Course objectives
This optional course is recommended to students with little or no teaching experience. The course provides a controlled environment to learn and practise classroom procedures which are expected in the Internal Practice Teaching that takes place in semester 3 of the MA program.
Syllabus
  • The areas covered on the course are teaching language systems (lexis, grammar, discourse, phonology and spelling) and language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing).
Assessment methods
The weekly meetings of students and their tutors vary in nature. In some sessions, trainees are discussing their findings from observations of experienced in-service teachers and planning their own lessons, which they then teach to their peers (in “microteaching”) in the following week.
The major part of the assessment is continuous and is based on planning lessons, microteaching and reflective observation records forming a portfolio. Another part of the assessment is a final discussion over the portfolio with the tutor.
Language of instruction
