Providing a set of
activities that support students learning
Teachers may have a very committed group of
students who have genuine motivation to learn, and a good set of tools to carry
out their activities, but those activities we bring need to give the class
learner-centered approach.
The
ECRIF framework and its encountering, clarifying, internalizing and fluency
stages helps framing the task so the learners and the focus of teaching at all
times.
One
quote from this chapter that I find interesting is one by Lev Vygotsky, “What a
child can do today with assistance, she wil be able to do by herself tomorrow.”
This statement seems true not only about learners, but also about instructors
who trying to find ways to help their learners.
Something I want to remember
about this reading is the concept of scaffolding. Every lesson should have
smooth transitions that lead the learners from easier tasks to more complex
one. This process will hopefully help them achieve their fluency objective by
the end of the lesson.
