Abstract

In this paper, I discuss a small-scale case study that explores the important role teachers play in promoting out-of-class learning among their students. Data come from in-depth interviews with three of the teachers who delivered a Spanish for specific purposes blended course. I explored the different ways in which these teachers went about encouraging students to engage with the online segment of the course. The study is mainly informed by the notion of affordances (Cotterall, 2017; Murray, 2017; van Lier, 2004) and the growing body of literature on learning beyond the classroom (LBC) (Benson, 2011; Reinders & Benson, 2017; Reinders, 2020) where teachers play a pivotal role in promoting out-of-class learning. The main takeaway from this study is that for teachers to promote out-of-class learning, they should first identify the learning possibilities available in whatever materials students are to use outside of the classroom. In the case of this study, teachers had to promote the use of the learning platform that students were supposed to engage with as part of their out-of-class learning segment of the course. However, I found that only one teacher fully promoted out-of-class learning simply because she saw value in the platform and was able to help students see such value as well. The opposite was also true; the other two teachers did not seem to see much value in the platform and as a result, they were not entirely successful in promoting out-of-class learning among their students.
教师在促进课外学习中的角色:来自特殊用途西班牙语课程的经验
在本文中,我讨论了一个小规模的案例研究,探讨了教师在促进学生课外学习方面发挥的重要作用。数据来自对三位教授特殊目的西班牙语混合课程的教师的深度访谈。我探索了这些老师鼓励学生参与在线课程的不同方式。这项研究主要是通过启示的概念(Cotterall, 2017;穆雷,2017;van Lier, 2004)以及越来越多关于课堂外学习(LBC)的文献(Benson, 2011;Reinders & Benson, 2017;Reinders, 2020),其中教师在促进课外学习方面发挥着关键作用。这项研究的主要结论是,对于教师来说,要促进课外学习,他们首先应该确定学生在课堂外使用的任何材料中可用的学习可能性。在这项研究的情况下,教师必须促进使用学习平台,学生应该参与作为他们的课程的课外学习部分的一部分。然而,我发现只有一位老师完全推动了课外学习,因为她看到了平台的价值,并且能够帮助学生看到这种价值。反之亦然;另外两位老师似乎没有看到这个平台的多大价值,因此,他们在促进学生的课外学习方面并没有完全成功。
