Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

A learner-centered approach to teaching shifts the learners’ interests and needs into the focus of the teaching process. Learner-centered methods and activities encourage learners to take risks, participate actively in their learning process in- and outside school and develop their own ways of acquiring new competencies.

This course is aimed at introducing learner-centered methods and activities for diagnosing learners’ language skills and needs, planning and teaching lessons in heterogenous groups and assessing learners work in a supportive way. The participants will acquire a wide range of motivating and creative methods and materials for listenening, reading, writing and speaking that are adaptable to a variety of learners and teaching situations. The course is interactive, enabling participants to experience methods and activities introduced, teach and discuss lessons planned.

Objectives:
• Discovering one’s approach to teaching and learning
• Defining a “learner-centered“ approach
• Defining learning aims and diagnosing learner needs
• Adapting course book activities according to teaching aims and learner needs
• Integrating learner-centered methods and activities into everyday classroom practice

• Adapting activities and tasks for different purposes, levels and learning styles
• Creating favourable conditions for a learner-centered climate in the classroom
