It’s the 18th of October and I am still without a placement. During the summer I did some volunteering but didn’t consider those to be places for my placement experience. I also thought (naively) that the university would have sorted it all out, without me looking for a setting. Turns out that they don’t have primary schools on their placement list, so in the end, here I am trying to find my own placement. I should have remembered how hard it is to find an educational setting available to help students, as last year it wasn’t easy to find a nursery where to carry out observations. Nevertheless, this particular search for a placement is putting me through a great deal of stress; it is not the search in itself, if not that it’s the wrong moment for me. I have chosen my modules unwisely through the academic year and I find myself committed to a Monday to Friday timetable. I am a bit discouraged by the so many schools that rejected my request, international schools in which I was interested in for my curiosity about bilingualism and multilingualism. I am now in touch with a mainstream primary school in South West London, which seems to have responded quite positively. I am still waiting confirmation, and I hope it will get through. This school has a language unit and EAL sessions, which I find extremely interesting. I hope that during my time there I will be able to attend some of those sessions. I am really looking forward to starting this placement, as I will finally have an insight of the English Educational System in person. I don’t know what to expect from this experience, but I surely hope that I will have a better grasp on the approaches used in this country for early learners, above all in a multicultural city such as London. I want this placement to support me in having a first-hand experience that can help me in shaping my future and not only. I hope to be of help in the school I will be, and I hope they will teach me new things that I wouldn’t have learnt otherwise. I am not a person of great expectations, and I will try to make the best out of it to ensure that I will have learnt and grown.
