Conclusion, critical reflection and future action () 2,500 words
Edit your literature review using the feedback provided, then continue your assignment, using your reading this time to critically reflect upon what you have seen and tried out in school during your first term.
Analyse the current requirements for teaching the aspect you chose across the age range, for example, by observing how the MFL department in your placement school teaches this aspect. In your teaching, lookout for opportunities to develop pedagogical strategies that help develop the skills and knowledge that you are looking for. Look out for children’s working assumptions and misconceptions in the research literature, or challenges for the teacher, and critically reflect on the pedagogical strategies adopted in school to address them.
Write a conclusion explaining the implications of your findings for you as a beginning teacher, training to teach MFL. Explain also how you will seek to develop your subject knowledge, curricular knowledge or pedagogical knowledge in your second placement.
