The SOAS-UCL CETL in ‘Languages of the Wider World’ (LWW CETL) aims to promote excellence in the teaching and learning of languages that do not have a large presence in UK Higher Education but which are of increasing strategic importance, locally and globally. A key objective of the CETL is to support blended language learning.
We have recently introduced Flexi-Packs, an innovative package of e-learning and mobile learning materials, designed to boost learner empowerment and autonomy.
The paper will present the pedagogical rationale behind the Flexi-Packs and will focus on principles of material development with a view to maximise students’ learning experience. The paper will make reference to examples of CETL-produced materials.
