unit 4

Some takeaways from the readings were about the 8 principles of teaching.
Automaticity- being able to automatically understand and process what is being said or read without too much thinking.
transfer - transferring existing knowledge and ability to new knowledge or ability.
reward - motivation and self-determination
self-regulation - manage themselves and time, the capacity to control their learning, develop autonomy
identity and investment - learning their likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses. learners participation based on investment.
interaction - willingness to communicate, feedback
languaculture - community of practise, different meanings based on culture, language culture connections
agency - empowerment, self-actualisation, self-efficacy, learners ability to make choices to pursue goal.
further in depth to agency was about encouraging learners to "do" language, allow ELLs to develop a voice and develop self regulatory strategies.
