This module is aimed at students who are interested in the English language teaching profession in the local context. The module will initially focus on the external factors (social, political, economic, and cultural) which can influence the teaching of English in multilingual contexts. It will deal with such issues as the role of the Ministry of Education in formulating language-in-education policies, the variety of English to be taught in non-native speaking countries, the types of institutions/models for English language teaching. The module will then consider the internal factors (psycholinguistic) relevant to the teaching and learning of second/foreign language acquisition/learning. The module will finally look at existing models of language teaching, which will provide some baggage to the prospective English language teachers. |
