Methodology in Teaching English as a Second/Foreign Language

Teaching English as a second or foreign language varies greatly depending on the students, institutional context and location. Through writing lesson plans, microteaching and reflecting on the teaching and learning processes, students identify the characteristics of the adult learner, examine historical and current methods in second language teaching, explore the contexts of adult learning and teaching and become familiar with the basics of designing and implementing lesson plans. Students also work with Canadian Language Benchmarks. - LESS

Language Learning and Culture

Learners' cultural context greatly influences the practice of English as a second/foreign language teaching. Textbook and critical incident evaluation, as well as online reflections, help students develop an intercultural perspective in teaching ESL. Students become reflective teachers by critically exploring how culture is reflected in language and discussing the relevance of their own and their students' culture for classroom teaching. The history and current state of multiculturalism and anti-racism in Canada are examined, as well as the role of English as an international language. - LESS
