SORU: ?
Focus on the student has led to the development of
learner training and self-directed learning program. ---- If
students make the most of their own decisions about
what to do next and how best to study, so the argument
goes, their learning is better and they achieve more.
Ideally, therefore, a language program would be a
mixture of class work and self-study. Gibling and
Spalding describe a course where their aim was to
encourage self-directed learning. As the weeks went by,
they decreased the number of ‘input’ classes where they
taught in the conventional way and increased sessions
where students could opt out of the regular class and
work on their own (under teacher supervision). Students
were finally observed to develop self-confidence and
learn more efficiently.
