Learning Approaches in
Language Learning
Lesson 1
•Inquiry-Based Learning
(IBL) and Research-Based
Learning
Language Learning
• Type of Activities:
Discussions
Presentations
Games
Worksheets
Short readings and Short writings
Case studies/Scenarios
surveys
• Active learning approaches are characterized by
learners’ engagement in activities that are geared
towards the generation of new knowledge or making
meaning to an existing knowledge while developing
21st century skills.
• What are the 21st Century Skills?
COLLABORATION
MEDIA LITERACY
CRITICAL THINKING
• Four of the recent active learning approaches
introduced to enhance the teaching learning process
are:
Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL)
Research-Based Learning
Problem-Based Learning
Project-Based Learning
INQUIRY-BASED LEARNING
•Problem-Based
Learning and Project-
Based Learning
Problem-Based and Project-Based Learning
• Why are they important for our learners?
• Great strategies to engage students
• Help students become critical thinkers
• Develop 21st century skills
What is Problem-based Learning?
• Problem are complex and open-ended
• Students work in group collaboratively to solve problems
• Students use resources, including technology to work together to solve
problems
• Problems often incorporate real-life situations
5 principles of Problem-based learning
• It is a power of independent and self-directed learning.
• Learning happens in a group and teacher is a facilitator
• All groups have to participate equally
• Students’ learn about motivation, teamwork, problem-solving and
engagement with the task.
• Materials such as data, photographs, articles can be used to solve problem.
Lo (2009, p.208) proposed six-stage process
used in the adoption of the outline PBL
1. Identifying the problem
2. Brainstorming
3. Collecting and Analyzing the information
4. Synthesizing Information
5. Co-Building knowledge
6. Refining outcomes
Benefits of Problem-Based Learning
(Ghufron and Ermawati)
1. Promotes self-confidence and motivation
2. Reduces students’ nervousness during the learning process
3. Increases students’ responsibility in learning
4. Makes students easily learn the material through sharing ideas
5. Promotes problem-solving skills
6. Promotes self-directed learning
7. Promotes active learning
8. Make students explore many learning resources
9. Makes students develop positive attitude towards learning
Baresh, Ali and Darmi (2019)
• Enhances fluency in communication
• Improves grammar
• Increases comprehension
• Enhances good pronunciation and intonations
• Enhances self-confidence
• Increases range of vocabulary
Different studies in PBL
• Lin (2017)
• PBL participants are significantly more active in English learning attitudes
• “Motivation intensity” their desire to earn English, and communication
inside and outside the classroom were significantly higher than those of
the participants of the non-PBL group.
• Marcusic and Sabijic (2019)
• PBL is an acceptable methodogical system
Roles of Technology
• It will allow learners to be actively connected and engaged in group task.
• Technology is simply the mediator for collaboration and representation
and that it is the type of task and thinking processes in which students
engage that determine the quality of learning (Bower, Hedberg and
Kuswara)
• Technologies are characterized by collaboration, sharing and networking
(Tambouris et al. 2012)
Nature of Project-based Learning or Project-
based Approach
• A student-centered approach
• Social constraction of knowledge (John Dewey
and Vygotsky)
• Collaborative task guided by an open-ended
question
Researchers that proven PrBL to be beneficial:
1. Research Methodology Skills ( Tiwari, Arya and
Bansal 2107)
• Students knowledge of the topic taken, searching
review for the topic, communication skills, data
collection skills, and analytical and presentation
were enhanced. PrBL could cause 100%
enhancement of the knowledge in various
components.
• Oral Communicative Competence (Bakar,
Noordin and Rali 2019)
• Significant improvement in the learners’ overall oral
communicative competence after 12-week intervention using
PrBL
• PrBL is affective in English language teaching
• Development of Life Skills (Wurdinger and Qureshi
2015)
• Mix method
• PrBL promotes further development of life skills
