● Self-Directed LearningⅡ

051-H-158

This course will provide learners with guidance and support needed to apply the knowledge, skills, and understandings gained in Self-directed Learning I to better organize and monitor their own learning more effectively. Learners will apply techniques for managing time, setting appropriate goals, evaluating performance, and reporting on their English language learning to plan and carry out individual study plans that meet their individual language needs and personal interests. Reflection activities will help learners understand how to apply these skills more broadly to learning other subjects as well. Instructors will assist learners in effectively studying the English language as self-directed and more autonomous learners.

Students will consolidate the knowledge and skills required for self-directed learning they acquired in SDL I. Based upon feedback from instructors and peers, learners will extend their independent learning and engage in fully self-directed learning by planning, carrying out, evaluating, and reporting on their own language and content learning.

This course will consist of short in-class demonstrations and out of class reading or video assignments for acquiring information and developing English language skills. Students will work in pairs or small groups to assess each other’s progress and to learn from peers. Instructors will lead the class in shared activities, but also work one-on-one or in small groups in a tutorial style. Instructors will provide learners with feedback on their language learning plans as needed and assist them in improving their English language skills.

Students will be expected to devote significant amounts of time to language study outside the classroom several times each week.
