Summary HLT3701 ASSIGNMENT 2 2023

QUESTION 1: (15) 1.1 Incidental learning involves using naturally occurring opportunities and interactions with the environment to teach skills, provide information, and increase a desired behaviour (Study guide for HLT3701). Briefly explain how you would facilitate the learning of the four language skills incidentally by creating a language-rich classroom for Grade R learners. Discuss at least THREE (3) activities that you would do in your Grade R class. (3x3) (9) 1.2 According to Clay (1972), reading does not just happen overnight but emerges or is developed slowly over many years. Briefly analyse how a learner’s background influences their reading readiness. (6) QUESTION 2: (10) Phonemic awareness involves the recognition of sound in spoken language, which is developed in children even before they recognise and read letters (Partin 2015). Use the knowledge of the five stages of teaching phonemic awareness that you have learned in this module to demonstrate how it will help you to teach your Grade 1 class. QUESTION 3: (10) Carefully read the following case study and answer the questions that follow. Noma’s mother is a teacher. She likes to read. There are always magazines and books in the house. The family moved to the suburbs of Johannesburg when Noma was very young. Noma’s father goes to the local library every Saturday. He chooses books for himself and one or two for Noma and then reads them to her at home. Noma’s parents often take her and her little brother to the shops and point out the names of the items they buy. They also talk to Noma in the car as they drive and point out different things they see, such as animals, trees, a hospital, or a park. Noma loves to share this new learning with her parents. 3.1 Identify the language development stage that Noma is at. Motivate your answer with reasons. (6) 3.2 Illustrate at least TWO (2) techniques that you would use to assist Noma’s language development in class. (4) QUESTION 4: (15) Study the following picture and answer the questions below: 4.1 Identify the teaching strategy that the teacher is using in the above image. (2) 4.2 Identify the language skills that the learners in the picture will acquire from the lesson. (3) 4.3 Name the lesson that you think the teacher is teaching. Use examples to support your answer. (6) 4.4 Demonstrate your knowledge of assessment by outlining TWO (2) assessment strategies that you can use to assess Grade 1 learners in the lesson. (4) QUESTION 5: (20) There are a number of techniques and methodologies that can be used to help children to write expressively and creatively. 5.1 Design an activity where you will be teaching writing skills to your Grade 3 class using the shared writing strategy. (8) 5.2 Create a scoring rubric that you will use to assess the learners’ work. (6) 5.3 Design a checklist that you will use to record the learners’ work. (6) QUESTION 6: (30) Planning your lessons gives you structure and helps you to spend your teaching time efficiently, and ensure progress is being made by allowing you to reflect on the outcomes of your lessons which will inform your teaching. Design a lesson where you will develop speaking skills in your Grade 2 learners using any topic of your choice. Refer to The Study guide for HLT3701, page 39. Only include the following in your answer: • Theme/Topic (2) • Outcomes (2) • Resources/Materials (3) • Vocabulary (3) • Introduction (linking previous knowledge with new knowledge) (4) • Presentation (6) • Conclusion (4) • Assessment strategies (3) • Extension (3) TOTAL: [100]
