Language & Methodology. List of Modules
Language and methodology courses have been developed for practising teachers in a monolingual context with two main aims:
- To help teachers consolidate and improve their own knowledge and ability with English.
- To help teachers consolidate and improve their own knowledge and ability of teaching English
Consolidation and development of teachers’ level of English
The first session in a unit is dedicated to language consolidation and extension on the topic through the use of authentic materials as a context. These are taken from a wide variety of media to not only illustrate the use of language, but also be engaging in its own right. After consolidation with the language there is a focus on active practice of this.
Consolidation and development of teachers’ knowledge of methodology
The second session will focus on the methodology used in teaching the language focus from the first session of the unit. Course participants will examine the use of methods, terminology and the best way to put this into practice in a lesson. There will then be a hands-on practical task for course participants to actively take part in with a focus on use in their own classrooms.
