Week 7 – Focus on the leaner autonomy

            One more week and lots of learning! The readings about learners’ autonomy were really useful. The teaching experience that Samuel P-H Sheu presented in his article called “Learner Autonomy: Bird-in-the-hand or Bird-in-the-bush?”, proved that it’s possible to make a way even when we face hard obstacles like the teaching system that he mentioned. Thanasoulas in his article “What is Learner Autonomy and How Can It Be Fostered”, many ideas to motivate and create an autonomy environment to our students. And as my colleague Basu, I could learn the several ideas that involves the meaning of autonomy and how these different meanings influence the way that we are going to develop it in our students or not.

            The list of suggestions to use only one computer in the classroom presented in the other two readings was really practical and objective. Both were answers to our anguish when we have an important tool in our hands but many students to share. I really like the readings.

            But that’s not all! We also had a very good experience using the Wallwisher. After reading some of my colleagues’ ideas how to use it, now I want to implement it in my classes.

            Well and to finish with the golden key, I just want to say that I already have my project partner, I mean, partners because I have two: Livia and Lila.

We are going to share our idea to develop our students’ skills on listening and speaking using the web resources.

           

 

            I’m really excited to move to the next week. It’s just getting better and I want much more.

                         See you there!
