Description
Authenticity in language learning has traditionally been defined as the extent to which tasks, materials, and interactions replicate real-world language use in social, professional, and academic contexts. However, this perspective restricts authenticity to instrumental use, overlooking how learners engage in tasks through their emotional and imaginative interiorities. In the Japanese context, where opportunities for real-world application of English are often limited, a reimagining of authenticity is necessary.Drawing on Mishra and Koehler's (2006) TPACK framework, the presenter demonstrated how tools such as Genially, H5P, LearningApps and Articulate Storyline can be leveraged to create tasks that balance learners' practical needs with their creative and emotional landscapes. Through examples such as contextually relevant escape rooms for beginners and storytelling projects for more advanced learners, this workshop explores how task authenticity can emerge not only through external realities, but also through internal dimensions.
