Lackman Ken. CAT: A Framework for Dogme

Ken Lackman & Associates, 2018.Dogme became associated with English Language Teaching in 2000 when writer Scott Thornbury adapted the philosophy of the film movement to English Language teaching. He presented his ideas in an article entitled “A Dogma for EFL” and a global discussion began about the approach and its principles. In the same way that the film movement reacted to the excesses of modern filmmaking, ELT Dogme reacted to what was seen as excesses in the classroom. Technology has certainly played a large role in transforming films as well as English language teaching but there are other aspects of teaching that Thornbury reacted to.
