B-SLIM

Bilash's Success-Guided Language Instructional Model 
    We talk so much about self directed learning and have structured policies and proposed practices around the assumption that all learners are equally self-directed. However, practitioners know that not all learners are equally self-directed. In fact, teachers also know from experience that some learners need to be taught to be self-directed. By being based on students’ ‘feelings of success’ in learning a second language (SL), B-SLIM (Bilash's Success-guided Language Instruction Model) incorporates enough scaffolding (structure and support) at each phase of a lesson or series of lessons for learners who are less self sufficient to succeed while simultaneously providing opportunities and direction for the more self-directed student to push forward. For example, while a less self-directed student might need to follow a template several times before really ‘getting’ the structure of a form such as a brief event review (in order to be able to create one on his/her own as an OUTPUT or 'proving it' assignment), a more self-directed learner may only need to hear or see the model once and be able to replicate and creatively alter it!


What are the goals of the B-SLIM model?

       -to develop self directed learners, especially in second languages
      -to ensure that every learner succeeds at each phase of the learning process by maximizing exposure to concepts through all learning styles/intelligences and encouraging intellectual/thinking growth in systematically developed steps
     -to help students develop all aspects of language by applying research findings from all areas of second language learning and acquisition (language awareness, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, situations- fluency-accuracy, culture and Culture, learning strategies, listening comprehension, speaking, writing, reading, forms, skills, content, motivation-attitude
    -to ensure that learners can transfer what they have learned in one familiar context to new contexts
    -to learn language and to learn through language.to identify success in learning in concrete provable terms (assessment for learning and assessment of learning).
