Aims, contents and method of the course
The aim of this course (4 ECTS) is to assist and support student teachers during their Master practicum phase (9 ECTS) with regard to observation skills, discussions of ELT teaching issues and the evaluation of their observations and teaching experiences. The course draws on the students’ methodological knowledge of previous courses and aims at the integration of their professional knowledge when planning, conducting, reflecting, and discussing their ELT practice.
To this aim student teachers are introduced to the concept of Action Research (AR) and will be assisted in carrying out an AR Project during their field experience. Core Content: applying theoretical concepts in practice; subject-specific observation techniques; professional reflection procedures (individual and collaborative) principles and procedures of Action Research. Methods: reading tasks, interactive class with student participation in small-group and all-class discussions of topics related to participants' observations, teaching experience and students' action research projects. The main instrument for observation, reflection and discussion is the EPOSTL - European Portfolio for Student Teachers of Languages.
