href=\"https:\/\/kuis.kandagaigo.ac.jp\/rilae\/education\/courses\/\">online Advising Certificate Program<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> offered by RILAE which consists of five courses. In Course 1 (Getting Started), we covered the origins of learner autonomy and introduced the definitions of advising in language learning (ALL) and its theoretical underpinnings. The participants learned the concept of transformational advising (Kato &amp; Mynard, 2016) where an advisor supports a learner in going beyond improving language proficiency in order to make a fundamental change in the nature of learning. The instructors introduced 12 basic advising strategies and 6 techniques to promote reflective dialogue with hands-on online activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Course 2, we focussed on supporting learners to broaden their perspectives by guiding them to reflect deeply. We paid increasing attention to structuring the intentional reflective dialogue (IRD) in order to guide learners into a deeper level of awareness, and at the same time, guiding course participants to develop further as professional advisors. We also developed an awareness of emotion in learning and in advising sessions, and got started with case study research.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Course 3, we explore the meaning of &#8220;becoming aware&#8221; by considering when and how to give input to learners and the degree of directiveness we might adopt, how we induce and support aha moments, draw on creativity, and consider critical moments in advising sessions. In addition, we introduce ethnography as a research approach for understanding learners&#8217; experiences<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Course objectives<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>At the end of course 3, students should be able to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">apply familiar strategies to more complex cases.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">acquire advanced strategies.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">induce turning points in learning.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">notice critical moments in advising sessions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">conduct ethnographic research in order to help learners to translate their awareness into action.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Course structure<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This course consists of three hours of online live, real-time lectures per week (for the first three weeks) and some recorded lectures.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students are asked to watch Video 1, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Introduction to the course<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (recorded lecture), before attending the first online class and read some introductory texts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The online live lectures are designed to be interactive and intentionally facilitate different kinds of interactions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Participants are expected to view recorded lectures and read some materials each week as part of the course requirements.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students are also required to participate in online text discussions via Padlet in order to discuss ideas related to the issues raised in the class and in the recorded\/written materials.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Practice and reflection activities will also form part of the weekly assignments.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Draft Schedule (subject to change)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><b>Pre-course assignment<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Re-read your assignment from Course 2:<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Were there any aha moments for the learner?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Were there any aha moments for the advisor?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is there anything you would have done differently?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What advice would you like from others?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Watch the <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/DZcRLmuQfag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">introduction video<\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(9 minutes)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1v0002X6Z5f8Ax6HNxWsIBNjyf7neL77HVlTZYxtK-Vk\/edit?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transcript and notes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">]<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Post a response to the introductory online discussion question<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Week 1:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Live class: 14:00 to 16:00 Tokyo time (2 hours).
