Challenge: Embodying IDC Theory
Interest-Driven Creator (IDC) Theory is being developed as a
group endeavor by Asian researchers to articulate a holistic
learning design theory for future education in Asia. The theory
hypothesizes that students, driven by interest, can be engaged in
the creation of knowledge (generating ideas and artifacts). By
repeating this creation process in their daily learning routines,
they will excel in learning performance, develop twenty-firstcentury
competencies, and form creation habits. We hope that
with such practices in education, our future generations will
ultimately become lifelong interest-driven creators. (see

For English language learning, our experimental school aims at
providing students a pleasant environment in which they can
enjoy learning and have plenty of time to read, to expand, and to
explore everything they are curious about from the books.
Through daily reading and book-related activities, they will build
up solid habit of English book reading as well as noble characters.
Your task is to create a supportive learning environment that will
help IDC students meet their learning goals. Through various
methods, you will teach them the important rules of reading,
speaking and writing in English. You will oversee their progress
by tracking their assignment and reading in order to provide useful
feedback.
