BLENDING DIFFERENT METHODOLOGIES IN THE ACTION-ORIENTED APPROACH

Ismail Ipek, Ahmet Acar

Abstract


The goal of training social actors in language teaching set by CEFR (CoE, 2001) (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) has shifted the ultimate goal of language teaching from training successful communicators to training social actors who have the ability to carry out social actions in and/or outside the classroom, which gave rise to a new approach called the action-oriented approach (AoA) in language teaching. One of the unique characteristics of the AoA is that it combines or blends the previous methodological matrices in coherence and synergy. While there are different definitions of blended learning in the literature, this article focuses on one version of blended learning, which is combining or blending different methodologies within the framework of the action-oriented approach (AoA).
