E- portfolio
by Ransika Gamage


Hello! I'm Ransika Gamage 🙋‍♀️

This portfolio is based on my 40-hour online teaching practicum, held from December 7th to January 3rd. As an undergraduate in the Department of English Language Teaching at the University of Kelaniya, pursuing a Special Degree in TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language), I had to complete my training session online due to the prevailing pandemic situation in the country. This e-portfolio will provide you with a clear understanding of my online teaching practicum.

This blog consists of a philosophical statement about teaching, a reflective summary of 40 hours of teaching sessions, two observation write-ups, testimonials, and twenty lesson plans with materials and feedback received from the students. 

Say Hello to my Kids! 👦👧👋

  Beginners' General English Program : A Journey of Growth and Guidance Teaching adult students in a Beginners' General English Program has been one of the most rewarding and enlightening experiences of my career. Despite their maturity and life experiences, adult learners often find themselves navigating the complexities of learning a new language with the same apprehension and need for guidance as young students. Understanding the Unique Needs of Adult Learners One of the first lessons I learned is that adult students come with a wealth of backgrounds, life experiences professional skills and motivation. Some are learning English to enhance their career prospects and for their overseas journey, while others are driven by a desire to connect more deeply with their communities or to help their children with their studies. My students include software engineers, teachers, accountants, graduate students and technical officers.
