Are you a 21st century learner/teacher?

Hi everyone! I’m going to talk about the major points and key words of 21^st century learning. Learning and teaching must take shape according to the needs of our time. So, language classes must change and prepare students as 21^st century students.

Let’s talk about 4Cs for 21^st century learning: Critical thinking, Communication, Collaboration and Creativity. These 4 skills are the most important skills for  students in 21^st century. Each of these skills help students succeed in work and life. Critical thinking includes abilities to analyze, evaluate and  interpret. Communication refers to expressing feeling and sharing ideas with people. It also requires the ability to use language efficently. Collaboration includes working with others to achieve a goal as a group. Creativity refers to brainstorming and improving ideas. However, the most crucial part is to remember these 4Cs during our learning and teaching.

Today, the aim of the teaching is that students learn to use the language by integrating technology into instruction to enhance learning. Moreover, today’s learners are ‘‘doers’’. They create their works, share their ideas and communicate with people who are all around the world.

So, do you have skills that every 21^st century learner/teacher must have?

Love, Rana.
