Mutual Empowerment in Challenging Times
We live in challenging times. The world is changing around us, and many of us feel that we have less and less say in matters affecting our lives. At the same time as these changes are occurring, the way that our language learners have been regarded has been similar in some ways. Even though educators are well-intentioned, learners have often been “done unto” rather than doing for themselves. For instance, they are said to need customized input to be provided for them by their teachers. They are categorized, for example as unmotivated or motivated or as having learning differences, and are treated accordingly. They are seen to be passively socialized into learning communities. Furthermore, their agency as learners is statistically concealed behind “averages,” and their success thwarted by ideologies and by the constraints of the classroom.
In this talk, I will call for a renewed respect for the agency of the language learner. This does not mean that the learner operates freely without social constraints or educational consequences, but it does mean that learners can participate more fully in the teaching-learning partnership. I think that this can be accomplished if we think in terms of affordances, rather than input; of transformation, rather than transfer; of innovations, rather than errors; and of iteration, rather than repetition. Mutual empowerment can help both learners and teachers together better cope with these challenging times.
