s2- P-Autonomous Learning Environments (2019-1)

Welcome

The purpose of this course is for you to reflect upon issues regarding oneself as an autonomous life-long learner and determine how to contribute to the development of your students’ autonomy. Throughout the course you will gain knowledge in regards to autonomy related to language learning and teaching, reflect upon your own development of autonomy and find out alternatives to foster it in your students. Some of the inquiries around which reflections, discussions, and actions during the course will be centered are: Why is autonomy important in the field of language teaching-learning? How autonomous am I as a teacher and learner? How do I know that? What strategies can I employ to become more autonomous? What strategies could be implemented in the language classroom to direct learners towards developing their own autonomy?
