Academic Programs - MIIS

This talk adopts the notions of van Lier’s (2004a) ecological perspective, van Manen’s (1992) tact of teaching and “reflection in action”, Kumaravadivelu’s (2003) pedagogic wheel and Dai’s (2014) cognitive approach to teaching. The author examines what ecological perspectives provide for language education and teacher training. Language education should be elevated to an understanding of the larger environment where the agent perceives, interprets and creates affordances for teaching and learning.
