Step 3: MAPPING MY LEARNING

You should now have a plan of what you want to achieve, well, sort of... So, to complete the plan, you will now focus on the destination and the “how will I get there”!

We especially want to know where this challenge can take place.

Here the dimensions in focus are especially:

GOAL SETTING & PLANNING

  • Planning my self-learning agenda

INITIATIVE & OWNERSHIP

  • Understanding my limitations, my possibilities
  • Taking responsibility for my own learning
  • Finding analogies
  • Seeking input from others

ENGAGEMENT & MANAGEMENT

  • Select & seek out resources available to me
THE LEARNING ARENAS

Language learning can happen anywhere. If it is informal, it takes place in areas other than a classroom, meaning there is no teacher setting tasks or providing instructions and follow-ups. The learning, in your case, takes place in different Arenas. You need to decide where would be the best place to go in search of your learning, and who/what will be able to help you.

LEARNING IN THE WILD

This is the learning that takes place in the public space. It especially focuses on active communication and the language interactions that can take place in the public space. This can be on public transport, in a coffee shop, at the grocery store, or an open house event in your neighbourhood.

LEARNING ON THE WEB

This is the learning that takes place online while interacting with others (directly/ indirectly). This includes, e.g., forums, social media, online platforms, etc.

LEARNING BY MYSELF

This is a more passive way of learning and can take place online as well as “in the real world”, but does not require any interaction with others. These can be activities such as reading a book, listening to a podcast, or writing a diary.
