In: Foreign Language Teaching and Learning ENHANCING SELF-REGULATED LEARNING STRATEGIES THROUGH PROJECT-BASED LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATION: CURRICULAR AND INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES (original) (raw)

2019, Foreign Language Teaching and Learning

This chapter focuses on teaching methodologies and classroom practices that could provide learning opportunities to develop and maintain academic skills and self-regulated language learning strategies, specifically, through implementing a project-based learning approach. Recent research frequently reports the need for learners, particularly at university level, to acquire lifelong learning skills including academic skills (e.g., outlining texts and lectures, creating and supporting arguments, etc.); self-regulated learning strategies (e.g., cognitive, metacognitive, socio-cultural strategies, etc.); digital literacy along with specific field content. However, establishing such learning opportunities requires current teaching curricula and approaches to leave room for the integration of skills and strategy for learning, as well as the application of digital tools. The following sections are geared towards discussing such integration alternatives.
