LCE 517 L2 CALL FROM THE STUDENT PERSPECTIVE (7 ECTS)
The course is designed to develop and build on what has been discussed and practiced in other courses in the specific online MA programme. Its aim is to put the current language teaching methodologies into practice by giving the participants the opportunity to attend role model English language course at an academic level online. The course will be divided into two parts. In the first part, the participants will act as students in an English language course, in which they will be provided with activities that are designed based on recent developments in language teaching, focusing on the usage of technology (link with courses 3 & 7). In the second part, participants themselves will have the opportunity to design lessons, which they will have to carry out online to their peers (link with course 6). These lessons will be critically reflected upon, based on the recent developments in language teaching methodologies. Critical reflection is an integral part of this course and will result to an assessed E-Portfolio. Participants are expected to use technology, as part of their peer-teaching practice. Assessment will be based on the e-portfolio, which will include a theoretical assessment of their lesson design and their peer-teaching experience. On completion of this course, participants should be able to develop electronic materials (link with course 6), use technology tools (link with courses 3 & 7), incorporate these in their lesson plans (link with courses 2 & 6), as well as apply them into peer-teaching practices. They will also be able to practice in reflective learning, self and peer assessment (link with course 4).
