FOL Example

Hi everyone!

Here is a non-perfect but still passable example of the FOL assignment

The most important part of this assignment is to provide sufficient background information about your learner to create a profile of him or her and to use this information to select materials to help him or her with their language weaknesses. The common reasons why people have to resubmit this assignment are:

1) The background information doesn't cover all three areas of

- background

- motivation

- learning preferences / styles

2) The areas of weakness are too general (e.g. "she struggles with tenses". This is not nearly specific enough. You would need to specify a specific tense or structure with which she has difficulty)

3) The areas of weakness don't have enough examples, or the examples are not evidence of a problem with the same language point / pronunciation area.

4) The activities chosen don't match the problem

5) The activities are not justified in terms of the learners' needs, learning preferences or background.

Remember, you can show your tutor the errors that you have chosen to focus on before you submit the assignment. These should be specific. Please understand that if you present too many options, we won't be able to help you as this needs to be your own work. 

Good luck!
