Hello there,
This week (7th) we talked about a topic that I value greatly: learner autonomy. Learning how to learn, what to learn, when to learn, and whom or where to learn from is an important skill in today's world. In today's world, there is information abundance, and unfortunately not all information is reliable information. So, it becomes even more important to guide learners to safe environments and eventually teach them how they can themselves find secure environments where they can access reliable information. In language learning in particular freedom from teacher dependence is a must because even the perfect teacher cannot teach everything about a language so learners will have to walk without holding a teacher's hand and start running all by themselves.
I totally agree with you Abdullah on the guidance we should give oru students for safety surfing on the net.
ReplyDeleteIn my blog I said: "Teachers are just facilitators in the process of learning" and it goes quite similar to what you say here in your blog.
Kind regards
Dalton
