| Outcomes |
Students are able to plan and implement learning programs appropriate in post-compulsory situations; engage in critical reflection on their own teaching skills by analysing a video recording of a lesson from their first School Experience placement; and demonstrate their competence to teach English as a second or foreign language by creating a professional portfolio. |
| Content |
This unit builds on the unit EDUC8467 Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) Curriculum I by extending students' understanding of the English language learning requirements of TESOL students in a range of post-compulsory education situations. Students consolidate and augment their professional expertise by critically examining their own teaching performance in their first School Experience placement and by developing a professional portfolio. |
