| SLT 103 introduces the post-method viewpoint of teaching in the classroom. The course will begin by identifying the students’ intuitions and insights about language teaching. The students will examine ways that instruction can facilitate and accelerate language learning. The students will explore how heritage language, motivation, learning styles, variation in input, etc. can influence their teaching. As the students address the issues of language teaching, they will develop their own definitions of second language pedagogy. In the second portion of the course, students will be introduced to ethnographic case studies of language teachers and learn how to do their own ethnographic study on one teacher’s classroom practices. |
