Methodology in Teaching English as a Second/Foreign Language

Teaching English as a second or foreign language varies greatly depending on the students, institutional context and location. Through writing lesson plans, microteaching and reflecting on the teaching and learning processes, students identify the characteristics of the adult learner, examine historical and current methods in second language teaching, explore the contexts of adult learning and teaching and become familiar with the basics of designing and implementing lesson plans. Students also work with Canadian Language Benchmarks.
