Principles and practice of teaching writing

5.00 ECTS (2.00 SWS), SPL 12 - Anglistik

We plan to share our approach to teaching writing, and our experiences, both successful and unsuccessful, with you in the hope that this will encourage you to develop and reflect upon your own approach to teaching writing. The course will be very practical and you should leave with a range of materials ready to use in your future classroom.

Please note:
• Attendance at first lesson is compulsory.
• Prior to first lesson, first week of October, please pick up and complete Questionnaire available from outside Mrs. Schwarz-Peaker’s office.
