Adaptation as Critical Awareness Development

 Learners have the opportunity of sharing the

ownership of the classroom and of the materials used
in the classroom.
 Learners participate in the adaptation process and also
provide classroom input
 Facilitates learner involvement and, eventually,
empowers learners to develop their critical thinking
In your school or institution, examine range of technology-based materials and tools available to classroom language teachers.

The range of technology-based materials in our school is in average range, I think, because the school has enough technology materials but
not too much. The tools available to classroom language teachers are smartphones, laptops, and projectors.

 I find a great deal of information in this chapter. When it comes to the issue of materials improvement, it is certain that English language
teaching resources, particularly for teachers, are critical. As a future English teacher, I felt the need to understand the essence of language learning
material in order to be a successful instructor. For example, in this chapter, I learnt about the many points of view in the materials adaption
process. Teacher-centered, learner-centered, and adaptability as critical awareness growth are the three perspectives. It discusses how diverse ways
to educating kids may be found in the classroom. Teachers will impart knowledge to the students, but the learner's role is still restricted and not
fully learner-centered. Teachers may enhance learning growth by encouraging students to develop critical thinking skills. On the other hand, I gain
insight into potential future advancements and adjustments. Furthermore, the learner-centeredness and critical awareness development, flexibility
and choice, open-endedness and aesthetic experience, relevance and universality are all essential aspects in materials adaptation. In this chapter,
technology has also played a significant role in helping language teachers change their teaching methods. It evolved into a resource for
implementing online learning, digital learning, and mobile learning. Aside from that, I'm thinking about how technology might aid in today's
uncertain times. It became easier and more advanced thanks to technological advancements. It not only benefits society, but it also benefits the
institution itself. Finally, after completing this module, I have a lot of ideas that I will put into practice as well as continue my academic and
professional growth.
As a result, in terms of discussion and practice sharing, this program has been quite engaging. I am certain that all the guidelines and
learning that I learned in this subject, correlate to my profession to be, will help me and that I bring it to my teaching journey.
