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.
