Course Synopsis
This module builds on the module ELT Methodology, providing a firm foundation for future professional practice in the field of ELT/TESOL. The module is specifically designed for those with little or no substantial teaching experience, and includes a practical micro-teaching component. The module provides opportunities to explore and critically evaluate a range of approaches, concepts, theories, relevant research studies, and debates relating to syllabus, materials, and task design in ELT. The module aims to develop students’ abilities to evaluate, adapt and design syllabi, materials and tasks for use in their own teaching, to provide a forum for sharing students’ language teaching and learning experiences, and through this to develop students’ ability to explore appropriate solutions to professional issues.
