Agency

“Agency is a term borrowed from social sciences (see for example Taylor 1977, Frankfurt 1988, Belz 2002). Here it is appropriated to mean something similar to the agent of a passive sentence, that is, in the words of some grammarians, the person or thing 'that does'. A lot of the time, in some classes, students have things done to them and, as a result, risk being passive recipients of whatever is being handed down. J J Wilson suggests that wherever possible students should be allowed to make decisions. He wants to give students ownership of class materials, letting them write on the board or control the CD player, for example.

Teachers might allow students to tell us when and if they want to be corrected in a fluency activity rather than always deciding ourselves when correction is appropriate and when it is not. We might have students tell us what words they find difficult to pronounce rather than assuming they all have the same difficulties.”

(HARMER, Jeremy. The practice of English language teaching. London: Longman, 2006.)

According to the second paragraph, the author remember that:

• A. When students have agency, they get to make some of the decisions about what is going on, and, as a consequence, they take some responsibility for their learning.
• B. When students have agency, they must not get to make some of the decisions about what is going on, and, as a consequence, they take some responsibility for their learning.
• C. Teachers should get to make all the decisions, as student cannot take responsibility for their learning.
• D. Students are not prepared to have agency, as usual, they are not used to experiencing a different language.
