Course objectives
This course is taught concurrently with UZAJ5054 ELT Methodology II, both of them building on UZAJ5033 ELT Methodology I. Methodology III deals with broader issues in language teaching. While the trainees are doing Methodology II and III, they are undertaking the course UZAJ5047 - Practice teaching.
The aim of Methodology III is to develop teachers' thinking about aspects of the profession beyond specific lessons. It is important that teachers develop a critical understanding long term and global matters in order to contextualise their work.
