Subject: [ELA 5934] New brief to download on Evidence-Based,Student-Centered Instructional PracticesItalic text To: The Adult English Language Acquisition Discussion List Thursday, April 22, 2010 9:52 AM Hello, everyone. Is it possible for evidence-based instructional practices to also be learner centered? Is there an overlap? On which topics?
A new brief that addresses these questions as they pertain to instruction for adults learning English is available from the CAELA Network and can be downloaded at http://www.cal.org/caelanetwork/resources/studentcentered.html Evidence-Based, Student-Centered Instructional Practices <http://www.cal.org/caelanetwork/resources/studentcentered.html> Joy Kreeft Peyton, Sarah Catherine K. Moore, and Sarah Young Center for Applied Linguistics, Washington, DC April 2010
This brief discusses evidence-based and student-centered instruction, gives examples of instructional approaches that are supported by evidence, and describes how teachers of adults learning English as a second language can work together in learning communities to increase their knowledge of and skills with student-centered instructional practices that are evidence-based.
