The semester is almost over!

Time to review what we know ...

Teacher like to be 'practical' ...
We often want 'recipes'
But as any good chef knows, if you don't understand the basic concepts of cooking, no recipe is going to work!

As much as we hate them, we need some theoretical background knowledge.

We all talk about CLT & socioconstructivism ....

But we also need to understand how we got here (e.g. audiolingual, silent period ...)

Turn off your cameras ... review the materials you have (our moodle, your notes, our webpage, chapters read ...)

In 4 minutes, return with a list of language learning theories & key words about them  ...

Ready, steady ... go!
List the theories & key words here!

We all pretty much agree ...

We are in a CLT (or some might say post-CLT) era.

But what does that mean?

First ...  how have these previous language learning theories had an impact or led us to where we are now?

Choose a theory and explain its impact on LANGUAGE TEACHING. For instance, audiolingual brought in the idea of using language for a purpose (even if it was a bit decontextualized).

Communicative
Language Teaching

OK ... we understand the need to communicate ... BUT ...

What does this have to do with ... project based language learning .... or technology-enhanced project based language learning ...

To answer these questions ...

Now we're going to work in groups

Break out room instructions

4 groups

Choose a secretary to take notes to share with everyone after the class.

1

Discuss: What are the main links between CLT and TEPBLL? What are the main differences between CLT & TEPBLL?

2

Each group has been assigned one key topic. Discuss and summarize how this topic is related to TEPBLL. Group assignments in the red hotspot.

3

Hopefully you realize now that you know quite a bit about TEPBLL. But there's always more to learn!

Discuss the scenario (blue button) and decide on 1 burning question.

Groups

Group 1: Communicative competence: reception
Group 2: Communicative competence: production
Group 3: Mediation & intercultural competence
Group 4: Communicative competence & the future: VWs, TILL, telecollaboration, etc.

Imagine that tomorrow you are offered a teaching job with one condition: you must design and implement a TEPBLL. What would be the question that you feel you must ask an expert?

Ready, steady ... go!
How are CLT & TEPBLL related?

Great Answers!
Now, how are
CLT & TEPBLL different?

TEPBLL: HOW?

Group 1: Communicative competence: reception

Group 2: Communicative competence: production

Group 3: Mediation & intercultural competence

Group 4: Communicative competence & the future: VWs, TILL, telecollaboration, etc.

We will record!
