DEEP LANGUAGE

Using a deep approach to language learning implies a paradigmatic change in the way instructors teach. The new approach is transdisciplinary and transformative in contrast to transmissive education.

The deep approach is significantly related to an intention to understand deeply. It defines a situation in which the teacher is not the only source of inspiration and knowledge. The learners become curriculum builders.

The deep approach to language learning is project-based. Real-world themes, issues, problems and actions stimulate intrinsic motivation and create reflective situations in a way that respects the autonomy of the student and is conducive to proficiency.
