Dogme

I mentioned this to some of you today. Dogme is the pedagogy that believes in the teaching of languge without coursebooks, relying on interaction and 'exploiting the learning opportunities offered by the raw material of the classroom, that is the language that emerges from the needs, interests, concerns and desires of the people in the room.'

This is their website, got some interesting articles too.
