STUDY PTLLS CASE STUDY - UNIT 5 ANSWER 1 : If I would have to teach a group of where I know fifty percent of the group personally myself ( organisation ) , then I feel the challenge is not to focus more on those who I know , but on the whole group . The challenge is further to get both parties working together and not isolating themselves , even they are initially keen to work together . For the representatives from the college especially it means I would have to integrate them even more into the lesson procedure , so they do not feel they are single individuals in a new learning environment . Creating the 3 lessons by asking the learners to work together in groups arranged randomly would solve this problem . ANSWER 2 : Obviously the representatives are working during the week and they may have experienced different kinds of stress during the day , that will make it more difficult to concentrate on the subject later in the evening . Further the location of where the lesson is to be held could be an advantage or disadvantage concerning the journey to the sessions for the participants . That means the representatives from the community organisation will clearly travel once more than those of working at the college . That this doesn’t affect the lessons and produces an issue , the learning environment should be as positive as possible . ANSWER 3 : I think asking a simple question would be a good idea : Please tell me your names and about something nice that has happened to you or in your community in the last few days ! The objective of the course is that the local community will benefit from the outcomes . This question would lead to the actual subject and give everybody an insight of the positive things that have happened to each participant . Important is that it is positive , because the aim is to establish a good learning environment . The other advantage is that the learners will get to know each other by name and a little more and gain confidence . ANSWER 4 : As I know that I haven’t got the ideal teaching facilities in the community center , I must minimise the impact by simply creating the sessions that way , that the resources I require are coinciding with resources I will have access to . It is an advantage that it is the second session , because the learners already know each other and they have been provided with learning material . So I could use session one and three by delivering a learning process that is based on using more technical equipment etc. . For session in the community center two I would plan for the representatives to work together in groups . That way the second session would be for me as a teacher to assist the learning process more or less with the facilities which I have access to . A further advantage would be that the learners would collaborate more and learn from each other .
