Hints
- Learners at this level are often more worried about spelling and writing. However to improve your writing you need to read lots of the types of texts you want to write. It is important to teach the explicit features of the text.
- Set up email exchange with your learner as a way of improving personal writing and spelling. Encourage the use of spell check on the computer.
- Teach spelling through your learner’s writing. Make a note of the types of errors then teach spelling strategies, word patterns and rules related to their needs.
- Get your learner to use the words they want to use in their writing and not worry about spelling. Learners at this level often only write with simple words because these are the words they know how to spell.
- If you can’t make a session together set up a Skype or Facetime session.
- Learning how to learn is an important part of working with our learners. Teach note taking, how to organise material etc.
