Course objectives

This optional course is recommended to students starting their first ELT (English Language Teaching) methodology input in the same semester. It is designed to help them relate their newly acquired theoretical knowledge about teaching and learning English to practical situations. The course thus represents a lead-in to teaching practice, which will be required later during the studies.

Syllabus

• The areas covered on the course are teaching language systems (lexis, grammar, discourse, phonology and spelling) and language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing).

Assessment methods (in Czech)

The weekly meetings of students and their tutors alternate in nature. Once in two weeks the students are discussing their findings from observations of experienced in-service teachers and planning their own lessons, which they then teach to their peers (in “microteaching”) in the following week. The major part of the assessment is continuous and is based on planning lessons, microteaching and reflective observation records forming a portfolio. Another part of the assessment is a final discussion over the portfolio with the tutor.
