Are you a teacher coaching learners to make sense of their mistakes in knowledge clips by linking rules in an unorthodox way? GuLL offers a new language acquisition approach connecting open educators with graphic facilitation, the art of hosting, narrative coaching and user-centered design. This MOOC is for any educator who is committed to inclusive education, making sure all learners know how to succeed.
Guerrilla Literacy Learners creates a mistake-driven language acquisition approach. Starting from mistake approaches from structuralism, error analysis, Montessori to Freinet, we develop an approach that applauds the mistakes being made as they allow us to create this new way of learning. Mistakes are pathways to new strategies.These will be described and remediated in lay terms. Teachers and learners learn how to create knowledge clips based on digital storytelling; gather Guerrilla paths through narrative coaching, graphic facilitation, human-centred design, art of hosting and formulate and apply Guerrilla patterns in Communities of Practice.
At the end of the MOOC:
- The teacher has defined/chosen her learner role (such as grammar nerd, error spotter, mathematician, do-gooder, cultural mixer, creative mixer, red-light admirer, word dweller, aesthetician) and her preferred teacher environment (structuralism, error analysis, Montessori, Steiner, Freinet, Dalton);
