Study unit 3: music play in the foundation phase

what possibly made some learners uncomfortable during these activities?

Song choice, which was in Zulu, other learners were struggling with pronouncing and understanding it and the other one was religious/cultural barrier

Why were some learners uncomfortable?

Other learners were struggling to understand the language of the song while the other one found it challenging to dance in front of boys as it is not allowed in her culture.

Can you think of ways to address these issues in the future? What will you change? 

Provide the necessary understanding of activities and translate songs to make sure that other learners get to understand what is being said and do background research on learners to accommodate their different home languages, cultural backgrounds, and religious beliefs.

How can we accommodate diverse learner profiles in our classrooms? What must we be aware of?

Highlight the diversity of your classroom to the learners, get to know your learners, and build relationships with them, removing distractions (seating, use of desk clocks). Providing cueing. Allowing classroom movement. Providing regular contact with parents. Providing visual, auditory, and written reminders of assignments, procedures, and tasks.
