Course Summary:
This advanced-level course provides a comprehensive exploration of the principles and practices involved in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL), with a strong focus on didactic theory, second language acquisition (SLA), and reflective teaching practice. It is designed for students who aim to develop a critical and research-informed approach to English language teaching in diverse educational contexts.
The course begins with an unpacking of core terminology and foundational concepts, including the distinction between didactics and pedagogy, the didactic triangle (teacher–learner–content), and various approaches to language learning. Through this lens, students examine key SLA theories and teaching methodologies, exploring how language is acquired and what factors influence the learning process.
