Reference Summaries
TOWARDS AN INTERACTIVE EFL CLASS:
USING ACTIVE LEARNING STRATEGIES
This journal article argues that using active learning strategies when learning a foreign
language is many times more effective than traditional learning such as lectures. When students
are more engaged they are better able to learn and apply the material because they are pushed
to analyze the information they learn and not just memorize it. The article provides a large table
with a variety of active learning strategies that teachers can use in the classroom to better
instruct students. From this we pulled some ideas for our lesson plan. Listed in the table as a
strategy is debate in which students explain their thoughts on a topic and compare them to the
thoughts of others. When using this strategy students must analyze the topic and provide
evidence to support their thoughts. When we ask the students to analyze the use of verb tenses
in small groups we hope to facilitate critical thinking as they explain their thoughts. This article
explained the importance of active learning and gave helpful examples and strategies to be
used to promote active learning in an English as a Foreign Language class.
