This module is the second of three modules on didactics within the frame of the TEFL program. It is aimed at further development of didactic competence of prospective EFL teachers. This course is a aimed at further development of didactic competence of student teachers. It involves an in-depth examination of current practice in EFL teaching and learning. The course builds on the knowledge acquired in the course EFL didactics 1 and focuses mainly on teaching productive skills in language classroom. Modern approaches, methods and techniques to the "four skills" integration will be provided through lectures, class demonstrations, and class discussions.
By the end of the course, students in this class are expected to: * Apply principles of communicative language teaching to designing oral work in EFL classroom. * Analyze types of spoken classroom performance. * Become aware of a rationale for assessing speaking as a separate skill as well as a skill that integrates with other three skills. * Learn about some principles of teaching mechanics of reading to young learners. * Gain further experience in planning, creating and delivering structured and coherent EFL lessons at different proficiency levels.
