Contextualization and Localization: Guiding Principles

GUIDING PRINCIPLES • Localization maximizes materials that are locally available

Contextualizing and Localizing Materials Sample Activity EXAMPLE: Lesson 1 (LM) Page 440 Task 7 can be CONTEXTUALIZED AND LOCALIZED in terms of Materials by using a video, other photos, a situation, caricature, a comic strip instead of the photos above. Make sure that replacements are of the same theme.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES • To contextualize, teachers use authentic materials, activities, interests, issues, and needs from learners’ lives • Should create rooms for students to pose problems and issues and develop strategies together for addressing them

Contextualizing and Localizing Task’s Content EXAMPLE: Lesson 1 (LM) Page 439 Sample Activity Task 2 can be CONTEXTUALIZED in terms of CONTENT by using other song that is more current and with the same meaning. Do you know one?

Contextualizing and Localizing Issues Issue Sample Activity EXAMPLE: Lesson 1 (LM) Page 262 Task 2 can be CONTEXTUALIZED AND LOCALIZED by using another social issue relevant to the Lesson Sub theme: “HOLDING ON TO A DREAM IN A CHANGING WORLD”. Can you suggest an example?

Contextualizing and Localizing Transfer of Learning Processes Sample Activity G – OAL (standard) R – OLE (can be contextualized/localized) A – UDIENCE (can be contextualized/localized) S – ITUATION (can be contextualized/localized) P – PRODUCTS/PERFORMANCES (standard) S – STANDARDS FOR GRADING (authentic) GRASPS is one good way to contextualize and localize situations and interests.

POINTS TO PONDER • The localized or contextualized curriculum is based on local needs and relevance for the learners where there is flexibility and creativity in the lessons.

GETTING READY! • Tailor-fit the lesson • Build on what they already have • Accommodate and respect cultural, linguistic, and racial diversity
