Experiential learning requires learners to learn through experience. This learning process contains three components: action, reflection, and modification; learners would first learn a subject by practicing it, afterward, learners would modify and improve their future actions through reflections. This teaching approach is characterized by its active learning nature, unlike reading, listening, and other passive learning approaches, experiential learning is often intentional.
My group decided to offer a beginner French class in English. Experiential learning aligns with our topic and it plays an essential part in our curriculum. Language learning requires both passive and active learning; while reading and listening are important passive skills to have, communications cannot take place without writing and speaking. Taking the example of learning the pronunciation, this learning process is potentially experiential learning; learners would first attempt to pronounce a word, then learners will improve their pronunciation through experience, namely listening to ours or correcting their pronunciation. Therefore I would conclude that experiential learning is vital in language learning because the mean of a language is to communicate and the process of communication itself is an experiential learning behavior by its mean.
