Humanism in English Language Teaching
Слайд 2Plan:
1) Humanistic language teaching
2)We can identify three main figures in
this approach:
Erik Erikson
Abraham Maslow
Carl Rogers
3) Conclusion
Слайд 3'Humanism' is one of those constructs that people argue about
passionately. Instead of attempting to define it, perhaps it makes
more sense to focus on some commonly agreed characteristics of humanism.
These are: problem-solving, reasoning, free will, self-development, and co-operation.
Слайд 4“Humanistic Approach” is like this: (in language teaching) a term
sometimes used for methods in which the following principles are
considered important:
a) development of human values
b) growth in self-awareness and in the understanding of others
c) sensitivity to human feelings and emotions
d) active student involvement in learning and in the way learning takes place
Слайд 5Role of Humanistic Approaches in Learner Motivation
Motivation, including extrinsic and
intrinsic, can be defined as the need or reason and
urge to do something. Acquisition of any language involves motivation. In fact, I consider motivation as the first step in learning. In this part of my assignment I am going to explore the influence of humanistic approaches in creating motivation in learners of language.
Слайд 7Erikson’s theory
Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development is one of
the best-known theories of personality in psychology. Much like Sigmund
Freud, Erikson believed that personality develops in a series of stages. Unlike Freud's theory of psychosexual stages, Erikson's theory describes the impact of social experience across the whole lifespan.
Слайд 8Main elements of Erikson's psychosocial stage theory is the development
of ego identity
Слайд 9EPIGENETIC PRINCIPLE
8 STAGES FROM BIRTH TO OLD AGE: each
with a particular crisis
STAGES /CHALLENGES PARENTS’/TEACHERS’ ATTITUDES
Слайд 12Carl Rogers, another humanistic psychologist, proposed a theory called the
person-centered theory.
Carl Roger's Theory
Слайд 13Rogers (1969) identified key elements if the humanistic approach to
education.
Human beings: have a natural potential for learning.
Слайд 15Conclusion
The thrust of humanism seems, to us , to be
the ability to advance as a species through understanding and
co-operation. This means that humanistic language teachers need to have a thorough grasp of both how people learn and what motivates them to learn. They need to shed the old image of the teacher being the fount of wisdom and replace it with the teacher as facilitator.
