Abstract
This reflection paper explores the necessity of creating a link between the classroom and self-access center (‘Mediateca’) activities based around a gradual process of developing self-regulation. The context is a secondary and high school which is part of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). One of the main goals of the Mediateca at UNAM is to create a language learning space and this is difficult to achieve if the center is used by students who have a misconception of it as a cybercafé. A change of perspective can be made by connecting classroom activities to the sessions students spend at the self-access center with the objective of raising their learning awareness.
Highlights
Context Self-access centers (SACs) at secondary and high schools are a fairly recent academic project at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and were launched by the main University office “Rectoría”
The project was established in all nine UNAM high school buildings across Mexico City with the intention of providing students in middle public education opportunities to succeed at language studies
The languages offered at the secondary section are French and English, both of them connected with the school programs
Summary
Context Self-access centers (SACs) at secondary and high schools are a fairly recent academic project at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and were launched by the main University office “Rectoría”. The basis of the project for high schools, from the University perspective, shows a strong intended connection between the classroom, the school program and Mediatecas so as to achieve proficient language skills.
