Methods of Teaching English 3
English Language Education Research 3
Syllabus
Instructor: Brent Culligan, Ed.D.
Course Description: In this core course for the Monkasho junior high school English teacher certificate program we examine your personal language learning history and study some language teaching approaches/methods and the research that informed them. We examine characteristics of junior high school students and their learning context, the Monkasho Course of English Study Guidelines for junior high school, ministry-approved textbooks, and evaluate how well these materials work for teaching junior high school students.
Class Goals: In this course, students will learn about different methods and the principles that guide these methods. Students will show this knowledge by giving oral reports and by taking a review quiz at the end of the course. Students will also learn how to apply these methods in their own teaching by doing practice lessons in class.
Participation & Attendance: Students must attend 2/3 of all classes to receive credit for the course.
Preparation
for Class: Every week, you will be
required to read the textbook before class and take notes during class.
Remarks for Class: Regular on-time attendance,
preparation of weekly homework, active participation in class.
