1. Define the notion of autosomy
Autonomy- capacity to take responsibility and control of your learning. Ss have individual needs and learning styles( learner centred instruction= step towards autonomy).
2. Give characteristics of autonomus teacher.
*advisor *prompter *coach *controller *researcher *facilitator * personal tutor * adviser * supportive
3. Give characteristic of autonomus learner.
· Understanding of what is being taught
· Are able to formulate their learning objectives
· Are able to select and make use of appropriate learning strategy
· Are able to monitor their use of these strategies
· Are able to self-assess or monitor their own learning
· Know their weakness and strengths
· Are able to define their needs, goals
4. The difference between research and action research
Research is not suppose to change practices. Action research is based on case and data . In research you have hypothetic problem. Action research produces better practice and outcome.
Action research is : *carried out by practitioner * produces better practice * based on empirical or case data.
5. Steps in the research process
a) Issue identification - talking about the problem a teacher has.
b) Preliminary investigation – observing the situation/thinking about the facts/ asking more detailed questions in order o find out more about situation
c) Hypothesis – the teacher decides on he roots of the problem identified
d) Plan intervention
e) Outcome – reflect upon your research findings, conclusion, what practical action you might take as a result of your research eg. Evaluation
f) Reporting- presentation of analysis of your findings(conclusion) in various forms(articles)
6. Characteristic of Action research -> validity
Validity- is the research design such that we can confidently claim that the outcomes are a result of the experiential treatment? Is the research design such that we can generalise beyond the subjects under investigation to a wider population?
7. Two main categories of course book
· Traditional- a type of book that tries to get the Ss to learn the lg as a system
· Communicative – create an opportunity for Ss to use a lg in the classroom , as a sort of halfway before using it in real life.
8. General criteria for course cook evaluation
· Background of the Ss ( Ss’ profile)
· Methodology ( theoretical approach)
· Underlying philosophy , aims and objectives of the curriculum
· Content ( appropriate, meaningful etc)
· Sequencing (grading)
· Recycling/summary/revision
· Design and layout ( format/illustrations)
· Practical considerations ( price , availability of integral parts of the course
9. Stages of evaluation
a) Initial evaluation- we filter out unsuitable materials
b) Detailed evaluation – how well the course book will do, whether it is more or less suitable than other textbooks
c) Initial evaluation – does it work in the classroom? Use questionnaire. Monitor book’ progress and arrange meeting with other teachers to discuss about it
