English | ISBN: 1443881678 | 2017 | 155 pages | PDF | 570 KB
Creating classroom spaces that allow for increased learner participation and lowered anxiety levels allows for an inclusive learning environment. Continuing collaborative efforts to challenge theories and further test methodologies by drawing upon research studies helps researchers and educators to become more informed about individual learner preferences and classroom contextual factors and to foster meaningful learning environments across disciplines. Specifically, examining distinct learner contexts can allow educators to explore new avenues of pedagogical design to improve learning contexts. Taking into consideration diverse approaches to language pedagogies, distinct learning styles, and the growing need to develop intercultural competence in communities and professions across the globe, this book will serve to help educators transform classrooms into socially engaging environments, and explores innovative ways in which pedagogical performance and learning experiences can be improved. Drawing upon sociocultural theory, cognitive theory, and affective factors in foreign language learning, this study is based on doctoral research that explores the effects of interlocutor familiarity in group settings in two beginner-level language courses. Reflecting on diverse learner perspectives and individual learner factors can allow educators to increase learners connections to content and transform the way we approach pedagogical methods and diverse learner needs.

The teaching experiments are presented across four sections: Abstraction, Organization, Building, and Narrative, exposing core parts of an architect’s education and how educators can simultaneously provide fundamental skills and constructive literacy while instigating environmental sensibilities. Chapters cover issues such as an unstable hydrosphere, water infrastructure, remediating materials, methods of disassembly and adaptive reuse, as well as constructing new aesthetic categories of climate change, and implementing oral histories of construction, among many others.
