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.
