The Six Minds for Whole Learner Development (95180)
Session Chair: Nancy Ann Gonzales
Friday, 3 October 2025 11:50
Session: Session 2
Room: (B1) Sants
Presentation Type:Oral Presentation
This presentation will discuss methods of designing and executing college-level English courses in reflection of Howard Gardner's (2009) five minds framework in preparing learners to become self-disciplined learners, "good workers and good citizens of a complex, ever-changing society". Specifically, students’ five minds are expected to be exponentially developed through exposure to the authentic English language learning environments, in- and out-of-class practices that help internalize knowledge and skills, and transfer of learning across contexts. By taking the English courses in ESL/EFL/EAP settings, students also gradually adopt a "resilient mindset" which is considered to be the 6th dimension of whole learner development.
