This course seeks to develop professional language and academic skills in English. Specific aims: - to develop insight into awareness of language form and function in classroom and learner discourse; - to provide realistic, professional tasks that enable teachers to apply their knowledge and skills in an authentic context (e.g. by designing materials that can be used for teaching). - to enable teachers to develop their ability to evaluate their students' and their own language skills for continuing development. - to develop language awareness by responding to and analysing representational texts. - to develop language awareness and cultural awareness by responding to and analysing texts written in English by writers from diverse contexts.
- Language Knowledge and Awareness. - Professional Development. - Planning and Management of Teaching and Learning material. - "New Writing" in English (contemporary texts from diverse cultures). - Rock lyrics as representational texts to encourage response.
Each three-hour session is self-contained and includes a variety of tasks which aim at developing a number of skills and strategies that will allow them to develop competence in reading, listening, speaking and writting in English; to identify and correct errors in learners´written work and provide suitable feedback and to develop language awareness as well as to reflect on their own culture as compared to the culture of the other. Teachers will have the opportunity of compiling a portfolio with the outcomes of the tasks which could eventually be submitted towards the Modular Option of ICELT (http://www.cambridgeesol.org/teaching/icelt/index.cfm)
