EDLO511 LOTE Curriculum and Teaching 3

10 cp

This unit is designed to promote a more in-depth examination of the components introduced in EDLO509 LOTE Curriculum and Teaching 1, beginning with the principles of research methodology into second language learning and teaching. The unit promotes familiarisation with the fostering of a positive second language learning environment in the classroom by studying research results on the main factors affecting second language acquisition. In particular the unit examines the difference between immersion and classroom instructed second language acquisition and its practical implications, particularly as they relate to the fostering of the communicative approach in the teaching of the main language strands. Preservice teachers are expected to expand their knowledge of how to best cater for different learning styles in the classroom, and will develop teaching materials based on best teaching practices, including the use of ICT technology.
