The course is based on a series of teacher training modules which aim to
develop practical skills in teaching English as a foreign language. The
training sessions will involve demonstrations, discussions and
pair/group work. We will focus on the following areas of methodology:
planning a lesson, teaching aims/goals, presenting and practising
vocabulary/grammar structures, using a reading text,
reading/writing/listening activities, asking questions, giving
instructions and communicative activities etc. A series of articles
offering theoretical and practical background knowledge will be
presented and discussed in small groups on a weekly basis (continuous
assessment). There will also be a written end-of-term test (PO2011).
