Course Objectives:      

The purpose of the course is to promote the integration of up-to-date theories, principles and methodologies of teaching English as an additional language (EAL) within the school system in Israel. Guided by the revised English Curriculum (2015), emphasis will be given to the principles governing language learning and teaching and to practical strategies and methodologies.

  • To provide students with an overview of principles, approaches and relevant theories of teaching EAL.
  • To develop practical skills and strategies for teaching EAL in junior high and high school.
  • To develop sensitivity to learners’ heterogeneity and special needs.
  • To develop awareness of one’s own skills as a teacher via reflective processes.
  • To share ideas, procedures, successes and challenges in the teaching and learning process.
  • To ensure that students are not only language teachers, but that they are first and foremost educators.
  • To ensure students have strong work ethics.
  • To encourage students to always learn, develop and strive for excellence.
