EDUC 637 - Advanced Methods in TESOL

Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Micheau. Students employ action research techniques and case studies to investigate challenges in teaching second languages in a variety of classroom settings. Based on student self-evaluation, class members also review and deepen knowledge of such L2 teaching issues as form focus within task-based and content-based instruction, learning strategies in second language teaching, and materials adaptation. Readings on research and theory in second language pedagogy lead to a critical consideration of the construct of "methodology" within the diverse sociocultural contexts in which they plan to teach.
