Learning language through project baed learning and multidisciplinary approach
Learning language through PBL and multidisciplinary approach is an innovative methodology focusing on the learning of language whilst simultaneously teaching content from a subject area such as humanistic or scientific area
Description
The course focuses on implementing a foreign or second language as a medium of instruction and learning for primary, secondary and/or vocational level subjects such as Math, Science, Art or Business. This methodology is flexible and adjustable to the learners’ needs, level of language competence and level of academic achievement. Therefore the role of the teacher is essential as “language mediators in order to ‘build bridges’ between the learners and the new subject knowledge”. Multidisciplinary approach is action-oriented, task-based and student-centered. It aims at combining language practice and specific content delivery and fosters foreign language and intercultural competence acquisition. As far as the language dimension is concerned, seven principles for language practice can be identified. 1. “Mediate” language between the learner and new knowledge 2. Develop subject language awareness 3. Plan with language in mind 4. Carry out a curriculum language audit
