Language teaching without logbooks!!! Forget it!!!
Logbooks give teachers an insight into students’ learning and teachers’ practice. But they do so much more. If you want to learn to swim, then you have to get into the water and do it. If you want to learn a language you have to get into your logbook and do it. Logbooks are the goldmines of language learning. Kids do it! Kids learn. Kids use language in an authentic communication and teachers experience learning and meet the individual student in and through the words of the learner. A language classroom without a logbook is nonsense! In this workshop we shall analyse 13-14 year olds’ logbooks and discuss their use in the autonomous classroom.
