At the turn of the 21st Century, innovative approaches to language teaching have placed the “learning by doing” principle into focus based on the premise that students learn a language by using the language. Teaching frameworks such as Task-based Language Teaching, Project-Based Teaching, Content-Based Language instruction, Content and Language Integrated Learning are all based on this premise as well as classroom-based assessments such as Integrated Performance Assessment.
Our goal for the CLS 2024 is to explore how pedagogies inspired by action-oriented frameworks are designed and implemented in the classroom.
