An Action Research on Language Learning Counseling for refugees at the GLT Department of the University of Cologne

The paper is based on action research with the aim to improve the own practice and tests the language learning counseling in connection with a reading comprehension course for refugees. Here, language learning counseling is offered online in parallel with the course so that individual appointments can be scheduled entirely according to learners' time. The focus is on implementing learning diaries and consultation meetings for language counseling. In particular, the aim was to find out how to encourage learners to recognize their existing potential in order to achieve their learning goals and to learn autonomously. In this sense, learners design their learning process with the help of learning counseling, planning and reflecting on their own learning process. The concept proposed in this study could be a suggestion to offer language learning consultancy in language courses in order to promote autonomous learning.

本研究采用行动研究范式，以改进自身实践为目标，并针对面向难民的阅读理解课程开展语言学习辅导（language learning counseling）相关测试。该辅导服务与课程同步线上开展，学习者可完全根据自身时间预约个性化辅导时段。本研究的核心聚焦于语言辅导中学习日志与咨询会谈的落地实施。具体而言，本研究旨在探索如何引导学习者认清自身既有潜能，以达成学习目标并实现自主学习。就此而言，学习者可借助语言学习辅导，对自身学习过程进行规划与反思，自主设计学习路径。本研究提出的辅导模式，可为在语言课程中增设语言学习辅导服务以推动自主学习提供可行参考。
