Knowledge About Language

The short course is designed to develop students' subjective knowledge base particularly in grammatical and phonetic knowledge and pedagogical skills which are considered essential for teachers of English to speakers of other languages. The course emphasizes learning English grammar and phonetics, focusing on effective teaching strategies and methods for transmitting knowledge about the English language in classroom settings. Students are expected to engage in critical reflection on their teaching performance and student learning outcomes. This innovative approach encourages the integration of digital technologies in the teaching process, adding a modern twist to conventional methods.

Students will gain competencies in identifying, describing, and teaching formal and functional grammar features along with developing skills to analyze learners' grammatical usage. By designing contextualized grammar activities, students can foster authentic communication experiences in their learners, which are essential for effective language acquisition.

The aim is not only to impart knowledge but also to enhance teaching performance through innovative techniques and methods.
