Learning through Wonder: Imprinting Wonder in Language Learning for Lifelong Engagement
Plutino, Alessia
Research-publishing.net
When wondering, learners express the desire to know what they do not know, as well as what they already know. In the modern languages curriculum, a language learner who uses 'wonder' is driven by curiosity for the language(s); has questions about the place and the people; has a wish to know more about various cultures; and eventually become a lifelong linguist. Learning through wonder has been effectively used at primary school level in various subjects, but mainly in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, and this article illustrates how activities using this pedagogy can offer an opportunity in modern foreign languages. It describes a practical example of this type of outreach activity, and discusses the benefits as well as potential risks of its use in the language learning context.
