Teaching and Learning Capstone Portfolio

Abstract

The capstone project briefly introduced my teaching philosophy, which shaped by the knowledge I learned and the experiences I gained from Peabody College, Vanderbilt, in the past two years. The whole paper is divided into three main sections, including my teaching philosophy, artifact analysis, and final reflection. In my teaching philosophy, I describe my target students and the challenges they are currently facing. Then, I explained the reason why I believe that communicative language teaching, culturally responsive caring, and scaffolding are the fundamental frameworks for my future teaching. Next, I discuss how the artifact I developed during the past two years demonstrate my strengths and weaknesses as a qualified language teacher, Finally, In the reflection section, the anticipated challenges and potential solutions are explored. Furthermore, how will I further develop myself is also carefully considered in the last section.
