Dynamic autonomy model with descriptors » Completing tasks



Completing tasks

Part of completing tasks consists of equipping the place of study with the necessary language tools and resources. Other important aspects include organising time to learn, completing individual or multiple tasks, and employing appropriate methods and strategies.

  •  

    I can do this

    I wanto to learn this

    This isn't important for me

    I can set up my work space to optimize learning (for example, with reference works and learning materials).

         

    I can manage my learning time effectively (for example, by setting a sensible time limit for a particular task).

         

    For further descriptors see planning.

  •  

    I can do this

    I wanto to learn this

    This isn't important for me

    I can choose a task (type) that I already know in order achieve my goal.

         

    I can choose an unknown task (type) in order to achieve my goal (for example, a task which was recommended to me).

         

    I can change an existing task (for example, from a textbook) so as to achieve my goal. For example, instead of writing down answers to questions in a listening comprehension task, I can give an oral summary.

         

    I can set myself a task based on authentic material in order to achieve my goal, for example splitting up a text and then piecing it together again in the right order, or making a gap-fill exercise.

         

     

  •  

    I can do ths

    I want to learn this

    This isn't important for me

    I can work alone (for example, to complete a given task).

     

     

     

    I can complete individual tasks that I set myself.

     

     

     

    I can complete tasks that I have set myself even in more difficult phases (for example, if they are not as enjoyable as I had hoped, or if they are difficult).

     

     

     

    I can complete several connected tasks in order to achieve my goal. For example, to prepare for an interview I can

         

    learn specific vocabulary and expressions

     

     

     

    revise specific grammatical forms

     

     

     

    work on certain pronunciation aspects

     

     

     

    work with certain worksheets or authentic materials

     

     

     

    prepare for the interview structure

     

     

     

    practice listening and interacting.

     

     

     

    Please complete the sentence below with one of your goals. Use the example above as a guide.

    I can realise a project (for example, prepare a brochure about my university or prepare a report).

         

    For further descriptors see planning, monitoring and managing my own learning.

  •

    together with others

    In order to achieve my goal, I can use learning materials and resources (for example, a textbook) bearing in mind

     

     

     

    my language competencies

     

     

     

    my learning style.

     

     

     

     In order to achieve my goal, I can use authentic materials (for example, analyse a newspaper article in order to learn the form of indirect speech).

         

    In order to achieve my goal, I can use learning and authentic materials

         

    for a single task

     

     

     

    for a series of tasks with regard to my goal (for example, to give a presentation in the foreign language)

    for an entire programme of learning.

  •

    I want to learn this

    This isn't important for me

    In order to achieve my goal, I can employ different learning methods and strategies

     

     

     

    on my own

     

     

     

    together with others

    For further descriptors see planning.

  •  

    I can do this

    I want to learn this

    This isn't important for me

    I can analyse structures and patterns in the foreign language and draw conclusions from my observations about the structure and use of the language (for example, I observe how the plural is formed, or the past tense forms are used).

         

    I can analyse individual aspects of the foreign language and compare them with my first language or other languages I know (for example, I can compare grammatical structures, vocabulary, sentence structure and text structure).

     

     

     

     

  •  

    I can do this

    I want to learn this

    This isn't important for me

    I can analyse a communication in the foreign language and compare it with a corresponding situation in my first language in order to recognise culturally specific similarities and differences (for example, how to address someone politely, or how to end a conversation politely).

         

     

  •  

    I can do this

    I want to learn this

     

     

       

     

     

       

     

Do you like learning together with others? In that case, go to cooperating.
