The main aim of this compulsory introductory course will be to give you a first
insight into some central theoretical and practical aspects of foreign language
learning and teaching. Furthermore, we will be analysing your present beliefs
about successful language teaching and possibly call some of them in question.
To achieve these aims we will follow a reflective model of training which involves
reading about and discussing some of the latest developments in teaching
English as a foreign language and considering new and alternative ways of
organising and stimulating classroom interaction. Active participation in the
sessions is expected and you are required to complete assignments punctually
and to the required standard. A final written test at the end of our class will also
be part of the requirements.
Required texts: A reader will be available at the beginning of the semester (in
GB5/33).
