From Local to Global:An Instructional Design for Xizang University Students Based on CLT and Output Hypothesis

Baoli Qi

Abstract


This paper presents an instructional design for Xizang University students, integrating Communicative Language Teaching (CLT)
and Swain's Output Hypothesis. The 45-minute lesson, themed From Local to Global, connects English learning with cultural expression, us
ing tasks that promote communicative competence and intercultural communication. It emphasizes output-oriented pedagogy, reflective revi
sion through AI-assisted feedback, and an integrated skills approach. Despite challenges like limited class time and proficiency differences,
the design offers a framework for improving language learning and cultural expression. The study highlights the role of culturally grounded
tasks and digital support in enhancing language education in minority contexts.
