Characteristics

As learning is according to the connectivist principles based on creating connections among the nodes, in foreign language education it is important to decode, understand, and connect a new node with the old ones.

It is important for learners to be able to perceive a language not as a structure, but as a network of networks (the network of morphology connected with the networks of syntax, lexicology, and phonology together create a network connected with the network of semantics), and then to comprehend the connections among the nodes within these networks.

The Motivational Outcomes Of Connectivism Theory In EFL

Method provide unique opportunities for increasing the self-efficacy and task value of students by increasing social intractions and diversity for choosing tasks

This theory claims to have made new developments through the attention to the effects of the advent of the digital era, in the field of education and learning in general and teaching and learning of EFL in particular.

Connectivism is the thesis that knowledge is distributed across a network of connections, and therefore that learning consists of the ability to construct and traverse those networks.

Self-efficacy specifically refers to student’s beliefs about their ability to successfully complete academic

The results showed the connectivism instructional method was significantly more effective than communicative language teaching method

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of connectivism instructional method in comparison witH communicative language teaching method on academic self-efficacy and task value among students in EFL.
