As language teachers, many of us look only within our own discipline for new ideas about how to approach our teaching, despite the fact that there are similar challenges involved in the learning of skills and knowledge in all areas of human endeavor. The changing landscape in medical education has many striking parallels with developments in language education. Recent trends in medical education include an evolving emphasis on outcomes, patient...

.
In recent years, foreign language education has significantly shifted away teacher-centered approaches to more learner-centered ones. Language learning outcomes are no longer seen as simply a product of teachers and teaching; there is a greater awareness of the contributions language learners make to their own learning. However, there are indications that we are now moving away from – beyond – this approach towards a more person-centered account of language...

Strategies for student engagementLearner motivation / creativity Student engagement
No two students are alike in how they may approach learning. Arguably, no two classes are ever the same, even if the same content or course is being taught. Each class has its own unique atmosphere. Similarly, not every student learns or interacts in the same way. The goal of the instructor is to develop and promote a learning environment that encourages active participation from all students. Students learn in diverse ways, which can be further complicated by majors...

Using Critical Language Pedagogy in the EFL Classroom“101” Topics
Since the 1970 English translation of Paolo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed, both it and subsequent texts on critical pedagogy have become ubiquitous in teacher education programs. Many linguists and educators have expanded on this framework to adopt it for the EFL classroom, dubbing it “critical language pedagogy (CLP).” Although research on CLP in Korean contexts is limited, Crookes (2010) demonstrated that Korean high school students welcomed opportunities to engage in critical,...
