Professional Practice (ELTSM) (ET 964)
This module is designed to develop and build on the Term 1 module ELT Methodology (ET902) and the Term 2 module Syllabus, Materials, and Task Design (ET994). Its aim is to develop in students a critically reflective view of practice in English language teaching, drawing on observation and analysis of practice, as well as prior research findings. Topics and issues dealt with will relate to: classroom observation and analysis of classroom interaction; teacher skills and strategies; the teaching of grammar and lexis; the development of language skills; and the nature of teacher-initiated research. Substantial attention will also be given to classroom events and the module will make extensive use of practical activities of many kinds.
