Tesol Methodology (ED0329)

? Credit Points : 15 ? SCQF Level : 11 ? Acronym : EDU-P-ED0329

Experienced teachers already have considerable knowledge and experience in the area of TESOL methodology. This module gives teachers an opportunity to articulate their knowledge, update it from a study of current literature, consider how practice derives from principle and reflect on the development of good practice appropriate to their own classroom contexts. The module has been organised in a way which recognises that language teaching is concerned with the development in learners of a knowledge of the language system and of the application of this knowledge through language skills. Accordingly, it is presented in three sections: Teaching the language system: grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation - Developing the language skills: receptive skills - Developing language skills: productive skills
