The Checklist
The checklist is an amazing tool used for keeping
track of tasks and setting goals. This is the image
that comes to mind when thinking about
scaffolding language learning. Many of the great
ways to help learners when learning a new
language need to be in a nice neat checklist. Why?
So that the learner's needs are always kept in
mind and the tools that are in an educators toolbox
can be accessed in a organized manner. The format
of delivering essential methods and concepts in
language learning are perfect for being in checklist
form. For example, the concept of learners needing
to use their new language is a great concept but
needs to have a checklist of strategies that should
be implemented such as picture prompts or jigsaw
reading (Gibbons, 2015). Checklists are also perfect
because they can act at first as a goal but then as a
reminder of what has been done/achieved and
what still needs to be done.
