Adding Value Within Learners’ Journeys
What informs our language/study programme approaches?
![Page 9: Adding Value Within Learners’ Journeys - English UK€¦ · Adding Value Within Learners’ Journeys Mick’s part: Incorporate: Strategic, ... Global life/employability skills](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042304/5ecf55d20f48dd0ece1ae8dd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The humanistic classroomFocuses on the individual; on her or his personal development and her
or his personal ideation
The principle goal in education ….should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things…..who
are creative, inventive and discoverers, who can be critical and verify, and not accept everything they are offered.

Facts get in the way of
understanding
The XXIst Century changes
everything
Teaching knowledge is
indoctrination
You can always look it up
Teacher-led instruction is
passive
We should teach skills rather than
knowledge
Projects and activities are the best way to learn

Higher Education Landscape has changed
• Modules at university have descriptors, outcomes and targets
• Students have PDP’s (personal development plans)
• Tutors have defined roles and targets
• Quality is assessed by employability and other, measurable, metrices
• Study skills and learner training are mandatory in year 1
• The use of SMART targets is embedded in teaching & learning strategies

A quick word about metacognition
Metacognition is just thinking about thinking – Flavell, 1977
It is knowledge of:
Personal Variables:Awareness of personal abilities, aptitudes and
behaviours
Task Variables:Awareness of different approaches to tasks and challenges
![Page 15: Adding Value Within Learners’ Journeys - English UK€¦ · Adding Value Within Learners’ Journeys Mick’s part: Incorporate: Strategic, ... Global life/employability skills](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042304/5ecf55d20f48dd0ece1ae8dd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Using metacognition in the study skills classroom• Metacognition is thinking about thinking
• Can we generate thinking skills in the classroom?
• Can we generate thinking skills through study abroad programmes?
![Page 16: Adding Value Within Learners’ Journeys - English UK€¦ · Adding Value Within Learners’ Journeys Mick’s part: Incorporate: Strategic, ... Global life/employability skills](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042304/5ecf55d20f48dd0ece1ae8dd/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Gift Number 1: for the teacher
Make your language classes thinking classes:
• Focus on the tasks: make them cognitive activities
• Focus on the methods, not the results
•Discuss Task Variables before each challenge
•Ask for reflection after each task and consider Personal Variables at this stage.

Young people and globalism: no longer auf der walzThe world is now seen as a dangerous place that we need to protect ourselves, and our kids, from.
And how are kids reacting to this?

Success in the risk society
Traditional society- success was built on (after Hofstede):
Strength of family, community bonds, resilience, communal identity and behaviours.
Ability to defend against change.
Collective resolution.
Today and tomorrow built on:
The individual’s personal resources and self agency

Confucius
Do not look at what is contrary to propriety;
do not listen to what is contrary to propriety;
do not speak what is contrary to propriety;
do not make movement which is contrary to
propriety.
The principle goal in education ….should be
creating men and women who are capable of
doing new things…..who are creative,
inventive and discoverers, who can be critical
and verify and not accept everything they are
offered.
