These are the "moves," actions and behaviors, that would facilitate language teaching and learning with most classes in most circumstances most of the time. It is a focused on teaching language in context and cotext, providing comprehensible input for the learner. It covers principle and beliefs to assessment using a standard "engagement" to "application" model. There is a special section on Culture. There is a sub theme in the book devoted to learner centered language development. In other words, as Diane Larsen-Freeman and others have said, ..".we know that students do not learn because we teach, but we must act as as if they do." Donal Freeman has put this succinctly as, "we influence their learning." Hopefully, these practices will assist you in having a positive influence upon your student's learning. |
