ACTIONAL AND SOCIOCULTURAL COMPETENCE in CELCE, DORNYEI, AND THURREL MODEL OF 1995
Why is such aspect of the theory most meaning to you? Why?
Your reflection piece should begin with a summary of the theory or aspect of the theory you will focus on (you should consult with other sources for support). In the rest of the reflection piece, you will develop a discussion on why this
particular aspect of a theory is meaningful to you. In doing so, you may wish to reflect on any or all of the following:
• what is it about this theory (or aspect of the theory) that “speaks to me”
• how it relates to your own prior learning experiences
• implications for the theory on how you might teach and assess your students
**For the reflection part if you can include the ACTIONAL AND sociocultural aspect into an experience which
involves Adult learners of English as second language (ESL). IE: teaching foreigners such as Chinese or Korean English and how the sociultural competence aspect fits into it.
