Course Objectives: | Every classroom contains individuals who have diverse strengths, backgrounds, and learning approaches. Different classrooms, too, feature different student dynamics. ELT 5005 aims to aid the teacher in identifying these individual and group features and to equip him/her with tools to serve the students and to manage the classroom effectively. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; Upon completion of the course, the student-teacher will be familiar with motivational and behavioral factors that affect academic performance in both individuals and groups. With this enhanced familiarity will come enhanced ability: the student-teacher will have the tools to create learning environments that encourage positive social interaction and active engagement in learning, which will be marked by higher degrees of learner autonomy. |
Brain-based learning, multiple intelligences, learning styles and strategies, communication techniques, classroom management strategies, learner autonomy, and learner training all represent important components of the course. Furthermore, the class borrows from educational psychology to address motivation, attitude, personality factors, and cognitive styles as they relate to the classroom. Assessment is measured both through students’ ability to demonstrate their understanding of the key themes as well as their ability to apply this knowledge to specific classroom situations. |
