The Action-oriented Approach: A Dynamic Vision of Language Education 

 Enrica Piccardo, Brian North (2019) 

This book presents the background to the current shift in language education towards action-oriented/action-based teaching… It discusses the concepts and theories that paved the way for the AoA and explores their relevance for the way language education is conceived and implemented in the classroom.  In the process, it revisits the concept of competence and discusses the dynamic notions of  mediation and plurilingualism… The book provides scholars and practitioners with a research-informed description of the AoA, explains its implications for curriculum planning, teaching and assessment, and elaborates on its pedagogical implications.
