Statement of Originality

This assignment is completely original and is all my own work. I used Microsoft Word 2021 to

complete this assignment and used Grammarly to check my spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Disclosure of Prior Existing Materials

For this Summative Assessment task, I made use of Description of Learners I developed in my

other courses and three lesson plans I prepared for my Formative Lesson Plan task in Spring

Practicum. Also, I updated my Teaching Philosophy Statement I developed in SLA course by

making necessary changes. For Scaffolding, Differentiation, Reflection, Extension Project parts,

I used course reading and included citations from them to justify my opinions. Specifically, for

Extension Project, I made use of an article by Nargiza et al. (2023).

Teaching Philosophy Statement

I believe that as a teacher, my job is to crave a big purpose and take action to make a change

in society for the betterment. For this, I intend to inspire my students to reach their full potential

or even to stretch the limits of possibilities to make their dreams come true by equipping them with

necessary skills and tools in their language learning journeys.

As of my teaching context, I am working at a private language learning center, IELTS Band

7, where my philosophy of teaching is to give motivation and inspire them to learn languages and

thrive in their lives. I am teaching nearly all levels there - from level A1 to level C1. My biggest

purpose is to get students to another level in their language learning journeys, speaking fluently

without any fear and discomfort, ultimately expressing their opinions to the world openly. To do

this, I teach my students with the latest and effective methods which help them work actively with

materials, thinking creatively, and applying the knowledge they are gaining into real-life situations.

Although the learners there come from different backgrounds with various learning styles, I try to

do my best to use a mix of visuals, hand-out activities and cutting-edge technologies to teach them

so that they will be intelligent enough to solve problems they may encounter in some stages of

their life.

Language learning is not an easy work. But, I trust that learning languages is most effective

when both students and I engage in that emotionally, adding motivation and investment so that it

turns to acquiring a language rather than learning it, which is a natural way of gaining the language

knowledge. With this, they can feel not only the importance, but also the enjoyment of learning a

language.

On top of that, my priority is to aid my students to become a type of a person who can

make a positive transformation either in their own life or in other people’s life as well. In the

changing world, obviously, competition is high, and the development of the country largely

depends on the contribution of the intellectual people. To reach that state and position, I always

motivate them to love the learning.

 4

I believe education is very important for building a better future. I want to help my students

become curious, think carefully, and work well with others. My goal is to help them grow into

kind and thoughtful members of their communities. Teaching is not just a job for me. It is

something I love. I always work hard, use creative ideas, and try to improve every day.

Description of Target Learners

I have 10 students in my class at IELTS BAND 7 learning center. There are 6 girls

and 4 boys. All of them are 17 years old and study in Grade 11. Their English level is

B2 according to CEFR. So they can understand and speak English quite well. The name

of the course is “English for Everyone.” It is for two and a half months. The goal of

this course is to make their English better. (Table 1)

My students come from different families. Some of them speak Russian at home.

Some of them speak Uzbek. At school, they mostly learned grammar. They were used

to old style of learning where teacher teach grammar rules. But they didn’t do much

reading and writing like in universities. So now they need to learn more skills together.

Now they really want to learn English. They try hard to improve. They like reading

real stuff like journals, magazines, or books about inventions, environment, or sport

news. They also like to write about their life and things that happen to them. But for

future study, they must do more academic reading and writing. That means they should
 7

learn how to understand texts, write essays, and give clear ideas.

We use only English in my class. From the first day, they speak only in English.

At first, it was hard for them to follow everything. Some students felt it difficult. But

now they are okay. They speak more in English and their speaking is better now.

The course want to move their level from B2 to C1 in 2.5 months. We focus on

each skill, especially writing and reading. They learn how to read hard texts and use

skimming and scanning. Also they try to write better with clear structure and good

linking words.

We use CEFR to check their level. Now they are B2. This means they can

understand main ideas in hard texts and write about different topics. By the end, they

will reach C1. Then they can understand long and difficult texts, find hidden meaning,

and write well-organized text on difficult topics.

So, my class has 10 good students. They are trying to reach C1 in English. The

“English for Everyone” course helps them to do academic reading and writing. They

still have some problems, but they are motivated. I help them, and they are moving in

the right way.

Scaffolding and Differentiation

In order to assist all students to engage and understand the lesson, I can

differentiate and provide support for the three main activities in several ways. These

activities include: using vocabulary and speaking about social media, reading a text and

answering questions for social media, and writing a “for and against” essay on social

media.

In the first activity, students are learning new vocabulary for social media and

having a conversation about social media. I could support this by providing a handout

with a picture and meaning from dictionary and an emoji to assist with understanding.

I could also provide students a sentence starter such as, "I think social media is good

because..." for those who find it challenging to speak. Students who are more proficient

could use more complex words or compare two different apps.

For the second activity, again, reading a text and answering questions, I can

support this by providing pre-reading tasks. Some of the different activities are looking

at pictures or titles to guess the topic, and matching words with meanings before reading.

While reading I can put students in pairs or small groups, so that stronger readers can

assist other students. I could also create questions at different levels of difficulty and

color code them (easier or harder). After the reading I can help students discuss the text

either by providing sentence frames or asking them to highlight their answers in the

reading.

When it comes to the last activity- writing an essay- we can provide students

with an essay planner with ideas for each paragraph; I can also provide a model essay

for them to follow to produce a good piece of writing. For students who do not have a

lot of confidence as writers, sentence frames and lists of linking words will help
 32

scaffold their writing. I can ask students to work collaboratively, or seek assistance from

the teacher to develop their writing. By making the above changes, it allows all students,

regardless of their specific level of proficiency and learning style, to talk and write about

a current topic (social media) with increased success.

 33

Reflection

For the lesson at my practicum site at IELTS Band 7, I have developed three lesson

plans on topic of social media for my students. It is for the students who are preparing for

IELTS exams in hope of getting C1 (band 7.0, 7.5) in the upcoming months. In this

reflection, I will highlight the reasons for the selection of the instructional materials in

those lesson plans and references to theories in other course readings.

First, the reason why I have chosen the topic of “Social Media and Technology”

is that this topic is widely discussed in all modules (reading, writing, listening, speaking)

of IELTS. This means students should have the knowledge about this topic to provide

their answers for the question in the exam. Plus, this topic is very interesting for the

learners. They are motivated by the real world topics, which I mentioned in my Learner

Profile. Social media topic allows students to learn through both authentic and academic

materials. By this way, I believe I applied Hedgcock’s (2008) socioliterate approach by

combining students’ real life interests with their academic needs. In all three lesson,

materials help students build on each other. For example, in lesson 1, students learn

vocabulary and use them in their speech to activate. In lesson 2, they have the chance to

dive deeper into the topic with the aid of an academic reading task. With it, they can extend

their current knowledge and prepare ideas for their exams. In the last lesson - writing, they

should show what they have learned by writing an academic essay on social media topic.

This proves how much they know about the theme after the first and the second lessons,

which have served as ZPD (Zone of Proximal Development) to bridge the gap between

what my students can do and cannot do on the topic of “Social Media and Technology”

(Vygotsky, 1978).

As for the materials used in three lessons, they all help cater to the needs of

students. First speaking exercise, matching vocabulary-definition, introduce students to

the words that are used in the context of Social Media and Technology. By activating
 34

them, they would be able to use them in their exams, therefore having a good chance to

get a higher score in the vocabulary section of speaking or writing. This task is better not

to be differentiated as all the words are simple enough for all levels and ubiquitous in an

era of technology. Following that, speaking activities (Activity 3 and 4) aid to use them

in the real context. In the next activities, students engage in peer and group-works to help

each other learn what they don’t know, which I previously mentioned as ZPD approach.

In the writing activity materials, applying Gibbon’s (2002) scaffolding technique I

scaffolded my instruction by integrating sentence framing and linking words rather than

writing a complete essay for them on the topic. They better off showing their own samples

with implementing what they have learned, I believe.

My instructional decisions for all the materials and the way I teach them are all

shaped by the knowledge I gained in TESOL program at Webster University. For these

three lesson plans, I did my best to implement them to build a strong connection with my

students. As Waller et al. (2018) said “ Lesson planing is a dialogic process between the

teacher, the learners, and the evolving classroom context”. Considering this, I made sure

that lesson planning is imperative before a lesson. Then, as a teacher, I can build strong

connections with my students because I beforehand measure what they need, what might

be interesting for them to learn about the topic, and what they will be capable of after the

lesson.

In conclusion, I believe for all three lesson, the materials I prepared using my

subject knowledge would help my students with what they need. The application of

theories by experts has assisted me to create my teacher identity and my philosophy of

teaching English Language. On this way, I will not stop craving knowledge to shape and

sharpen this identity to bring students language proficiency high.

 35

Extension Project

For the extension project, I have selected the article “The Problems Faced by

Teachers in Teaching English as a Foreign Language in Uzbekistan” by Nazirova et al.

(2023). It was publish in an international and peer-reviewed journal named “Journal of

Law and Sustainable Development”. This article highlights the issues in teaching English

in Uzbekistan, especially in post-Soviet education policies and proposes potential

solutions. These matter are discussed in the upcoming paragraphs.

Education of English in Uzbekistan after The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 got

stuck between traditional way of teaching and modern methodology needs. The clear

reasons for this were the lack of teaching resources, the absence of professional English

language teachers, and outdated instructional approaches. I myself ,as an English teacher

in Uzbekistan now, I selected this article to be aware and make English community aware

of these barriers in teaching English and come up with solutions to them.

The article reveals some prevalent problems English language teachers facing in

our national context, one of which is the shortage of updated teaching materials such as

textbooks, visual presentations, and over-reliance on traditional way of teaching. These

problems limits the teachers from delivering an engaging English classes and effective

language instruction. Plus, teacher have also problems with their language proficiency,

especially with pronunciation and speaking, which hinder them be a model for students.

This issue directly affects communicative competence of language learners badly. In post-

Soviet era, grammar-translation method was dominant in which students focus was on

reading texts and translating them rather than increasing communicative language

teaching (CLT). Still, in some schools in Uzbekistan, teachers heavily rely on this

grammar-translation focusing on memorization of vocabulary separating them from its

context instead of fostering communication. Another acute problems in educational

institutes was overcrowded classrooms, which make it difficult for teacher to manage the
 36

whole class and give individual attention to students. These kind of conditions restrict the

chance to give special feedback on performances and classroom interaction, which are

important for language learning.

This article serves as a valuable source for teachers because it connects multiple

theories into language teaching. Firstly, authors put importance on Vygotski’s (1978)

Sociocultural Theory, which give special attention to the role of social interaction and

cultural context in language teaching. Because those considerations were missing in

Uzbekistan’s education philosophy. In Uzbekistan, where Russian is dominating over

other languages, teachers come across hardships in promoting English atmosphere. These

all factors reduce the opportunity to teach English effectively.

To combat these problems, this article suggests several practical solutions. First,

professional teacher trainings are seen as number one wayout as without high level

language proficency and modern and effective methodologies, it is almost impossible to

educate students to modern language learning. Teacher training sessions, peer-learning,

and online courses by international experts could help with this issue as suggested in the

article. Second, the implementing state-of-of-the-art technologies such as speaking

platforms, focus on integrated skills in teaching are possibly helpful by replacing boring

classroom instructions and relatively less effective grammar-translation method. Third,

teachers are also encouraged to use modern and quite effective methods such as

Communicative Language Teaching, Task-Based Language teaching, and Post-Era

methods to promote interactive communication among language learners. Considering

activities like pair-work, project-based learning, group discussions, and debates help build

constructive lessons rather than instructive ones where teacher is authoritative during the

class. Last but not least, including Uzbek culture content into English lessons would make

language learning relevant to our nation.

 37

In conclusion, from this article, I have deepened my understanding of problems

teachers face and possible solutions for them.
