Course Description
This course aims to provide an introduction to the teaching profession along with
certain principles that shape the way student teachers teach. We first examine
“the first lesson including how they start a new class by employing ice-breaker
activities. Then, we touch upon the importance of the distinction between
observation and evaluation so that they could provide more constructive feedback
with each other. Following this, we try to build a basis on the effective ways of
managing a class in accordance with the humanistic approaches. In the second
part of the course, we go on with NLP principles (Neuro Linguistic Programming)
that might have a huge impact on their understanding of teaching. We explore
teaching pronunciation that is often neglected in the area of foreign language
teaching. Last, student teachers are expected to demo teaching pronunciation in
the classroom.
Objectives
Mid-term Test
The mid-term will be approximately 45 minutes in length and will cover concepts

E-portfolio ON FACEBOOK*
You are expected to create an e-portfolio into which they will put their reflection
at the end of each session weekly. Even the notes taken in class and session
journals (of 5-6 sentences) will be included in the portfolio. This work will make it
easier to follow the progression and to have an archive of the course for possible
use in the future.
