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.

QUIZ ONE – INTRODUCTION TO LANGUAGE TEACHING

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.

The “Designer” Approaches of the 1970s and Beyond
The Postmethods Era
New Ideas in Language Education
The Psychological Learning Environment

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.

This is a really great course for all levels in financial analysis. Wither you're beginner or expert, you'll find new things to learn here. Starting from Excel to Accounting to financial statements analysis and concluding with PowerPoint to present your work. Above all that, I'm really getting real world experience and not just text book materials.
