A good approach to teaching English in one situation may be disastrous in another. Effective language teaching depends on many variables, including but not limited to student interests, needs, and backgrounds; access to teaching materials; teacher experience and personality; and institutional requirements. Thus, teachers must be prepared to adjust and adapt their methods accordingly. This course studies the topics of T.E.S.O.L. methods and materials development from the perspective that there is no singular “best” method for teaching English. Although there is no perfect T.E.S.O.L. method, exploring the historical evolution of the T.E.S.O.L. methodology can provide insight into the various methods employed in T.E.S.O.L., aiding the practice of the metacognitive reflection essential for determining the methods to be used in the future classrooms. In this course, we will organize and participate in regular workshops and familiarize ourselves with diverse hands-on activities, pedagogical approaches, and teaching philosophies. We will develop flexible and broadly applicable macro strategies for language teaching that help us better select the appropriate micro strategies required for any specific teaching moment.

This course is designed to familiarize students with key concepts and theories in the field of T.E.S.O.L. and their implications for classroom teaching. These key concepts and theories will be approached critically through the asking of questions that challenge some ‘common sense’ and established theories of language acquisition. Research on effective instruction and assessment for English learners and how these ideas are translated into classroom practice will be discussed in detail. Also, the relationship between English language learning and unequal societal dynamics and how teachers and learners have navigated these in various contexts will be examined.

This course will introduce the intellectual foundations, methods, and motivations of theoretical and applied linguistics: the scientific study and analysis of human language.

The investigation into this field will include linguistic data representing the vast diversity of human language and some of those characteristics universal to all human languages, the discussion as well as demonstration of analytical techniques used in contemporary linguistics and applied to problem sets. In addition, the course will also examine how the study of language and linguistic structure can be used in other disciplines, such as psychology, neurology, and sociology.
