1.3.4
Personal beliefs log

Section 1.1.5.1 has detailed instructions on how to make your beliefs log.

Make notes in your log under these four headings:

  1. What can be learned?
  2. What can and should be taught?
  3. How best to learn an additional language (strategies and techniques)
  4. Individual differences and universal learning processes

For each entry, try to say something about your belief, its origin, any critique you can make (especially in the light of having heard students' and colleagues' opinions on this item) and how this now manifests itself in your teaching.

Re-read the entries you made for 1.1 and 1.2, and add extra notes and observations (with today's date) if something else occurs to you, or you feel that your beliefs have evolved since the entry was made.
