The major aim of the seminar is to ensure you can use English, and above all spoken English, with assurance and accuracy in the classroom. To this end, the course will include a variety of tasks and exercises designed to improve pronunciation and fluency and to consolidate control of relevant areas of grammar. You will practise reading various kinds of texts you might use in class, including poems, aloud. The lexis used in the early English classroom and the language you use for classroom management - for example to introduce materials and supervise tasks - is equally important, and we will practise this as well.
Besides this, the course aims to give you practice in producing your own worksheets and other materials, or adapting authentic materials to your teaching needs. Here, again, the intention is to make sure that the language you use is accurate and idiomatic.
The seminar will take place in the seminar room.

The binding module descriptions contain further information, including specifications on the "types of assignments" students need to complete. In cases where a module description mentions more than one kind of assignment, the respective member of the teaching staff will decide which task(s) they assign the students.
Participants will be expected to participate in a variety of interactive tasks, writing activities, microteaching sequences and small projects that will help develop and consolidate your mastery of English with a specific focus on the primary classroom and young learners. They will also present a picture book in a "Storytelling" presentation, which will be videoed and analysed according to "can do" criteria.
