Plusieurs exemples d’une démarche actionnelle, toutes centrées sur la réalisation de projets et issues des cours d’allemand proposés au service LANSAD de l’Université Stendhal-Grenoble 3, permettent de mettre en lumière la manière dont un tel enseignement est structuré. Après un bref aperçu des différents projets, dont certains sont transversaux et communs à plusieurs cours, nous focaliserons sur l’apport du numérique dans ce type de démarche, ainsi que sur le soutien de l’autonomie et de la créativité dans le cadre du cours et, de manière contrastive, le nécessaire investissement par l’étudiant en termes d’autonomie et de créativité.

Somewhere between a PowerPoint presentation and a full-fledged video is the audio slideshow. Creating audio slideshows can be a good way to add meaning to slides that otherwise might not mean much without a presenter. Here are some ways that students can create audio slideshows.

An iTILT publication by Hillier, Beauchamp & Whyte just appeared in the BESA journal Educational Perspectives. The editorial notes: "Vol. 5 (2) is a themed edition of the journal, its focus being international and comparative issues in Education Studies. The first article by Emily Hillier, Gary Beauchamp and Shona Whyte involves teachers from schools across seven countries in Europe. It is a study of self-efficacy in the use of interactive whiteboards across educational settings. It offers a pan-European perspective through its report and analysis on the preliminary findings of an EU-funded project called Interactive Technologies in Language Teaching. Significantly, despite reporting initial low levels of self-efficacy with particular features and tools of the IWB, teachers across the European cohort remained positive about the potential benefit of using IWBs to increase pupil participation, engagement and motivation."

"2011 TESOL Spain talk on Second Language Acquisition and its possible implications for ELT. It was delivered by a guy called Geoff Jordan, who’s I’m delighted to announce is now the second guest poster I’ve had here. Geoff has lived in Spain since 1981, working at ESADE, Barcelona for 28 years, first as a language teacher and then as Director of Studies. Since 2004, he’s been freelance, doing English immersion courses from home, working with post-doctoral students at the Universitat Politecnica de Barcelona and on the Distance Learning MA in AL and TESOL programme at Leicester University. Geoff also has his own blog, aimed particularly at those doing postgraduate work in Applied Linguistics, but surely of interest to anyone involved in teaching EFL." Hugh Dellar Delete the scoop?

Quelles sont les incidences, pour l’enseignant, d’une volonté affirmée de développer l’autonomie de ses étudiants ? Nous nous proposons d’approcher cette question sur le plan de la conception et celui de l’accompagnement dans une double perspective complémentaire, celle de l’agir compétent situé et celle offerte par l’approche socio-constructiviste. Elle nous amènera à nous interroger, du côté de l’enseignant, de l’apprenant ou des pairs, sur la place et le rôle de l’étayage, des stratégies d’apprentissage, sociales et affectives en particulier, de la motivation intrinsèque ainsi que du travail collaboratif dans le développement de l’autonomie.

By Maryellen Weimer, PhD For some time now my good friend and colleague Larry Spence and I have been discussing the role of questions in the college classroom. The conversation started with concerns over the quantity and quality of questions students ask—those earnest questions about what's going to be on the exam and gently demanding queries about what the teacher "wants" in almost any kind of written assignment. Those questions are important to students, but they certainly are not the questions of curious learners nor are they the type of questions that motivate learning and intellectual development.

Article by Dan Frost and Alice Henderson in APLIUT (open access).
"Les participants en France (74 % anglophones non natifs) ont évalué leur propre prononciation plutôt favorablement (4,1/5), moyenne identique à celle de la Suisse où 84 % des participants sont des anglophones natifs. Cependant, dans les entretiens, un manque d’assurance de la part des enseignants français se manifeste par rapport soit à leur propre prononciation, soit à leur façon de l’enseigner (par exemple un souci révélé dans les commentaires sur la maîtrise de l’API et/ou de diverses technologies). Une enseignante en France indique que les grands défis dans l’enseignement de la prononciation sont au nombre de deux : aider l’apprenant à améliorer sa prononciation afin de ne pas en avoir honte et rendre les locuteurs non natifs facilement compréhensibles."
