Ecosystem
Why?
-
When learners follow their curiosity and creativity, they stumble upon "happy accidents," which are resources perfectly suited to their level and interests.
-
-
-
Developing a language ecosystem liberates learners from relying solely on textbooks or commercial products and empowers them to choose their own curriculum based on their interests and understanding of language learning principles. Making real connections in the language learning process feels enjoyable rather than laborious.
What?
learners should surround themselves with language in a natural way, integrating it into their daily lives.
They should go on language missions to gather and utilize resources that match their personal preferences and lifestyle
Search engines, social media, streaming platforms, and music can be valuable sources for finding resources.
Joining a language-learning network is crucial, whether it's finding face-to-face speaking companions among family and friends or connecting with fluent speakers and fellow language learners online.
The network provides opportunities for feedback, practice, and shared interests. Additionally, learners should go beyond collecting resources and focus on utilizing them effectively.
Three strategies—predict, prepare, and perform—can help turn resources into practice tasks. Predicting involves imagining future conversations and preparing by practicing responses. Finally, learners should perform by engaging in conversations with partners, even if they stumble or make mistakes.
How?
-
in personal language learning ecosystems, individuals can motivate themselves with a series of incentives. They can set rewards for accomplishing small commitments, such as checking social media or indulging in a treat, and larger rewards for achieving long-term goals, such as tickets to a movie or a dream vacation. By incorporating incentives, language learners can maintain motivation and track their progress effectively.
