LING332 TESOL Practicum

Semester 2

The knowledge acquired in LING231 (TESOL) is put into practice. Regular visits are made to a language school where students observe experienced teachers teaching international students at all levels, from beginners to advanced. All students have guided opportunities to teach English to international students and to observe other students teaching. Students are given feedback on their own teaching and opportunities are provided for weekly discussions and critical reflection on the lessons they observe, on their own teaching and the teaching of other students. Students build up portfolios of lesson plans and materials for teaching with guidance from the lecturer.
