Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Learning about, reflecting on and trying out "new" approaches to language teaching and learning. Depending on students' interests, the following topics could be covered: CAL, multiple intelligences, learner autonomy, socio-cultural contexts, etc. etc. It's up to you and depends on the suggestions that are made during the webquest.

Assessment and permitted materials

Regular and active participation, peer teaching project in groups (and possibly a micro teaching project at a school/other educational establishment) with accompanying project report.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Our goal is to explore innovative approaches to language learning and teaching which could help learners and teachers respond to the challenges facing the Austrian educational system in the next 10 years or so. However, innovation for innovation's sake isn't sustainable so we'll start off by looking at what issues there are in the (language learning) classroom at present and what new methods and approaches could be applied to deal with them.

Examination topics

Introductory webquest. Peer teaching relating to issues of students' choice. Reflection on personal teaching/learning experiences, discussions of reading and evaluation of typical "activities" to do in class. There will be advance reading for some classes and follow-up reading for others.

The first few weeks of class will take place in the form of a webquest organized via MOODLE virtual attendance/participation is required but not during class times. Internet access (at home and/or university) is paramount. The first f2f session will be on Thursday 29th March.

Reading list

Materials will be provided in class (also by students) and made available on MOODLE.
