Toyohashi JALT:

Enhancing Perceived Value in the Language Classroom. From Apathy to Autonomy in Language Learning

Date: Sunday, January 28th, 2001 Time: 1:30 PM - 4:00 PM

Speaker: Paul Raymond Doyon (Asahi University) and Brad Deacon (Nanzan University)

Description:
The speakers using anecdotes from their own lives and classrooms will introduce the concept of "Perceived Value" and demonstrate techniques on how a teacher can shift students' perceptions, and in turn, create autonomy out of apathy in the language classroom. Moreover, the Kolb Experiential Learning Model--experience, reflection, conceptualization, and experimentation--will be introduced as a model for teacher development and problem solving in the classroom.
