lola26 Posté(e) 21 août 2006 Posté(e) 21 août 2006 Hello! This is my summary : The article was published by the BBC. The main theme is the teaching assistants' role in classroom in United Kingdom. It is entitled "Teachers helpers role positive". The article refers to a research of the Institute of Education. Firstly, it appears that teaching assistants are often employed at school. The article insists on 2 words to describe their contribution : positive and challenge. Indeed, teachers appreciate the presence of another adult in the classroom and they really bring help to children. It is also a challenge because they have to understand the subjects taught in the classroom and also the methode used by the teacher. However, a debate has arisen concerning the role of teaching assistants. Indeed, according to a study of 2004, while recognizing that the presence of teaching assistants has positive results, the teachers don't seem ready to let them alone in their classes. Furthermore, the institute of education insists on the fact that they need training. Then, it must be considered that they are not alone to help teachers, therefore they have to integrate them to the support staff who already works at school. In conclusion, the article notices that teaching assistants could be a solution against school failure ; nevertheless some problems must be resolved. In my opinion, their presence could be beneficial. For example, the presence of another adult in the classroom give the possibility to work on group. To a certain extent, the teacher can give more attention to pupils who have difficulties when the others work or are supervised by the teaching assistant. Of course, in this situation, the teaching assistant must have competences to help the teacher and not forget that he is not a "real" techer. The case of teaching assistants who help pupils doing their homework is also positive because they can explain what they don't understand in classroom. It is particularly interesting for pupils who have nobody to help them at home. In France, there are "education assistants" ; their role consists in supervising children, taking part of cultural or sportive activities... But it is clearly written in Official text that they don't have the role to "teach" or can't substituate them to the teacher. So we can suppose that "teaching assistants" is the same thing as "pédagogique assistants" in France I have a question : "teaching assistant" is the equivalent of "assistant d'éducation" or "assistant pédagogique"? or it's a job specific to Britain? I try to give my point of view in my summary, but it will be nice if someone could give me precisions. Thank you! Good bye!
lola26 Posté(e) 21 août 2006 Posté(e) 21 août 2006 Another question : Last year, did you make a list of vocabulary for each theme in this post? ; there are so many pages, I don't know if you did that. If you didn't, Maybe we can do a list for a theme and complete it progressively with our research when we are studying a text? :P
