Whether we like it or not, there still are some teacher who choose lectures over interaction...<br /><br />Hope this clarifies my thoughts...Yohihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14187703913433755946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3353800364921630833.post-83960727895077996012009-07-31T21:29:26.006-03:002009-07-31T21:29:26.006-03:00Hey!

I think that spending endless hours wondering if we are ready or not we are actually wasting essential time. Why don't we simply do it? The most efficient way of learning if our students are ready or not is, I guess, starting to empower them so as to help them realise that there is a lot more to learning English than meets the eye ;)<br />Once autonomy becomes a possibility, it is our students' task to decide what they are going to do with it. In the meantime, it will be our task to show them the advantages and all the doors that such a new attitude can generate in their lives. <br />♫I want to break free♫ALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11850779971577299904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3353800364921630833.post-9795207306845888792009-07-31T21:09:05.342-03:002009-07-31T21:09:05.342-03:00Nice thoughts, Yohi!

I definitely agree with you that planning how far we want to go is as important as setting "the right" goals... and it's also worth remembering that the cost of teaching autonomy to students who aren't used to it can be high!<br /><br />I know you've read Alez's post on this topic too. Though both of you emphasise the question of the teacher "being ready" I'd say we must get started now, no matter whether we teachers feel ready or not!<br /><br />Take care,<br /><a href="http://www.pageflakes.com/gladysbaya" rel="nofollow"><i>Gladys</i></a><br /><br />PS: why do you call "interaction" a strategy?Gladys Bayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10637060860005714720noreply@blogger.com
