About this course:

The course focuses on supervision of students in linking theoretical knowledge in applied linguistics to effective pedagogies for teaching new speakers of English/emergent bilinguals in an authentic teaching environment. Content builds upon courses in the TESOL certificate with a focus on self and peer observation, teacher professional development in ELT, improving teaching practice, and fostering sociocultural and racial awareness in language teaching. Students will apply what they already know from the field of TESOL to the guided teaching practice in this course. Students will have practice opportunities that draw from each certificate course. For example, students will write a diversity statement that demonstrates how their cultural perspectives and methods impact their teaching of diverse students; students will build on their teaching philosophy by reflecting on their recorded teaching demonstrations and lesson plan materials: students will build on their foundational linguistics’ knowledge by demonstrating a grammar activity with their peers; and they will incorporate instructional technologies in designing and implementing lesson plans. 
Prerequisites
