ב. תוכן הקורס:

 

Course Description:

This is a hands-on course and the main aim is to develop and improve students’ oral proficiency as future English teachers. The students will present both prepared and impromptu oral presentations. In the framework of the course, the students will have many opportunities to use the spoken language, to become aware of its different features and raise their self-confidence when using it. In addition, the students will develop their ability to assess their own and other students’ performance in oral proficiency. As spoken language cannot be taught as an isolated entity, reading, listening and writing skills grammar will also be integrated into the course. Emphasis will be placed on expanding students’ vocabulary and getting their grammar right.

 

Certain changes and additions may be made to the course objectives as the course will be adapted to meet the specific needs of the participants in the class (both the class as a whole and the individual student).

 

 

Methods of Instruction:

pair/group work, class discussions, presentations, speeches, games, individual tutorials, Moodle assignments, Internet use.
