You have come to the end of Part 3. This part of The TKT Course: Young Learner Module aimed to deepen your awareness and skills relating to teaching young learners in the classroom. You explored scaffolding strategies, practice activities and areas of classroom management. This part of The TKT Course: Young Learner Module also supported your knowledge and skills in preparation for the third part of the TKT: YL Module test:
Teaching Young Learners.
Look back to the introduction to Part 3. You assessed your level of understanding before beginning the unit. Re-assess your understanding in each area.
You also identified questions or areas to find out about in each unit. How well do you think you have achieved these? What can you do to better achieve those you need to work on? For example:
Re-read a section of the unit(s).
Re-do or do more exploration activities (Second C of each unit).
Discuss the unit(s) content with other teachers in your school or network.
Re-do the TKT: YL practice task(s).
Look in the TKT glossary or the glossary in this book to check meanings of key terms and concepts you are unsure about.
Reflect on your classroom teaching more closely.
Look for other readings or resources on the topic(s).
Write yourself two or three objectives for further learning and development in your TKT: YL PD Journal.
