The module aims to consolidate and extend the student's awareness of learners' needs, to investigate how classroom approaches interact with learning factors, and to enable students to apply theoretical constructs to their own professional context. Classroom procedures will, consequently, be highlighted so that students can develop a critical grasp of the techniques and methodologies available to language teachers. Students will subsequently have a sound knowledge of the demands of diverse teaching situations and possible responses to them.

(LO1) Students will: become more competent at evaluating various kinds of syllabus and materials; be in a stronger position to identify relevant and appropriate skills and learning strategies in real-context situations; be more capable of reflection on their own teaching practices with a view to developing more appropriate methodologies, materials and resources; and be more confident at structuring lesson plans in the light of student needs and better-focussed classroom management techniques.

Topics covered typically include: Presentations and explorations, Use of visual aids, Practical lesson management, The role of the teacher, Language use, Learner development and study skills, Learner motivation, The learning environment Skills and strategies, and Materials and resources.
