Readings and Materials Required

Building on concepts covered in English Language Teaching 1 (ELT I), you will develop a practical understanding of both the “art ” of teaching (i.e. the instructional practice, including, scaffolding techniques, feedback, and error correction) and the “science ” of teaching (i.e. instructional planning, including unit planning, lesson design, and materials development) within the context of communicative language teaching. In addition to developing instructional syllabi and lesson plans for communicative language teaching, you will conduct focused observations of English language classes and will teach or tutor an English language learner as a means of applying specific techniques in a teaching context. Pair and group assignments will provide you with additional opportunities to learn by doing, all with the objective of preparing you to teach language artfully and skillfully in a communicative classroom
