Dersin Amaç ve İçeriği
| Course Objectives: | ELT 5003 engages the student-teacher in in-depth discussion of such issues as CLIL, SIOP, English as Lingua Franca, World Englishes, NNEST issues, The Common European Framework, English Language Portfolio and alternative methods of assessment as well as change management. An increased familiarity with these concepts will provide alternative lenses through which the student-teacher may view, analyze, and reconceptualize his/her approach and classroom practice. |
| Course Content: | Participants of this course are expected to present 2 recent articles related to a recent trend in ELT and write reflection reports on the articles to be presented for each week. At the end of the course, the student-teacher will write a detailed report on the current situation in Turkey or another country with which the student-teacher is familiar. The report will address ELT issues and/or problems and propose possible solutions. For this report, the participants are expected to survey related academic journals and books. |
