Leanza’s reflection:
After completing the task, I realized that the
materials adaptation has included different techniques. We, as the teachers who
wish to apply the teaching and learning materials efficiently can reorder,
combine, add, reduce omit or simplify the materials for the students. Those
techniques are applied to the teaching materials by teachers and educators in
order to have the students understand about what is being learnt and reach the
learning objective of that particular lesson according to the syllabus. Before
entering the class, the teachers have to be well prepared with the materials
and although it is not applicable, teachers can readjust or repeat the
techniques so the materials can help students to achieve learning objectives.
According to
the lecture task given, I have a rough idea about the materials adaptation that
it actually consists of levels. What we find out confusing is the first level
and the second level of the materials adaptation. This is because we think that
the both first and second level adaptations are similar based on the
explanation given from the slides. After having the discussion, our group made
a conclusion that the first level of adaptation is related to the selection of
textbook whereas the second level of adaptation is related to the selection and
modification of activities.
Last but not least, the last part of the lecture task
actually helped us to apply it to the students and we will try to imagine what
technique we will include in modifying our activity and materials in order to
help the students to boost up in their certain skills. This helped us to know
what technique we will integrate in materials adaptation and materials
developing and hence, produce students with better proficiency levels of
English in the future.
