Course Description

This two-part course focuses on the practice and experience of language teaching. The first part is a 'hands-on' teaching component designed to provide an opportunity for learner teachers to put into practice the understanding and skills they have acquired from PCE 511. Learner teachers will work collaboratively in small groups to design and teach a unit of work comprising six different but integrated lessons to secondary school students. The second part of the course is a sharing and reflection component aimed at providing a forum for learner teachers to reflect on and share their teaching experiences gained during Language Teaching Experience. A key feature of this course is therefore the cultivation of learner teachers' ability to reflect on their language teaching practices, to help them make stronger links between theory and practice in language teaching.
