Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course explores the relevance of applied linguistics to language education. It will introduce
participants to principles, concepts and terminology which form the basis of EFL methodology.
We shall concentrate on a few central issues and use these to investigate ideas about language
learning and teaching. These will include: models of teacher education, language description for
pedagogy, second language learning, curriculum and syllabus design, individual learner
differences, education standards, classroom assessment, analysis and critique of communicative
language teaching and other approaches. The focus will not be on practising teaching skills but
on critical reflection.
Please note: There will be a reading list, regular assignments and a final written exam.
