What is your role as a teacher in CL? Which of the following statements are false?
13
1. You don’t need to be motivated to lead CL activities.
2. You have to provide the students with fun activities.
3. You need to be “authoritative” and manage the situation.
4. You don’t need to evaluate each student individually. You will only evaluate the final result of the group.
5. You don’t focus on “teaching”, but on “guiding” and “facilitating”.
6. You form groups randomly.
