This advanced level language course for intending English teachers has two principal aims:
• To provide a high-level refresher course for intending teachers, focusing on language in use;
• To enable trainees to use correct and appropriate language in classroom interactions.
Advanced level students generally reach a language-learning plateau at which point they feel that no further discernible progress is possible and that any remaining errors in their language use are by this point fossilized. This course will challenge that view, taking a reflective and discovery-based approach. It is hoped that participants will develop the critical skills necessary to assess their relative strengths and weaknesses, and individual guidance will be given on how to improve particular skills or sub-skills. In-class tasks will concentrate on the grammar of contemporary English; the lexical approach and chunking; vocabulary-building through extensive reading; listening and speaking practice through the use of authentic recordings from the mass media; proficiency practice materials. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to practise delivering classroom instructions and explanations using age- and level-appropriate language. Assessment will be by means of a final C-1 level language test for teachers.
