Action-oriented Approach Extended Exploration Infosheets

In this section, you will find extended exploration infosheets on the Action-oriented Approach (AoA) offering rich, in-depth content. They are designed for language educators who want to engage deeply with the theoretical principles for developing action-oriented scenarios and practical guidelines for their design and adaptation. They focus on critical engagement with research, theory, and practice, encouraging educators to question, analyze, and connect ideas.

The infosheets take 30 minutes or more to work through and include resources and reflective questions to support the implementation and adaptation of AoA scenarios in diverse learning contexts.
