BRIEF COURSE DESCRIPTION

ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE TEACHING TECHNIQUES

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 English language learning, linking established knowledge to your experience and your local realities. It exposes you to language teaching and learning theories, classroom procedures & strategies, classroom management, English language assessment 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 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.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

WORLD MASTERPIECES

This course aims at examining why some artistic productions are called World Masterpieces or classics. A selection of these works is drawn from ancient Greek, Roman, modern and contemporary British, American and African Literatures. The course equally focuses on periodization in order to highlight the variety of works and ideologies that came along with a period and how such varieties continue to serve as a perfect snapshot of the sociopolitical and cultural milieus that led to their production....The study of texts in the course will therefore guide students to understand the provenance and aesthetics of the different forms which serve as background to modern, postmodern and postcolonial literature. It is hoped that students will learn specific critical skills that will help them understand the cosmological worlds which characterize masterpieces and how other works connect/or are influenced by the these classics the world over.
