This guide presents an integrated overview of how approaches such as action-oriented pedagogy, backwards design, experiential learning, and competency-based evaluation can work together within a coherent learning scenario. It explores how meaningful action, reflection, and reinvestment can support language development over time.

Explains the three key curricular layers in CEGEP ESL.

This guide explores the idea of learners as social actors who use language to accomplish purposeful tasks. It examines how meaningful tasks and authentic contexts can help organize learning and create opportunities for communication with a clear purpose.

This guide focuses on pedagogical alignment as one possible way to support coherence. By beginning with competencies and considering the desired evidence of learning, it illustrates how teachers can design tasks, activities, and evaluation practices that work toward shared objectives.

Before designing evaluation tools or planning assessments, this guide introduces key principles to support coherent and fair evaluation practices.

This guide provides a framework for integrating artificial intelligence into language teaching in ways that remain aligned with the competencies of the devis. It emphasizes critical use, transparency, and the development of self-regulated learning strategies.

Before developing plans cadres, this guide introduces two key principles: Pedagogical alignment and Backward design. Together, these principles help create courses where every task clearly supports the development of targeted competencies.

This guide examines how learning can develop through cycles of action, reflection, regulation, and reinvestment. It emphasizes the role of experience in language learning while recognizing that reflection and reapplication help transform experience into lasting development.

This guide defines oral interaction as a dynamic, reciprocal process where students must both understand and respond in real time.

This guide reframes writing as a process rather than a final product.

This guide explains that reinvestment involves using understanding from a source text to create something new. It is not about repeating information, but about transforming it.

This guide explains why autonomy is central to the new curriculum and how it can be developed over time. It emphasizes that autonomy is not something students either “have” or “don’t have,” but something that can be taught through intentional practice.

This guide focuses on making learning visible. It explains that effective learners use strategies and that these must be taught explicitly.

This guide introduces the concept of visible progression, which focuses on tracking how students improve over time rather than evaluating a single moment.

This guide explores how grammar can be taught as a resource for communication rather than as a set of isolated rules. It helps teachers integrate grammar into meaningful tasks by showing how to move from awareness to practice to application, while emphasizing progression, selective feedback, and the transfer of learning across contexts.

This guide explores how intercultural competence can be developed in language classrooms. It helps teachers move beyond vague notions of “being open” by clarifying what openness looks like in action.
