| dc.description.abstract | In this ELL Portfolio, I demonstrate my expertise and knowledge gained from learning in this
program, sustaining my theoretical understanding and application to practice for working with English Language Learners. Through the reflection upon educational literatures, the coursework and experience working with students, I build on my professionalism and commitment in teaching and learning.
This portfolio contains three sections: (1) my philosophy of teaching (2) professional knowledge
of the TESOL domains supported by artifacts of my coursework and (3) my reflection on application to practice, including implications of the collection of work and vision of my future
development. In the first part, I discuss the conceptual framework and educational literatures that
most influence me as a teacher in working with future English language learners. In second part,
I provide artifacts of my work demonstrating my professional knowledge in the following
domains: planning, instructing, assessing, identity and context, learning, content, commitment
and professionalism. I explain my interpretation of these domains and discuss how the artifacts I provide relate to the specific domain in terms of four aspects: (1) learners and learning, (2) the
learning environment, (3) curriculum and (4) assessment. In the final part, I discuss the ways in
which I bridge between theories and practice in my future class, including opportunities and
challenges as well as the possible solutions. Also, I point out the directions in which I will keep
developing professional knowledge in future practice. | en_US |
