Course Description
This course aims to provide teacher candidates with theoretical and practical information on teaching a second/foreign language to young learners. In the course, special emphasis is allocated to teaching the four main language skills to young learners and teacher language use in the classroom. In addition, the course covers issues regarding the assessment of young learners and lesson planning. Participants will prepare lesson plans and present practice lessons on specific subskills. Also, by the end of the course students will be familiar with young learner (K-6) course syllabuses (e.g.: story-based, content-based, theme-based, task-based), effective use of child literature within a chosen syllabus; video recordings of young learner classrooms with reference to classroom management, presentation of language and practice.
