.........................methods deal with preselected, presequenced , accumulated entities. Language learning and teaching are intentional.
LANGUAGE-CENTRED
SYSTEMIC FUNCTIONAL LANGUAGE
It's an approach to teaching grammar/ language within a particular text. Texts are functional in different contexts for the realization of different purposes
How can ER ( exploratory research) impact on your teaching?
- Autonomous teachers: better understanding to take decisions
- Reflect upon your own practice: more flexibility and willingness to adapt to change
- Better practice and better learning opportunities for students : It draws on normal pedagogic practices in real time, in the actual classroom.
COMMUNICATION ( in CLIL settings) refers to progression in new knowledge, skills and understanding
NOP! this refers to CONTENT

POSSIBILITY
the Language Triptych ( in CLIL terms)
How the three kinds of language, within COMMUNICATION, interact with one another. The three of them assure progression in language learning and language use
How does Critical Pedagogy relate to teaching CSE content?
It relates the classroom context to the wider social context and aims at social transformation through education, which is what the CSE law, and the actual teaching of CSE , aims at.
Kumara's definition of method is the following:
"A method is a set of theoretically unified classroom techniques thought to be generalizable across a wide variety of contexts and audiences.”
NO! that's Brown's definition, which is problematic in different ways
Kumara: a method needs to satisfy two criteria 1) theoretical principles derived from feeder disciplines and 2) guide curricular content ( level, aims, etc)
According to Kumara, the three parameters manifest themselves through the pedagogic ...................., which are
1) the postmethod learner
2) the postmethod teacher
3) The postmethod......................
