This course is specifically concerned to introduce students to ELT. The main purpose of this introductory course is to provide students with an understanding of aspects in which language learning takes place in classrooms, and an awareness of some aspects of the structure of contemporary English and the methodology used in teaching English as a Foreign Language.
By examining different methodologies and contexts students will be able to make informed decision about language teaching methods and techniques in ELT.
This course will lead up to and link with the Level 2 course The Methodology of Language Teaching.
