Methodology and Language Teaching

EDPJ5013

This core unit provides an introduction to language teaching methodology. It covers both theoretical and practical issues, but has a particularly practical focus. The unit will focus on key aspects of classroom practice and students will have the opportunity to practice these and to reflect on their own classroom practice. Students will learn about different approaches to language teaching, and in particular about the components of communicative language teaching (CLT), the currently dominant approach. However, students will be encouraged to think critically and creatively about which aspect of CLT might or might note be appropriate to apply to their teaching contexts.
