Morality, Relationality, And Listening Pedagogy In Language Education, Bradley Baurain
Morality, Relationality, And Listening Pedagogy In Language Education, Bradley Baurain
Bradley Baurain
Listening pedagogy in language education treats listening proficiency almost exclusively as a function or skill, the purpose of which is to generate products or outcomes desired by language users. Though listening is rhetorically acknowledged to be an active and complex process of making meanings within contexts and relationships, in practice teacher education and pedagogical discourse treat listening simply as a linguistic transaction and listening pedagogy as a technical and instrumental process of skill building, with the goal of enabling learners fluently to perform such transactions.

Small Group Multitasking In Literature Classes, Bradley Baurain
Bradley Baurain
Faced with the challenge of teaching American literature to large, multilevel classes in Vietnam, the writer developed a flexible small group framework called ‘multitasking’. ‘Multitasking’ sets up stable task categories which rotate among small groups from lesson to lesson.
