Learning Autonomy, Digital Learners and Google Education: A Rhizomatic English Syllabus Framework
Kara, Samia
The EUROCALL Review, v27 n1 p30-47 Mar 2019
Exploiting the free technology empowering services with which Google supplies the educational field, the present paper contributes a Google Education mediated syllabus framework to the field of teaching English as a second/ foreign language. Through a systems approach methodology, the framework addressed the concepts of 'learner autonomy' and 'digital learners' within the scope of its consecutive blocks: conceptualisation, planning and development. The relevance of this effort is to be seen in terms of bridging the ever-growing gap between the classroom and the digital world of web 2.0 learners; as well as enabling the teachers to contextualise the proposed tool with regard to their syllabi development, renewal and adaptation.
