ST-Foundations/TeachingEnglish

The course is designed to present an overview of the field of how additional languages, with an emphasis on English, are learned after a first language has already been acquired. In this course, core concepts of language learning will be explored along with a historical perspective of teaching approaches based on those core concepts. The development of learner language will also be examined from the perspective of the four modalities: reading, writing, listening, speaking, as will the influences of culture and individual differences on language learning.

ST-Practice/Teaching English

This course provides an introduction to practice of teaching English as an additional language. The focus throughout the course will be on how aspects of language teaching can be realized in practice, in a range of contexts or educational settings, and for learners of various proficiency levels and backgrounds. Students will gain experience creating lesson plans, classroom materials, and assessments. A significant component of the course consists of practicum-related tasks, such as classroom observations, teaching evaluations, tutoring and teaching demonstrations/practice.
