Description for 2022/23

This is the third module of four leading to the Trinity College (London) Certificate in TESOL. In this module, the focus shifts from the theory of language teaching and learning to practical experience. You will have the opportunity to profile one learner in order to gain a clearer understanding of the types of problems learners may have when learning English, and how the student can help them overcome those problems. In the classroom we look at how to design language tests and teaching English for specific purposes. Further teaching practice is provided at a local charity. You may also wish to volunteer to teach in Poland or in Belgium.

Aims
To continue the development of students' knowledge of the main phonological, lexical and syntactic features of contemporary spoken and written English.
To further develop the methodological knowledge necessary to carry out successful classroom teaching including designing tests, providing feedback on written or oral texts and introducing the concept of English for Specific Purposes
