They see this as a passport to many benefits \u2013 education, better work opportunities, better lifestyles.<\/p>\n<p>They usually signal clearly when they do not perceive what they are learning as relevant.\u00a0 This might not be through direct feedback \u2013 indeed, in many cultures there is a reluctance to give such feedback due to unwillingness to criticise the teacher authority figure \u2013 but we as teachers usually know when we do and when we do not have the attention even the most overtly respectful learners.<\/p>\n<p>So how do we deal with \u201crelevance\u201d.\u00a0 Certainly, to help them function effectively in the community. But what of other aspects? Is it giving the learner a grounding in taboo words (October 2010)?\u00a0 Is it introducing them to topics that might to them seem a wee bit abstract?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Some of the main points:<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The concept of relev<\/span>ance has several meanings to #ELTchat participants:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>As things that help the learner in his\/her immediate environment<\/li>\n<li>as things that will be of use in the future.<\/li>\n<li>as being linked to the formal learning outcomes \/ curriculum objectives of the learning group.<\/li>\n<li>whether there is an examination at the end of the learning period; although this concept provoked some varying and dissenting discussion amongst participants.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So in some earning environments there are elements of negotiation between learning group and teacher; with the teacher asking the group what the group would like to do to achieve the stated objectives of the course, and the teacher then providing the wherewithal to reach this goal \/ these goals via those steps chosen by the learning group.<\/p>\n<p>The idea of coursebooks took up much discussion.\u00a0 Some #ELTchat participants loathe them; some grudgingly accept them, albeit in heavily modified activity form. Some involve learners in coursebook selection as part of the negotiation mentioned in the previous point.<\/p>\n<p>There is a recognition that coursebooks do assist in the \u201ctime-poor\u201d work lives of many colleagues. However, some feel at the least unhappy about using coursebooks (rather than having to develop independent resources from the ground up). One participant likened coursebooks to fast food (see tweets below).<\/p>\n<p>Needs analysis was also discussed \u2013 as an exercise undertaken at the start of a learning period (and indeed before, as prospective students are interviewed), and as an ongoing process affecting where the learning group goes in its time together.<\/p>\n<p>There is also the question of \u201cunpopular\u201d topics that might nonetheless be useful knowledge \/ information for a learner \u2013 especially with young learners \/ high school students who might perceive a particular lesson as irrelevant when it is dealing in something useful. (We have this debate from time to time in Australia, not in the ESL field, but in the area of \u201ccivics\u201d \u2013 how government works, the republic v constitutional monarchy debate, and so on.)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>A selection of comments:<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With such a vibrant discussion, it&#8217;s almost impossible to do it justice in a summary, but I&#8217;ve picked out some of the comments that caught my eye.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/englishraven\"><strong>englishraven<\/strong><\/a><\/span><strong>: <\/strong>@<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/barbsaka\">barbsaka<\/a> Yes, relevance in terms of content, skills, goals, learning styles, etc&#8230; #<a href=\"http:\/\/wthashtag.com\/ELTChat\">ELTChat<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/yearinthelifeof\"><strong>yearinthelifeof<\/strong><\/a><\/span><strong>: <\/strong>@<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/barbsaka\">barbsaka<\/a> When suggesting this topic I was thinking in terms of &#8216;relevant to future needs #<a href=\"http:\/\/wthashtag.com\/ELTchat\">ELTchat<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/JoshSRound\"><strong>JoshSRound<\/strong><\/a><\/span><strong>: <\/strong>@<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/barbsaka\">barbsaka<\/a>: I guess my first question is what do you mean by &#8220;relevant&#8221;? &gt; what will help ss to use Eng effectively in own lives #<a href=\"http:\/\/wthashtag.com\/eltchat\">eltchat<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/edumazing\"><strong>edumazing<\/strong><\/a><\/span><strong>: <\/strong>We need to ensure relevance to current needs before applying it to future needs #<a href=\"http:\/\/wthashtag.com\/eltchat\">eltchat<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/barbsaka\"><strong>barbsaka<\/strong><\/a><\/span><strong>: <\/strong>That&#8217;s another one&#8211;revelant to the assigned course goals (like not getting off track).
