    Task-based Learning

    I first explain what task-based learning is by introducing the concept of a "task" and going through the steps of a tasked-based activity. I further go into the discussion Ellis (2017) brings up about the need for a "hybird syllabus" that allows for tasks to happen in addition to working with specific language features.

    Communicative Language Teaching + Writing

    I briefly introduce the Communicative approach to language teaching, which typically aims at improving students' oral skills. I discuss ways in which the communicative approach can still be used to develop students' writing skills. I go in detail about a specific activity that does just that.

    Sociocultural theory & Complexity theory

    The field of SLA is a field of competing theories grounded in different assumptions about the nature of the mind, the learning process and the social context. Please compare two of these theories: sociocultural theory based on Vygotsky’s ideas and elaborated by Jim Lantolf and chaos/complexity theory adapted for the field of SLA by Diane Larsen-Freeman and Nick Ellis. What are the key assumptions about the L2 learning in each theory? What are their implications for teaching? And which one is closer to your own teaching philosophy and why?

    Continua of Biliteracy - explained (or atleast an attempt to explain)

    Today’s epsidoe will focus around the continua of biliteracy, which is a model created by Nancy Hornberger that frames our thinking around teaching, research and policy concerning biliteracy. I discuss how the model is useful in framing our thinking about designing and evaluating curricula? What are the strengths and limitations of using the “Continua of Biliteracy” in this way?

    Foreign Language Education - why we need it!

    In this episode I talk about the benefits over providing foreign language education in our schools.  Some maye argue that as a result of globalization there is a less of a need for English speakers to learn another language since English has become a global language. However, I think globalization makes learning a foreign language/culture even more critical in today's world. Listen to find out why!

There is one major difference that has a big influence on distinguishing these two types of language learning. In future episodes, I will continue to bring up theories that related to second language acquisition.
