LN5906: TESOL FOCUSSED TEACHING PORTFOLIO (2017-2018)

Last modified: 27 Feb 2018 15:01


Course Overview

This course leads to the production of a portfolio of reflective and informed pieces analysing both the student’s own and others’ teaching practice in line with what has been learned throughout the programme.  Students will gain hands-on teaching practice under the supervision of highly qualified personnel; the experience will then be analysed and related to relevant theory and methodology. Students will gain a sense of what planning and executing a programme of TESOL teaching will involve. This portfolio is a unique feature of the Aberdeen MSc in TESOL and gives a strongly practical flavour to the degree as a whole.

Course Description

This course leads to the production of a portfolio of reflective and informed pieces (amounting to around 15,000 words) analysing both the student’s own and others’ teaching practice in line with what has been learned throughout the MSc in TESOL programme. In order to achieve this goal, students will gain hands-on teaching practice under the supervision of highly qualified personnel over the summer; the experience will then be analysed and related to relevant theory and methodology. Students will gain a sense from this course of what planning and executing a programme of TESOL teaching will involve. This portfolio is a unique feature of the Aberdeen MSc in TESOL and gives a strongly practical flavour to the degree as a whole.

Hands on teaching experience will be within the Language Centre.
