Introduction
Carrot House Methodology
Andragogical Approach & Productive English
The teaching of children (pedagogy) and adult learning (andragogy) are distinctively
different. Pedagogy is akin to training and encourages convergent thinking and rote
learning. It is compulsory, centered on the teacher and the imparting of information with
minimal control by the learner. Andragogy, by contrast, is about education as freedom. It
encourages divergent thinking and active learning. It is voluntary, learner oriented, and
opens up vistas for continuing learning. Adults need to feel independent and in control of
their learning. Therefore, Carrot House curriculum is based on andragogy and is designed
to encourage learners’ participation and engagement by providing more task-based
activities and opportunities to frequently interact in the classroom.
People want to achieve communicative competence when they learn other languages.
English education in EFL environments has been rather focused on the receptive skills
of English—listening and reading—which simply increases learners’ knowledge about
a language, not the competence of using it. If people are well equipped with productive
skills—speaking and writing—they will be competent in English communication.
This is why Carrot House curriculum is designed to enhance learners’ productive skills
throughout the course. This andragogical approach of the Carrot House Curriculum,
which focuses on productive English, will enable learners to achieve communication skills
necessary for global competence. Carrot House’s teaching philosophy and curriculum
combine to provide a “Language for Success” for all learners
To this end, the Communicative Language Learning (CLL) method is employed in the
field of Foreign Language Acquisition. The CLL method provides activities that are geared
toward using language pragmatically, authentically and functionally with the intention of
achieving meaningful purposes.
