Education for Democracy: Supporting Language Learners‘ Autonomy
Katja Heim
Kommentar
What does it imply if we say that we want to support learners’ autonomy? A frequent association is a scene in which every learner works individually, without any help, any bonds and any obligations. That is not what is meant here. Supporting language learners’ autonomy is an aim formulated in the central European document on language learning, the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The concept of autonomy used here is not individualistic but considers learners as members of communities. The aim is thus to develop not only responsibility for learning at an individual level but also responsibility within groups of learners. This aims to enable learners to uphold a democratic Europe, in which citizens interact internationally and engage in peaceful discourse.
In this course, we will look at strategies for developing language learner autonomy within school-based English lessons and will consider important issues, such as the balance between structure and freedom, types of interactions in class, target language use, assessment, and inclusion.
Throughout the course, we will connect theory and practice, will analyse lesson sequences, and will develop small-scale action research projects in preparation for your term papers.
Parts of this course will be taught online. Dates for on-site and online sessions will be announced in class. The first two sessions will be on-site.
