Remarks
As we come to the end of this TTC course, I want to take a moment to reflect on the important ideas we’ve explored and to offer some thoughts on where we go from here.
Throughout this course, we’ve examined a number of different approaches to language teaching, and we’ve seen how many of these approaches have limitations that prevent them from fully meeting the needs of our students. We’ve also explored some promising alternatives, including Stern’s three- dimensional framework, Allwright’s Exploratory Practice framework, and Kumaravadivelu’s macro- strategic framework.
But while these frameworks are valuable and represent important steps towards a postmethod pedagogy, they are just the beginning. In order to truly revolutionize language teaching, we need to go further.
This is where the Xist School comes in. The Xist School is a new approach to language teaching that is based on a radical rethinking of how we teach and learn languages. At its core, the Xist School is built on the idea that language learning is a social and cultural activity, and that effective language teaching must be grounded in an understanding of the diverse contexts in which language is used.
The Xist School offers a comprehensive plan for revolutionizing language teaching, one that emphasizes collaboration, community building, and learner autonomy. Through a range of innovative pedagogical strategies and techniques, the Xist School seeks to empower students to take control of their own learning, to engage with language in meaningful and relevant ways, and to develop the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in today’s interconnected world.
If you’re inspired by the ideas we’ve explored in this course and want to take your teaching to the next level, I invite you to join us at the Xist School. Our team of experienced language teachers and researchers is dedicated to developing new and innovative approaches to language teaching, and we are always looking for new collaborators and partners.
Whether you’re a seasoned language teacher or just starting out, we believe that you have the potential to make a real difference in the lives of your students. So if you’re ready to join us in this exciting journey of discovery and exploration, we invite you to get in touch and learn more about how you can become a part of the Xist School community.
