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.
