1. It feels really positive and empowering when we get to emphasise on our strengths. As a SENO, I would like to incorporate discovering the strengths of my students when getting to know them. Their strengths can be utilised to motivate them in their learning and when they feel discouraged.

2. From today’s lecture, I have learnt that there are different components to the language and students may struggle with one component or a variety of components of language. The breakdown of the components were helpful in identifying the kinds of issues the student has with language and the different kinds of intervention or strategies that can be utilised with each difficulty. For instance, the colourful semantic strategy can be used for students with syntactic deficits.

During the lecture, I'm learning about the components of language - Form, Content and Use; and what those components are.

I'm also learning that difficulties in language can reside in the input process, processing as well as the output. And there are strategies to help in each of the areas. For instance, the Frayer Model is a good way to help the student gain a deeper understanding in learning a particular word.

I'm also learning the various components of reading - WR x LC = RC; and how any deficit in RC or LC will affect the reading comprehension. And one important thing to prepare young children to read is to widen their vocab.

During the tutorial, it was great to know more about my group mates. The sharing of the various groups in illustrating the teaching of Form, Content and Use, helps me to further understand what had been taught during the lecture.

Today, I learnt about the different strategies and activities that we can use to support a child's different struggles. A child who is unable to read is not just because do not have the vocabulary, it could be difficulty retrieving the word, do not know the sound, etc. The strategies we do need to be targeted at their specific struggles.

It was great to know more about my classmates as well as their teaching philosophy! Also, learning about the different components of language as well as the guiding models in creating an interesting and informative session for the students. In particular, the Four-Part Processor Model of Word Recognition which is a simplified model that illustrates how the brain reads or recognizes words. This model allowed me to better understand how our brain processes words, which in turn will help me to better understand and identify the component that the student is struggling with.

I have learnt that language consists of three components - Content, Form and Use, as well as some strategies that i could possibly apply in guiding my students in their learnings.

It is very helpful to see how some of these strategies could practically be applied during the short teaching sessions within the tutorial (e.g. use of Fayer's Model to teach matter).

It was great getting to know my classmates better and to hear how their life experiences shape their teaching and learning principles.

Today I've learnt a lot about Language and how it has three main components, Content Form and Use. Growing up language has always been my worst subject and it is interesting to know that there are many factors that plays a part of it and the most important take away for me was to learn that there are many available strategies (like the Frayer Model to gain a wider range of vocabulary) that can be used to strengthen those components. It gives me a more in-depth knowledge on how I can further help the students that face literacy difficulties.

On a side note, it was really good to know more about my classmates in depth like their strengths and interests etc. !

In today's session, I've learnt about the different components in language and strategies to support and teach each component.

The group sharing on the different teaching strategies was interesting and informative.

Within my group, I've learnt how pragmatics is taught in different scenarios. It was a good refresher on certain models. The "I do, you do, we do" model which I've not seen being used during my school stint, would have actually been very beneficial!

I have learnt:

1) language intervention requires all 4 components for it to be successful (listening, speaking, reading and writing). Before diagnosis, we always check if the child has adequate opportunities to learn the language/ learn to read.

2) the components of language: Content, Form and Use and the different strategies that we can use to teach these different components. For example, categorising or the odd one out game to learn content.

3) we can use the Frayer's Model to teach which includes teaching (a) definition, (b) facts and characteristics, (c) examples and (d) non-examples. I thought using non-examples was a fun way to teach!

Better understanding of my classmates strengths. Frayer's module and visuals to help students to better understand better when teaching English and other subjects too.

• role play as a strategy
• use examples n non-examples to teach new vocab, utilising relatable n familiar eg
• 4 diff type of processor

1. First and foremost, I have learnt quite a bit about my group mates! I enjoyed listening to what their interests were and what they feel are their strengths. In the future, I will ask my students such questions so that they will be empowered and know their worth!

2. It was interesting to watch Group 1's presentation on the word, "absurd". They chose great pictures to use in their lesson plan and it taught me the importance of using visuals when teaching in the future.

Today I learnt about the three components of language - form, content and use. I never knew that languages had these components. Furthermore, the various methods (e.g., syntax colourful semantics and Frayer Model) truly helps to better teach and guide the child's learning. These are some methods that I would apply in the future lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
I’ve learnt how frayer’s model can help simply the explanation of even subjects like science to students in a structured and organised manner.

The 1st session has been enlightening. Everything that was taught has been very informative. In particular, the different components of language has really broken down how I can an intervention lesson depending on the needs of the student.

This first session is such an eye-opener. I learnt so much much more about my friends! With the focus on interactive activities and tasks, we learn how to spontaneously teach or create something. Just like with our students, the need to be spontaneous to clarify or educate them with a skill is important. Content is important, but how the students retrieve these information given to them is crucial.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the key takeaway I have for todays session would be how the different components of language all play important roles in shaping how an individual even begins to read. Drawing upon this knowledge learnt and applying it to practice would be to dissect the components of language that our students have difficulty in and applying appropriate strategies to build them up and empower them to read

From Session 1, I have learnt the components of language (content, form and use) and the strategies to support each aspect.

I also found the Four-part Processor Model of Word Recognition very interesting. It clearly shows the various factors of word recognition and helps me better able identify which aspect a student might be lacking in, and hence better support him or her.

I have learned a great deal from this first tutorial. I learned about how the Frayer's Model to teach vocabulary. It can also be used to explain Mathematic and Scientific terms.

I have also learned about the strengths of my tutorial mates. Finally for certain behavioral difficulties, it's important to come up with a long term plan to help the children with their needs.
