 |
|
I'm currently at a summer camp, and also still need to write a module 3 for DELTA to get it all finished off.
I was thinking that whilst I'm here and have some time on my hands, I could kill 2 birds with 1 stone by writing up DELTA3 on teaching kids at summer camp.
Does anybody have any idea which specialism it may fall under? I'll be teaching the language behind how to participate in sports, design things, do projects, make smalltalk etc.
I've narrowed it down to the following 3:
YLs (because they're all 8-13)
CLIL (i'm teaching them how to do something, through English)
Teaching in an English Speaking Environment (they're immersed in English through the summer camp experience)
I guess it'd be a matter of picking one of the above, and choosing to focus on issues from that area. Where do you think I'd have the biggest scope to write something beefy on? |

YLs. The other two apply more often to other types of learners. And
there is a dearth of literature on YLs, so you might be able to add something new. |

The following quote, which I believe might be useful for you, is from the Cambridge handbook.
| Quote: |
"Candidates may choose to narrow down the selected specialism in order to research a specific aspect in appropriate depth, e.g. ‘ESP’ may be narrowed down to Teaching communication skills to doctors working in a general hospital; Teaching young learners can be narrowed down to Designing course programmes for 11–12 year old learners in Hong Kong; Teaching monolingual learners can be linked to a specific context, e.g. Teaching monolingual learners in Saudi Arabia; Teaching FCE may be the focus of the specialism or may be narrowed down to Preparing learners for FCE listening skills tests. However, candidates should not narrow the focus to a discrete sub-skill such as reading for gist or a discrete area of grammar such as teaching future tenses."

So you may very well declare your specialism to be "teaching YLs at a summer camp in the UK". |
