Hi,
There is a common core of issues and understanding regarding learner autonomy but the practical English Language Teaching challenge several common assumptions in ELT pedagogy, as we have seen at our questions: WHAT else can be used on this way? Does anyone have any tasks/activities or design principles for fostering learner autonomy that they can share? Does anyone have any tips or techniques for me regarding the fostering of autonomy in the classroom using the target language?
What kinds of practical suggestions, resourses and activities could be integrated into the regular curriculum in order to serve a linguistic purpose in listening skills and development of learner autonomy?

Hi Phil,
That's a brilliant idea! Is it possible to visit your Moodle site as a guest?

Hi all,
The address is http://pimoodle.ninehub.com You go to English and then Extensive Listening. You will be able to view the weekly topics, but guests cannot complete the questionnaires. I will set up a generic Member account with member/member as username and password. You should then be able to look at the questionnaires.
Regards,
Phil

Actually this week would be an ideal time to visit as it Exam week here, and we are opening up all the previous weeks so that students can listen to any that they might have missed.

Hi Phil,

Best to all,

Hi Sirin
A colleague of mine has created an Extensive
listening site which we encourage our students to visit. We use
the questionnaire format in Moodle with an embedded soundfile.
The questions are standard for each activity which vary from VOA
Special English to old radio shows. The purpose is to help
students develop the skills that they will need when they are listening
to lectures after leaving our Foundation Program as well as simply
listening for enjoyment.
