as well as more
advanced and new structures and a number of
cohesive devices to link sentences smoothly into
clear connected discourse. They know what
grammar structure they need to use in order to
communicate the meaning their idea implies.
They use structures spontaneously and they
monitor themselves and correct themselves
immediately when they make mistakes.
Sometimes they hesitate when creating an idea
that requires the use of a complex structure, but
this hesitation is proof of a self monitoring
learning
12. Students have a clear goal and know how to achieve
it. Students are active speakers and active learners
who easily engage in conversations and use their best
skills to convey messages. They also use learning
tools effectively such as a monolingual dictionary, a
notebook, and the course book. Students are aware
of their weaknesses and strengthening these areas is
part of their short time goals; therefore, they also
devote time out of class for exercises that help them
do so. Students are familiar with strategies for
planning how to approach an idea to be said, a text
to be written, listened to, or read. They also use
strategies to analyze their mistakes and to learn from
their mistakes. Their learning process is now a solid
unit that helps them use their English correctly and
also helps them improve the way they use it.
13. Students can engage in extended conversation on
most general topics giving others time to state
point of view and responding to these points
with clear, concrete, well- structured, and
convincing arguments. Even those times when
students are not familiar with the topic they are
able to express how they feel about it. Students
are also emotionally prepared for giving a speech
on familiar topics and they can interact with
their audience in a friendly environment.
Students can use their English to repair
misunderstandings smoothly without losing the
flow of language
14. Unit Objectives
In this unit students will develop a critical view
on what they have done so far in their lives in
regards to Learning English, what their learning
objectives are and what they are specifically
doing to achieve them. This will give students a
sense to perspective and coherence on how they
are working to achieve their dreams and life
time goals and how English is connected to
them. As students develop the task they will
critically analyze the things they have done and
also how much the choices they have taken have
affected their lives and even what things need to
be done to achieve those dreams. 2852720

could
possibly be done for a friend and what would
never be done.
18. Students will participate in a chinswing.com
discussion in which they propose a solution
for a difficult situation a classmate is going
through. Later, they will listen to their
classmates’ recordings and they will record a
suggestion, opinion, or possible solution for
them depending on how the teacher had
proposed the conversation. After
participating in the conversation students
should write a little reflection about how
they felt during the activity.

will look at what they are now and will reflect on
what things have shaped them into who they are.
How the hard situations they have lived have made
them stronger and have helped them become heroes
in some way. Every hero goes through rough
situations that change them inside. In this unit
students will look at what they are and will share
what have been those remarkable experiences that
have given them the character they have. This unit
marks the end of the first part of the reflective
learning process. In this unit students evaluate the
work done in their goals so far and they state specific
actions to be taken in regards to these goals during
the following course.
