From passive objects of research to active co-researchers: children developing autonomous skills
In this workshop I will be sharing my experiences of working with primary English teachers in India who tried to engage their learners as co-researchers in their classrooms. I will share some practical examples of tasks and activities that have worked well in these classrooms and the participants of the workshop will have the chance to ask questions as well as offer their views and experiences. We will also explore the links between these tasks and what autonomous learning might mean in children's English classes. If participants are interested, I can further share the children's and the teachers' reflections about their experiences of working together as co-researchers.
