Summary

Well done, you have completed Part 2. This part of The TKT Course: Young Learner Module aimed to extend your understanding and skills in planning and preparing lessons for young learners, and in analysing, selecting, adapting and modifying materials and resources for learning. This part also developed your knowledge and skills in preparation for the second part of the TKT: YL Module test: Planning and preparing young learner lessons.

Look back to the introduction to this part of the book. There, you assessed your understanding before beginning the unit. Re-assess your understanding in each area.

You also wrote some questions or identified areas to find out more 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.
