Course Curriculum

Module 1: Introduction to Language Teaching
The goal of Module 1 is to familiarize you with the field of TEFL / EFL teaching. Teachers have their own personalities and ways they like to do things. The readings and tasks in this module will help you recognize how your experiences as a student relate to developing your own teaching style and classroom persona. You will understand the many roles that we play as teachers and take a look at the European Profiling Grid (EPG) to understand how it can be useful for your own professional development not only as a language teacher, but also in teacher training and management.

Module 2: Teaching Methodologies
English Language Teaching has undergone great changes since adopting the principles of the classical training in Greek and Latin. The major thrust of Module 2 is to familiarize you with the history of EFL teaching itself, its research and teaching strategies, and to consider how that relates to identifying and applying the best practices of ELT. There is a great deal of information presented in Module 2. However, the most important concept to glean from the module is that there is no universally appropriate method, no ‘cookbook’ that makes language learning happen. Each learner is different, with different backgrounds, as is each teacher. Every teacher has to know and under stand the needs of the students in order to make decisions on how lessons should be taught to enable learning in the most effective manner. Much of this comes from experience, but having an awareness of how English has been taught historically may give you some ideas about how you will teach English in the future. Finally, the module brings up the issue of the psychological environment (how students feel about learning) that teachers create in the classroom. How many classes have you taken that you felt intimidated in, merely by the attitude of the teacher? Or maybe you did not know the names of any of your classmates? The section on the Psychological Learning Environment discusses some of the ways that teachers build a community of learners in the classroom, and how this relates to greater learning for all students.

Module 3: RPRPRPR / PPP Method
Module 3 is designed to give you a general idea of the principles and components of teaching a language. Students come with needs and it is the teacher’s job to recognize what students need to learn and how best to teach it. We will look at the difference between language items and language skills, as we explore some possible ways to teach them. Perhaps you have heard that a large part of teaching is preparation. The fact is that teachers spend almost as much time planning lessons outside of the classroom as they do actually teaching inside the classroom. Lesson plans are extremely important. They are a road map that shows teachers where they are going, how they will get there, and where they expect to end up at the completion of a lesson. Effective lesson planning is a skill that just takes time and practice. We will look at the part of a lesson plan, or road map, that tells us how to get to the final destination. Since the real destination in broad terms is to get students to use English in real communication, this unit discusses some strategies for organizing the classroom that help EFL teachers to achieve that aim.

Module 4: In the Classroom
Now that we know how to prepare a quality lesson plan, it is time to enter the class room. Module 4 introduces the physical environment as well as strategies to deploy when delivering lessons.

Module 5: The Formal Lesson Plan
At this point you are familiar with the Repetition, Presentation, Repetition, Practice, Repetition, Production and Repetition (RPRPRPR) style of teaching English. However, there are also times when teachers need a very formal lesson plan for their administration or to share with other teachers. Module 5 will guide you through the process of developing formal lesson plans as you complete your final project for this course. Your final project will be a Thematic Unit for your classroom presented in the style of a formal lesson plan.

MODULE 6: Teaching Tools
Welcome to Module 6. This module discusses more about visuals as a means of providing context and opportunities for developing students’ skills in listening, speaking, reading, writing and grammar. You will also find out that just about anything that encourages communication in language teaching is fair game. That means teachers should include all kinds of resources for students. Even though there are many textbooks that cover all skill areas, there are also supplemental resource books, computer software programs, EFL Websites, and even great movies that may work well for the class that you teach. Finally, we will take a close look at assessments, both formal and informal, and what effective assessments might look like in your classroom. Even though assessment might sound complicated, it is really not. You have taken many of them yourself in your academic career. You are probably already a good judge of what is fair to students. Fairness in assessment is, in fact, what students most appreciate

MODULE 7: Productive Skills
You will find that a good deal of your students’ needs fall into the productive skill of speaking and responding. As a trained teacher, you have a great deal of responsibility in developing students’ speaking skills. PPP concerns getting students to focus on and practice specific language items, usu ally one at a time. In PPP the students’ attention is on the language items being used. This is unlike most real life situations, where the language user’s attention is on getting their ideas across. In other words, the focus is on meaning and communication, rather than on form. Students need to have some opportunities, in the supportive environ ment of the classroom, to try using language as it is used outside class, with the focus on communication. This will prepare them for speaking and writing, as they will need it in their language experiences with native speakers and other language users. However, before you learn about how to tackle pronunciation and intonation in the classroom, we need to talk about.

MODULE 8: Receptive Skills
Module 8 is dedicated to the receptive skill areas of listening and reading. Knowing a lot of language items does not automatically mean that you can read and listen effectively and efficiently. You still need to learn and practice a variety of specific skills and strategies, for example, how to infer the meaning of unknown words that you come across. In the traditional language classroom, very little time was spent on trying to develop the students’ receptive skills in their own right, at least until students reached B1 Level or higher. The texts used were often literary or very artificial and they were employed mainly for the testing of comprehension of specific words and structures or the consolidation of specific language items which had been previously presented. The modern approach to listening and reading is radically different in the following ways: • It recognizes that effective listening and reading depends upon the use of specific skills and strategies which need to be developed in their own right. • It recognizes that students need practice in developing these skills and strategies. • It is based largely on the way in which we approach listening and reading in our own L1 and uses the types of tasks which are typically encountered in real life outside of the classroom. The modern approach demands a more complex procedure, which usually involves a significant amount of class work. The focus is on understanding the important points or gist of a text rather than on understanding specific words or structures contained in it. The strategies and approaches to teaching listening closely parallel those of reading since they are both receptive skills, but there are some differences. First, we discuss receptive skill teaching strategies as a whole before concentrating individually on listening and reading lessons and activities.

MODULE 9: Vocabulary
There are many areas that students need to study if they want to become effective users of English. Of all of these areas, there is probably none more important than vocabulary. This is because words and phrases lie at the very heart of language. It is certainly difficult to use language effectively without a good grasp of grammar and of the four skills. However, it is impossible to use language at all without words. Students realize this and so they place great importance on a teacher’s ability to help them to learn vocabulary. From the teacher’s perspective, it is important to be able to provide lessons that clarify and practice new vocabulary items. It is also essential that the teacher is able to clarify effectively and economically any unknown words that students are confused by during lessons that focus on grammar or on the receptive and productive skills.

MODULE 10: English Grammar
A large part of ELT is still the teaching of grammar. Part of the complexity of English grammar arises from the history of the language itself. Languages are generally not static; they change over time, adding new words and expressions as well as spellings. For EFL teachers, a general understanding of why the language operates the way it does and the ongoing changes taking place is essential. Fortunately, grammar is rarely taught in isolation. It is usually taught in the context of the four skill areas of Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing. However, even in context, it still needs to be clearly explained and practiced by students, so they become more accurate users of English. In Module 10, we will explore grammar teaching, as well as your own knowledge of English grammar. As you assess your own grammar knowledge, you will have a better idea of what you may need to consider as you plan your lessons.

MODULE 11: Assessment
Assessment is a closely discussed topic in the ELT world and assessment literacy is gaining foreground in teacher training courses. In this module, we will look at various types of assessment, techniques used in class to assess progress, and the way interna t ional examining organizations create, assess, and validate their assessment tools.

MODULE 12: Developing as a Teacher
Finally, the best way to really learn to teach is to gain experience.
