"Are you going to make us do these jobs at home??"

In a recent mini survey of 17 language teachers from 10 Anglican schools, I asked them to list 3 qualities they hoped a graduating student from their school would demonstrate. The responses, visualised in the above Word Cloud, were not surprisingly similar; the most commonly nominated qualities sitting under the broader concept of 'hospitality'.
But could there be a gap between what we aspire to develop in our students and what our current framework of mandatory outcomes and assessment criteria actually promote? Can we make a difference by being more intentional in our pedagogical approaches, while still respecting course requirements? |
