LEVEL FOUR

A good number of you (student teachers) taking this course have not had any formal knowledge in ELT. The course introduces you to the narrow ELT scope and the broad English language education dimension to enable you to formulate personal convictions about teaching English to speakers of other languages, linking current literature to your experience and your local realities. It exposes you to language teaching and learning theories, classroom procedures & strategies, classroom management, English language assessment and creates opportunities for you to link these with contextual realities. You will develop knowledge on techniques/strategies of teaching English in both normal and challenging classroom situations and evaluate when and what (not) to teach different aspects of language. You will read texts, watch videos, observe normal English language classroom, analyse, reflect, and share knowledge on these and received feedback from me and your peers. We will have over 75% of activities for this course online and 25% in class.
