WEEK7: Learner Autonomy and One computer classroom

Learner autonomy

This week we have read articles about learner autonomy. A rather simplistic view about learner autonomy is to enable the students to take in charge of their own learning. This involves raising awareness about their learning styles and strategies as Dimitirous menntions in his article what is learner Autonomy and how can it be fostered?

Keeping these ideas in mind, I would try in my class, this approach in my class.
Informative mini project ( inform us about ______________)



On a given language teaching point, I would ask them which skills they would like to work on.

Pair up the students by productive skills to receptive skills

reading speaking

reading writing
listening speaking
listening writing
listening reading

2. After that I give guidelines or tips to perform the task (depending their levels of mastery)
3. I let them produce their final task. (perform or post)
4. Once their produce I can team the students to review the work by providing a template( find 2 positive aspects)

5. Peer teaching: This time, the students will help their peers turn their final product into another skills area where they must have a problem.

This can be conceptualized by using some of the tools we have explored in this webskills class like (powerpoint presentation and or webquest tool)


 NB: Other peer review considerations are possible.

Please make comments and suggestions.
