Learning Situations
Definition of a learning situation
In order to allow the development of the ESL competencies, a learning situation must be meaningful, open-ended and complex. A meaningful learning situation:
- helps adult learners easily see connections between the tasks carried out in the classroom and their possible reinvestment in everyday life
- refers to current events or issues related to the broad areas of learning.
An open-ended learning situation allows adult learners to explore more than one solution to an issue/problem:
- lends itself to various tasks, activities and productions
- supports the use of various research and communication resources.
A complex learning situation:
- encourages adult learners to mobilize a variety of resources
