Hello everyone!
Today I'll be talking about 21st
century learning, including what it is and why it's crucial for language learning.
Let’s start with what 21st
century learning is. 21st century learning is the process of equipping students
with the information and skills including digital literacy, critical thinking
and problem solving, communication and collaboration. Students should learn and
use these skills to become successful in their school and work life.
In my opinion, if students and teachers
have these skills and develop them, language learning would not be a big
problem. I think that communication skill is the most crucial skill in language
learning, because grammar can be learned while studying books but if you don’t practice
speaking you most probably won’t be able to talk fluently in English and never
learn the usage of English. For that reason, teachers must develop their
students’ communication skills. Also giving them group works would develop
their collaboration, critical thinking and problem solving skills.
As a teacher candidate, and as a student
who didn’t use technology as a learning equipment, I will give my lessons
accordingly to 21st century learning. If I simply think about my language
lessons in the past, I realize that I wouldn’t learn English without my own
efforts. If we used technology in our classes, everything would be very
different for me. I don’t want my students to think the same way as I do now,
and I’ll try my best to prevent it.
Until next time, take care <3
