Overview

Module aims and purpose

The module aims to provide an overview of key aspects of language teaching methodology and practice. After overviewing the history of language teaching methodology, the module will focus on important aspects of current language teaching methodology, including lesson planning, promoting, and sustaining interaction, promoting strategies for learning, etc. The module will also consider important factors which affect language learning, including learning styles, motivation, and external context. Through interactive lectures, and group and class discussions, students will acquire an understanding of issues in relation to learning and teaching theory and practice and will develop critical and analytical skills.聽

Module learning outcomes

By the end of the module, it is expected that students will be able to:聽

  1. identify the ways in which teaching programmes and methodologies vary in different socio-political and institutional contexts, and according to learner factors;聽
  2. describe the principles of lesson design;聽
  3. analyse the roles of teachers and learners in a variety of teaching contexts in terms of functions and features of interaction;聽
  4. evaluate teaching materials and resources for different purposes and contexts.聽

Module content

The module covers the following topics: the contexts of ELT including formal and informal learning situations, institutional and individual factors, goals, and purposes for learning; principles of syllabus and lesson design; classroom processes: roles of teachers and students, interaction in the classroom, questioning, and feedback; resources in ELT: materials design, adaptation and evaluation, and the use of new technologies in language learning and teaching.聽

Structure

Teaching and learning methods

This module consists of interactive lectures and seminar sessions. It will rely heavily on class interaction and the active participation of class members in discussions and activities. Lecture and seminar activities in class will give you several opportunities to understand key concepts in English language teaching and make links between theory and practical situations. Given the interactive nature of the module format, class participation and regular attendance of all class members are essential to fully benefit from this course.聽

Study hours

At least 22 hours of scheduled teaching and learning activities will be delivered in person, with the remaining hours for scheduled and self-scheduled teaching and learning activities delivered either in person or online. You will receive further details about how these hours will be delivered before the start of the module.

Penalties for late submission of summative assessment

The Support Centres will apply the following penalties for work submitted late:

Assessments with numerical marks

  • where the piece of work is submitted after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): 10% of the total marks available for that piece of work will be deducted from the mark for each working day (or part thereof) following the deadline up to a total of three working days;
  • the mark awarded due to the imposition of the penalty shall not fall below the threshold pass mark, namely 40% in the case of modules at Levels 4-6 (i.e. undergraduate modules for Parts 1-3) and 50% in the case of Level 7 modules offered as part of an Integrated Masters or taught postgraduate degree programme;
  • where the piece of work is awarded a mark below the threshold pass mark prior to any penalty being imposed, and is submitted up to three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline), no penalty shall be imposed;
  • where the piece of work is submitted more than three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): a mark of zero will be recorded.

Assessments marked Pass/Fail

  • where the piece of work is submitted within three working days of the deadline (or any formally agreed extension of the deadline): no penalty will be applied;
  • where the piece of work is submitted more than three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension of the deadline): a grade of Fail will be awarded.

The University policy statement on penalties for late submission can be found at: /cqsd/-/media/project/functions/cqsd/documents/qap/penaltiesforlatesubmission.pdf

You are strongly advised to ensure that coursework is submitted by the relevant deadline. You should note that it is advisable to submit work in an unfinished state rather than to fail to submit any work.

Formative assessment

Formative assessment is any task or activity which creates feedback (or feedforward) for you about your learning, but which does not contribute towards your overall module mark.

Students will receive on-going feedback from the instructor and from other students in the form of comments during class and online discussions. There will also be in-class and/or online tasks which will formatively assess learned knowledge and skills.聽
