If you use vocabulary and grammar tests, you don't teach communicatively. Audrey Rousse-Malpat tells us why.
Audrey Rousse-Malpat is an assistant professor in second language acquisition at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. She is also an entrepreneur and leads a teacher training company called Project Frans specializing in usage-based pedagogies for French as second language. She hosts the "Je suis #profdeFLE" ("I am a French language teacher") podcast.
Her research focuses on the AIM method: the Accelerative Integrated Method. In our conversation, she argues why it's a method education should adopt.
In our conversation, Audrey talks about:
- thinking like a scientist
- schools as factories
- AIM (Accelerative Integrated Method) and how it works
- feeling like the Marry Poppins of error correction
- structure-based teaching vs Dynamic usage
- why teachers need to relinquish control
- what went wrong with the communicative approach
- tips for implementing AIM
- multilingual approaches in higher education
