Profiles
Speak to your MST and explain that you need to do a case study of the errors of
three typical students in the class.

2

Explain that you need to collect written and spoken examples of the English produced
by each of the four students.
Ask the MST to suggest the names of the students; Also find out: the age of the student;
what their grades have been in English this year (if possible); whatever information you
can find out about the students personality and how they feel about learning English;
whatever information you can find out about the students previous learning; whatever
information you can find out about the languages spoken in the students home.
COLLECTING WRITTEN DATA: Ask to see baselines / student portfolios / student
work that students have produced RECENTLY. Try to get permission to make copies of
these items. Try to get examples of work from the three that was done ON THE SAME
DAY, or IN THE SAME WEEK.
COLLECTING SPOKEN DATA: When you start your practicum, you will meet the
students. Then you will be able to collect this part of the data.

Please complete the table with information from your MST during week 9 of your
teaching practicum
