Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

"It is much more difficult to get learners to express themselves freely than it is to extract right answers in a controlled exercise." (Penny Ur: Discussions that work)

Assessment will be mainly based on participation in class discussions and participants' teaching projects.

In this course we will therefore discuss major issues in teaching speaking and will look at various techniques that provide learners with meaningful and motivating reasons for speaking. A special emphasis will be put on drama in the language classroom.

Assessment and permitted materials

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Examination topics

Participants will have the opportunity to visit schools and put some of their ideas into practice.
