ENGL 572A -- Autumn Quarter 2018

Methods and Materials for Teaching English as a Second Language Sandhu MW 10:30-12:20 14462

This course is a combination of the theoretical and the practical. The goal is to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the historical developments in TESOL methodology from the current perspective of a ‘post-method’ era. Students will explore evolutions in the field by reading, analyzing, and discussing research related to second language teaching methods and materials development. They will organize and participate in workshops and a wide range of hands-on activities aimed at familiarizing them with diverse pedagogical approaches, teaching philosophies, instructional materials, and classroom techniques. The course will help learners enhance their professional skills, analyze learning situations, and increase their ability to promote second language learning. They will learn to develop and adapt instructional materials based on current research and on students’ needs, desires, learning processes, and institutional environments.
