  • Language Approaches and Teaching Methods

    Course Objective:

    The overarching goal of the Language Approaches and Teaching Methods module is to provide an understanding of various language teaching approaches, methods, and techniques. Students will explore the theoretical foundations behind different methodologies and gain practical insights into their application. By the end of the semester, students will be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to make informed decisions about selecting and implementing language teaching methods in diverse educational settings.

    Course Description:

    This module delves into the diverse landscape of language teaching, offering a critical examination of different approaches and methods employed in language education. The course blends theoretical concepts with practical applications, encouraging students to analyze, compare, and evaluate the strengths and limitations of various methodologies. Lectures, discussions, and practical exercises aim to foster a deep understanding of language teaching paradigms, enabling students to develop a nuanced and adaptable approach to language instruction.

    Course Prerequisites:

    This course assumes a solid foundation in linguistics, language acquisition, and education theory. Proficiency in the language of instruction is essential, as the course involves in-depth analysis and discussion of    pedagogical concepts that will aid in fully grasping the content covered throughout the module
