Another great week that ends!!!!!
AUTONOMY LEARNING
What can I do to encourage autonomy in my students?
Among the activities to encourage autonomy in my students it is a good idea working in projects because it motivates students offering them a way of practicing their English while having fun, by creating something, students use English as a tool and see how useful it can be. This process does motivate students and involves them in their own learning.
Project work makes students responsible for their own learning. Since the project is student-centered rather than teacher-directed, students have to do all the project work independently. They have to make their plan, decide what they will do and discuss how they will do it and all the other details, not only the content of the project, but the language requirements as well. This process places the responsibility on students, both as individuals and as members of a co-operative learning group. And definitely, being responsible for their own learning helps develop autonomy.
During the process of the project work, the teacher is there to provide assistance, help students solve the problems they come across and help them gain confidence through evaluation. Once they have a sense of achievement, they will be more autonomous.

We can do projects either with or without technology.
