Description
CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:
Application of linguistic principles to the teaching of English as a second language.
COURSE DETAILS:
In this course, students will examine their prior knowledge of Linguistics in the pragmatic context of Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) practice. This course will provide students with fundamental theoretical and practical knowledge in TESL to adult learners. Students will be given opportunities to plan, develop and demonstrate their teaching skills in class. The course will consist of lectures, in-class discussions, hands-on practices, and micro-teaching practices. Authentic teaching materials as well as various pedagogies adopted in different contexts will be illustrated and discussed.
Although the course will focus on the concepts of teaching English as a Second Language (ESL)(i.e., learning and teaching English in an Anglophone context), the ideas will flexibly be applied to discussions of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and English as an Additional Language (EAL).

Registrar Notes:
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: YOUR WORK, YOUR SUCCESS
SFU’s Academic Integrity website http://www.sfu.ca/students/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.
Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the university community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the university. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the university. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
