English for Young Learners: Language Education II
This is a course for you who lack teaching competence in English for young learners. You will develop advanced knowledge of how to use a communicative language teaching approach in the classroom, especially in the grades 4-6. The course is given in English.
You will develop advanced subject-specific knowledge of teaching English to young learners and the course addresses oral and written activities in the language classroom.
With a starting point in current research in language education and assessment of language competence you will be given situations to plan and evaluate your teaching in English as well as assess the childrens communication abilities in summative and formative ways.
