Abstract
Can Joseph Beuys’ belief that everybody is able to see, feel, suffer and, therefore, to create be used in the area of language teaching and learning? The main aim of this presentation is to share experience with fostering students’ autonomy by letting them to overtake one of the roles traditionally associated with teachers – material design. The various types of possible sources and study materials will be discussed with regard to their authenticity, personal relevance, aesthetic value and creative or communicative potential. Furthermore, it will be explained that even if there are many benefits to including students in choosing, adapting or creating their study materials, the teacher’s role in the process remains significant. To be able to make decisions about their learning, students need to be introduced to self-reflection and their metacognitive skills may need to be developed. The presentation will suggest that when teachers include reflective activities and skills development into language classes, everybody (both students and teachers) is able to create study materials in an individualized and autonomous way.
