Review the below and discuss with your groupmates:

- how these outcomes contribute to the development of an ELL's critical consciousness as a Canadian. ]]> 2021-02-21 21:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/nishapanchaln/hqdvter6o4ssxt9z/wish/1224187196 Group 1 - Learner Motivation nishapanchaln https://padlet.com/nishapanchaln/hqdvter6o4ssxt9z/wish/1224208976 Below is a sample "topic-based outcome" (click to enlarge) from a Canadian Adult ESL Curriculum text from 2000. 
Review the below and discuss with your groupmates the notion of language learning and learner motivation. Specifically: what kind of learner motivation would you expect that outcomes such as these would address? ]]> 2021-02-21 21:41:55 UTC https://padlet.com/nishapanchaln/hqdvter6o4ssxt9z/wish/1224208976 Group 4: Critical Classroom - Spot The Rat! kathylewis1 https://padlet.com/nishapanchaln/hqdvter6o4ssxt9z/wish/1229452797 The Situation:  In a grade 12U biology class, while reading and working through a chapter from our textbook on homeostasis and the endocrine system, the students and the teacher came across a problematic passage.  The passage discusses a noted epidemic of Type 2 diabetes amongst Indigenous people to this land.

Action: Students and teacher embarked on a mission to “spot the rat” or in other words - detect omissions, deletions, errors and missing perspectives that maintained a (not so) quiet negative, stereotyped view of Indigenous peoples in Canada.

  Critical Discussion Questions
  • What explanation was given for the Diabetes crisis within Indigenous communities?
  • Which point of view does this analysis come from?
  • What point of view is not heard/represented?
  • What information was left out of this explanation?
  • What biases can you detect in this passage?
  • What stereotypes are reinforced in this article?
