TEFL-616 Teaching Listening and Speaking in EFL (3)

This course provides principles and techniques for teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) listening and speaking. Students learn the elements that determine oral proficiency in second language, as well as the key principles and techniques to work with language learners in different instructional contexts. Through a variety of exploratory activities in teaching speaking, listening, and pronunciation, accompanied by a careful reading of research and practice, students form a strong foundation in a communicative approach to spoken language instruction. Throughout the course, on the basis of readings that include research findings and practical suggestions from experienced teachers, discussions, hands-on experiences, and reflection, students establish an informed teaching philosophy to teach listening and speaking effectively in various EFL classroom settings. Grading: A-F only. Prerequisite: TEFL-010, TEFL-610, TEFL-611, and TEFL-612.
